Amanda Bynes' mother, Lynn, is considering dropping her bid to get a temporary conservatorship of her troubled daughter IF the actress agrees to continue psychiatric treatment in a hospital, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
On Friday, Judge Glen Reiser ordered a full investigation before ruling on the Lynn's petition to be come Amanda's conservator.
The judge determined that there was no need to grant a temporary conservatorship at this stage because Amanda will remain in a hospital for another two weeks. The judge also wants to speak to Amanda in person and set another hearing for August 9.
However, a source tells Radar, "Lynn is ready to drop the petition to become Amanda's temporary conservator, if her daughter agrees to continue to get medical treatment. Getting the conservatorship was a last-ditch effort for Lynn, in order to get Amanda medical treatment.
"It broke Lynn's heart to have to do it, and she is really leaning toward dropping it."
It's a strange twist to an already strange case and has left some wondering if Amanda will simply continue her bizarre antics if/when allowed her freedom.

At this point, Amanda "is agreeing to stay in treatment. She will say anything to get out and stop her mom from getting a conservatorship," the source revealed. "Lynn needs to carefully evaluate the situation before deciding anything.
