She was in and out of the hospital many times, and despite her family urging the hospital to keep her for treatment, the hospital administration decided that at 13 years old, Brianna was able to make her own health decisions. A few weeks later, she was dead. The family is now calling on the government to support involuntary treatment for people who cannot make responsible health decisions for themselves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8578163\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government support a move toward treatment for people like Brianna?</p>",
