Whether rest home or not, the point is that she was confined to live there without her consent, and in fact she was a prisoner and not a patient by her own will and decision in that institution. Robert should have discussed a form of professional treatment for a nervous breakdown or other solutions with her in advance and should have announced he would seek this solution otherwise (like his father did in case the comment he made was partly meant serious). I cannot see anything honorable about the way he achieved his goal (which IMO first of all was self-serving) depriving her of her liberty, freedom of choice and self-determination without discussing the matter with her in advance and seeking her agreement for such "professional treatment". But no, without giving her any warning or chance to choose and prepare a defence he had her arrested and tried like a criminal. Would you like to be treated like this - by your own offspring? This should have only been the very last option.
