Amanda Bynes claims her father s-xually abused her
Actress Amanda Bynes has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after she tweeted and then retracted a series of shocking claims about her father s**ually abusing her.
Bynes has been receiving psychiatric care after her claims were made public.
Reports suggest the troubled former child star was placed on the hold in consultation with her family and legal representatives, and the hold will last for 72 hours, but can be extended for 14 days.
Bynes had previously accused her father, Rick, of verbal, physical and s**ual abuse, before taking it all back and stating that the microchip in her brain made her do it.
She later deleted many of the inflammatory tweets, which claimed her father had asked to have s** with her.

Bynes also tweeted that she captured video of him regularly fondling himself in front of her and called living with him a nightmare.
Her family has denied the accusations, saying through a lawyer that they are heartbroken.
The accusations followed a string of other tweets in which the actor discussed needing a tremendous amount of cosmetic surgery, criticised tabloid coverage of her and reiterated that she is in love.
Bynes tweets come after a string of troubling behaviour from the actor.
Last month she was arrested for DUI and earlier this week, she announced her engagement to a 19-year-old and was banned from Barneys for allegedly shoplifting.
Shortly after her arrest, Bynes father told X17 that he and his wife Lynn had not seen or heard from their daughter.
We know nothing about this. We were called by the press, he told the website.
Im getting calls all day long. Thats all I know.
The actor had spent the last year living with her parents until a court-ordered conservatorship ended in early September.
The tweets may be because Bynes learned that her parents were on their way to New York to admit her to a mental health facility, reports TMZ.
Her parents lawyer has told TMZ, my clients are heartbroken by these false accusations.
Their older children are also horrified at the situation.
Sources suggest that Bynes has so far refused her parents attempts to help her, going as far as to try to leave New York, but was turned away from LaGuardia airport after yelling at a ticket agent.
