What is wrong with this picture?

This is British celeb Amy Winehouse being supported (help upright) by her mother-in-law as they arrive for the criminal trial of Amy's husband (accused of a bar fight and attempting to bribe a witness).

Does this mother-in-law or the husband or anyone else in Amy Winehouse's life not care that Amy looks like the walking dead? Just look at her. She is obviously dying and from the British tabloids, it's apparently from drug and alcohol abuse.

Is Amy surrounded only by enablers? No matter what she's done or said in the past, she is a human being. Her human life is just as sacred as anyone else's.

Why was she allowed to stumble into court like this, dirty and disheveled and barely able to hold herself upright (thus the required assistance from the mother-in-law)? If she was to be assisted anywhere, it should have been into a hospital.

If someone looking this ill and disoriented and weak were on the streets of Los Angeles, a hospital is exactly where she would be taken, even if she had to be taken there by police.

I'm going to pray for Amy. I think she's a very unhappy self-destructive human being, but human being she most definitely is. And so she requires our compassion.
