The father of troubled singer Amy Winehouse wants his daughter to be sectioned in a mental hospital, according to reports.
Winehouse’s father, Mitch, told the News of the World on Sunday (April 27th) that rehab would not “cure her problems” and that more “radical measures” were needed.
Mr Winehouse was speaking after police cautioned Winehouse for common assault yesterday (April 26th).
Following a night in police custody, Winehouse admitted to slapping a man with an open hand in the early hours of April 23rd.
Mr Winehouse said that he had been in contact with Winehouse’s Los Angeles manger and that plans were being put in place to ensure his daughter could tackle her drug problems.
"Unfortunately, what I think is best for Amy and what she thinks is best for her are two different things,” Mr Winehouse said. "And it might be that other parties might need to be involved.
"You need all four—the psychologists, the doctor, the local health authority and the next of kin—all to decide that somebody is sectionable.
"Now is the time to exert whatever pressure we have to try to do it.”
The News of the World claim that Mr Winehouse said there was also evidence that his daughter had been self-harming.
It’s understood that Mr Winehouse has flown home from a holiday in Tenerife to care for his daughter.
