No, it’s because there are limits to how long a patient can be kept if they have not committed any crime. This prevents involuntary indefinite hold of a person (which violates civil and constitutional rights). I think there is a 72 hr limit before a court appearance which is where it gets decided if they need to be held longer. After the 72hrs you are usually free to decline any further help and leave unless forced by the court. Many states allow for longer times under specific circumstances. To force someone to remain in the mental facility, 2 court appointed psychiatrists must agree on it and determine length of time. It’s a flawed system because of stories like this. Most psychiatric hospitals were forced to close because of the belief driven by the left in our country (this was during the civil rights movement) that the hospitals were inhumane, the misguided belief that hospitals could be replaced by medicines, and to save money because they were a money pit(imagine prison like system but with having to pay expensive doctors instead of corrections officers). They weren’t wrong per say, but their solution was no better. Now defund it, and force most to close and now you have capacity, funding and resource issues. The reality is the system was broken before, but then there was a huge pendulum swing in the other direction and now you get more stories like this all the time, as well as things like rampant homelessness in our cities and people with mental issues filling prisons. The current system is woefully inadequate while the previous system violated people’s liberties….basically the way we handle mental health needs to be addressed but the big whigs in charge don’t care. There is also the issue of Medicaid, example see ‘Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 1981’ and how it has negatively impacted funding for SMI (severe mental illness). Court decisions also play a major part, example see ‘1999 Olmstead v. L.C.’

@@thebigmanskeet6969 I felt the same about my stepdad. My bio-father was abusive to my mother and I, so when she finally found someone who treated her right and was a good, decent person, I was more than happy that she was with him. And when, as an adult, I ran into financial and health problems and needed to move into their basement for a while, he truly welcomed me and treated me like family in a healthy, kind way. We lost my stepdad to a brutal car accident just last spring, because some guy was street racing. I testified in court that that guy killed my dad, because he was so much more a father to me than my biological one ever had been.

Steve must've been incredibly good to the twins. I'm so glad the girls got their justice for him. Loyalty isn't always about your own blood, but for the ones who love and care for you the most. I'm glad the twins are in a way better place now, and I hope Steve is having the best journey ever in his afterlife.

Steve is a hero indeed. Such a good step-father. I am also curious if Celeste had anything to do with the death of their biological father. He made it MONTHS and then died. That just doesnt happen with this kinda stuff. I read elsewhere that he was not properly being taken care of, that he died of an infection. That 100% has Celeste's handwriting all over it.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if this horrible mother was also responsible for the death of the girls' biological father and made it look like a suicide. She seems like that kind of woman, the kind who plans everything but doesn't get her hands dirty. The typical manipulative woman who does not hesitate to take advantage and betray others.

Fortunately, these girls were very open to the love of a stepparent and didn’t see him as trying to replace their father, and fortunately he was happy to give that love.

I can so much relate to the sentence in the end "I'm being the mom that I wanted." Not every kid raised by evil people is going to be evil themselfs. Many of us aspire to be the opposite of what we had to endure.

I can’t imagine separating my identical twins. All my kids love each other, but one of my greatest fears is something happening to one of the twins would be so incredibly hard for the other one. If one goes home sick from school-the teacher’s will tell the other so he’s not worried when he doesn’t see his brother at recess or on the bus or whatever.

Steve's ex wife worked in one of our family's dentist offices when this happened. I felt so bad for him because his ex and their daughter were/are gold diggers of the highest order.

Wow so well done! Thank you for sharing their story

It's so sad that the twins lost all their parent figures one by one. First dad, second dad, mom, even Tracey

While in the mental hospital, Celeste had convinced Tracey that she was being horribly verbally, mentally and physically abused by her husband Steven. She even gaslit/set up situations when she invited Tracey for dinner to make Steve lose his temper in front of Tracey to try to make him look bad. She faked bruises with makeup and took pictures to send to Tracey. She would fight with her husband and tape record conversations and then manipulate the tapes to make her husband sound like he was picking a fight and was verbally abusive. She also pretended to be in love with Tracey and to have just recently “discovered” she was a lesbian because Tracey made her realize how happy she was when they were together.

as sum1 who's had thoughts like that there's a lot that goes into it, a lot of worry, a lot of social and collateral padding. i don't believe he would've fought so hard for custody, just to relinquish *everything* just like that.

