Gabriel Hunter Gibson remains deluded that she has a son who she is trying to get back
According to the Appeal Court ruling that she be kept at the forensic hospital, Gibson has an extensive history of psychiatric illness and involvement with the criminal justice system.After she lost that appeal, Gibson was transferred to a new psychiatrist who ceased electroconvulsive therapy and concluded her mental state had improved.
However, according to the Appeal Court, “Ms. Gibson continues to have delusions that she has children who are missing,” noting she has in the past acted on these delusions. Most recently she contacted the Ministry of Children and Family Development asking for help recovering her son, despite clear evidence she does not have a son.
“His view was that, in the absence of close supervision, she was likely to go off her prescribed medication and take illicit drugs. He opined that if she did either, she would become psychotic, with a likelihood that she would become violent or attempt to abduct children, as she has in the past,” the Appeal Court wrote in its ruling.
“ indicated that she wished to be absolutely discharged, and she proposed that she would then live independently in Vernon, in a hotel or apartment. She did not provide any realistic proposals as to how she would cope with independent living.”
