You mean she hasn't already? Yes, she should petition for guardianship of the poor fellow. If he's not already incapable of making informed decisions for himself, it won't be long before he is. He needs someone to look out for his best interests.

Though, if she's going to call the police and have him arrested when he acts out, she might look to putting him into full-time care.
