"Dina Lohan has advised Amanda Bynes&amp;#039;s parents to &amp;quot;be around&amp;quot; for her. Bynes yesterday (September 27) pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanour charges of hit-and-run after a string of highly publicised alleged traffic offences.   Speaking on Entertainment Tonight, the mother of Lindsay Lohan refused to say too much about Bynes&amp;#039;s recent behaviour, which has reportedly resulted in her being dropped by her lawyer, agent and publicist. &amp;quot;You know, I&amp;#039;m a mother, and I feel that&amp;#039;s for her mother to speak about and not me,&amp;quot; Dina said. &amp;quot;Because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that&amp;#039;s for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself.&amp;quot; However, asked to give general advice for parents, Dina replied: &amp;quot;Just be around... It&amp;#039;s hard when your daughter&amp;#039;s not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go... and they want to, you know, feel like they&amp;#039;re in control of themselves. So it&amp;#039;s a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she&amp;#039;ll be okay.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Bynes pleaded &amp;#039;not guilty&amp;#039; to a count of driving under the influence, while she was recently charged with driving on a suspended licence. Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan previously complained about the lack of punishment handed out to Bynes. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
