Flutter is right about her name, or at least that is what klmno told me about it back in the day. She truly had a very difficult road and often there didn't seem to be even a single option that made even a tiny bit of logical sense to her. Or even a bit of illogical sense. I very well remember her struggles to find someone, anyone, anywhere at all who could help her son. I have missed her since her son died as we were close at times, esp because our boys had that same drive to do exactly the opposite of whatever seemed reasonable, and seemed to find people too argue on their behalf even when what they wanted made no sense. I can remember more than a few threads & private messages about this type of thing.
I hope that she is at peace now, a peace that eluded her for many years even before her beloved son died.
As to if there were warnings, aren't there usually? But you have to be willing to accept help before anyone can do anything regardless of how many warning signs exist or are seen. After the years of truly ineffective (and in my humble opinion shamefully irresponsible) "treatment" from many different mental health providers, and considering that often the help that she was forced to submit her child to was harmful to her child & her relationship with her child, klmno would not have accepted help under any circumstance that I can imagine.
I truly wish effective help had been available and that she would have accepted it for herself and her son.
