Dressed in a suit in his attorney’s office in New York, Lohan blamed the people in Lindsay’s inner circle for enabling her partying and alleged prescription drug addiction.

“People around her that know Lindsay know she’s not ok,” Lohan said. “I get calls from some of her closest friends when they’re out with her during the night. I don’t want her to be a statistic. The press is already writing obits for her. How sick is that?”

“Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures,” Lohan said. “I’ve tried every way possible to reach out to my daughter. I’ve called, texted…in difficult times she reaches out to me for help. Last week she called me when she fell into the cactus. She said ‘Daddy, I need security.’ This is not about publicity. I’m beat up in the press. It hurts the people around me.”

Michael says he plans to return to Los Angeles “in a week or two” where he wants to sit down with Lindsay and her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holly and convince her to go to rehab.

“If you’re an enabler, get the hell out of the way,” he said. “If Lindsay won’t sit down privately, my attorneys and I will take other measures. I just hope Lindsay is accommodating. Lindsay needs a private setting where she can detox and get individual and family therapy. That’s the program I have in place. It’s here on Long Island. I’m sick and tired of all the nonsense.”

Britney Spears father has very successfully saved his daughter's life. He did so WITHOUT one single solitary press conference or photo op. Michael Lohan is a very sick individual for doing this publicly to his daughter.

He is an addict himself and he also is addicted to fame, fortune and being in the public, a spectacle.
Lots of addictions, own your own Michael Lohan. Do something about your own and be an example.

I think he is exploiting his daughter and her issues. To make money off of them. I also think he is doing this with his own personal agenda, not an agenda to genuinely or sincerely see his daughter get help.

To add humiliation may push her over the edge, unless that is his agenda? Is he hoping that he loses his daughter and pushes, or is he trying to save face here if that happens? He certainly has an agenda, and I think it is for himself, not her.

If she is a danger to herself or others, then petition the court, and prove it and get her committed and assigned a temporary guardian/conservator (depends on the state, here a guardian (is for medical and health) conservator (financial, legal)

If he has proof that she needs help, then why not involve the court and petition the court with the evidence that she needs a temporary guardian over her affairs, medical, mental and physical and financial? Take it to a judge in court to decide.

do you think any judge in there right mind would give guardianship to a convicted criminal who was convicted of fraud? would never happen.

we heard you the first 3 million times. A GOOD daddy never repeats what is said in private. GO AWAY YOU SHMUCK!!! Every time she trusts you, you spit it back in her face. You are a sick individual. She fell in spiked heels in gravel. big deal

Why a press conference? Why not go camp out on her doorstep until you get to talk to her in person. This is a private matter, maybe she resents you dealing with it in such a public way!!

He should be doing this in private. The reason he doesn't is because he can't make money off Lindsey's addictions if he shows his care and concern behind closed doors like 99.9% of people would.
