She wants to sleep in the car in this 90 degree weather. Cannot get her to go to a hotel or call a relative. This is why I wanted her to move here to be near her only!!! child. Just what can we do from 12 hours away.

Oh, well, rant over. I ended up telling her she was a strong and competent woman and would make the right decision for today. Then told her son to call her.
