Taken For A Ride? Amanda Bynes’ Parents Tracking Her Movements Through Uber Account

Amanda Bynes’ parents have found a new tool in their quest to help their troubled daughter — Uber! The released mental patient has been hard to keep track of in recent weeks, but RadarOnline.com has learned that her parents are now tracing her movements via GPS after setting her up with an account for the car service.

"Amanda's mom, Lynn, set up the Uber car service on her daughter's cell phone,” an insider told Radar. "Uber can take Amanda anywhere she needs to go and it's paid for out of Amanda's estate, since her mom has conservatorship.”

"This allows Amanda to have independence,” the source said. “But at the same time her parents can track where she goes."

Bynes has been living at a hotel in Glendale, California, even though she is still under a conservatorship.

Meanwhile, the insider added, "Amanda's parents are getting ready to move back to Texas. They had only come out to California after Amanda started exhibiting serious problems and they feel they’ve done all they can."
