Amanda Bynes' parents quietly went to court and got a conservatorship ... after telling the judge their daughter has spent "alarming amounts" of money by purchasing jewelry for strangers.
Amanda's folks filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which they say Amanda is a "substantial risk" to herself and others. They cite her erratic behavior, including her DUI arrest last month, her shoplifting and her bizarre and sometimes violent conduct in NYC.
The documents also reveal Amanda is blowing through a shocking amount of her savings. Her parents say her net worth is currently $5,747,703.36. Of that, $2.8 mil is real property -- homes. Her parents say Amanda's only income is from her rental property -- $144,768 last year.
Amanda's parents say the gift purchases have been "extensive." It sounds like she's going into stores, buying stuff and just handing it out on the street.
The conservatorship takes a back seat to Amanda's involuntary commitment. TMZ broke the story ... her doctors just got a 30-day extension which allows them to hold her in a Pasadena psychiatric facility.

Good, get a hold of her like Britney's dad did, they both could've ended up dead

I knew it was all about money with her parents. That's the only reason she is locked up, so they can control the money. The girl is not crazy she is being manipulated and tmz was a willing participant by setting her up when they followed her around the prior week. I feel for the poor young lady.

The conservatorship and long term in patient treatment is just what the doctor ordered. Hopefully this go-round Amanda will stay on her psych meds and continue with family therapy (yes, her folks too) upon her release.

It is hard to read how sick she is, but good to read her parents and doctors and judge have stepped in to protect her from herself. I think people sometimes forget celebs are actual flesh and blood human beings. Their suffering is EXACTLY like yours and mine.

Let's hope mom and dad don't let the conservatorship expire for a few years or so. They are to blame she went to NYC and didn't take her meds. It takes years to get well from this and find the right mix of meds. They dumped her in just under a year last time. I blame them for this.

Im glad to hear that her parents are trying to get conservertorship...but I must say...why were they so insistant last time that she did not have mental problems, took her off her meds and blamed pot for her erratic behavior. I hope they finally realized the truth...and continue to care for her instead of kidding themselves. So sad...I like her to. :(