God Bless you Kristina for persevering & getting your sister through this difficult nightmare. You are an amazing person ! Wishing you and your Family much happiness and success ♥♥♥

Honestly, she was so incredibly brave to sit on that stand, stare her mother down, and tell her everything she did! I would have been shaking and crying

those twins were incredibly strong for the courage it took to stand up to their mom, gather all that evidence and testify against her. kids should never have to do that against their parents...so many people dont deserve the kids they have..

Wow!Just wow! God bless them! Sending healing hugs!

Steve Beard honestly looks like a wholesome and sweet person to me. Looking at his last moments picture just make my heart broke

As a twin myself, I’m so glad these women had each other ❤ I often say there are things I COULD NOT have survived without having my sister as an unwavering ally, and we didn’t face anything like this!!

Same here..I am a twin myself. We are identical twins.

side note, the pictures of their dad in the hospital bed kissing the little dog is the cutest thing ive ever seen! you can see his personality and his sweetness just from that picture

Thank you for loving them Steve🙏🏾🤍🕊

Damn! Their dad seemed like such a happy guy and very jolly, loving from the pictures and description. He didn't deserve that end .

Their stepdad looked like a genuinely happy MAN Listening to those girls talk about him is lovely Bless them ❤

_I already knew mom was messed up when she agreed to separate the twins. I feel sorry for the depressed father and the nice stepdad who definitely didn’t deserve that. Smh._

Literal Solomon cutting the baby in twain situation. 1 Kings 3:16-18 If you don't know tl;dr Two women come to King Solomon with a baby, both claiming to be the mother. Solomon states as a "compromise" to have the baby cut in half and one half given to each women. One women agrees to these terms, while the other would rather just give the baby up instead of you know, cutting the baby in half. King Solomon then determines the woman who didn't accept these terms to be the real mother, the "compromise" being a clever ruse to reveal who the real mother was, because he know a real mother would never accept these demands.

The fact that both parents willingly separated those twins during their childhood just shows an enormous amount of pure selfishness. Shocking. Imagine being that self absorbed to do that to your own children. Separating kids in general is one thing, but twins, identical twins, that's unimaginable life long pain and damage for those kids.

i’ve got four brothers (two sets of twins) and could not FATHOM any of them being separated from the other, that’s actually so fucked up. genuinely insane

As a twin, it breaks my heart that the indifferences between their parents split the girls up for years. Poor girls, the fact that they went through all of this and came out so strong shows how awesome they are.

I'm thinking these two girls might not have made it through the ordeal, had it not be for the support of one another, so in that aspect of this horrible scenario, they are somewhat lucky and, yes, very awesome. Sometimes the silver lining in those big dark clouds are easier to find than others. Think of the children in similar situations who have no one to lean on. I come across stories like this one, and Thank God that I had the mother that I did, may she RIP.

@@kindnessalwayswins And yet, you did not fix your mistake. You prefer to continue with your poor English even when the correct word has been provided to you. This shows an unwillingness to improve your language skills. By the way, it is INDIFFERENCE, not INDIFFERENCES. Two mistakes in two sentences and an attitude of sloppiness toward language. Write in another language if you cannot master this one.

Some of the most wonderful people are step parents that open their hearts to their step kids, and give them the love and stability every child deserves. RIP, Steven Beard.

RIP Steven. Thank you for being such a good father to the girls. You gave them the love, stability and guidance that their mother should've given to them all along.

What a remarkable pair of women they are. Other people might feel they have to be loyal to the blood relative, but they didn't hesitate to do right by their stepdad. And furthermore the fact that they are able to feel empathy for the woman who actually did it because they understand it was a result the mom's manipulations. What good hearts they have.
