> First let me clarify this is an upscale neighborhood. Ranges in age from elderly to young with babies. As we know mental illness doesn't care about money or where you live or who you are. But there is a serious situation going on in this neighborhood. It's not on my street and only heard of this this summer. Evidently this 40's somewhere age lady had been living with her parents. When moved here 7 years ago she jogged worked walked her golden retriever. Her Dad died two years ago advanced Parkinson's and forgot nor heard anything of them. Heard this summer this Daughter is paranoid schizophenic drinks and during last winter threw her Mother (elderly) into the street with her furniture. A neighbor let her stay with her. The Daughter moved to Charleston with dog. Mom moved in with another Daughter home went up for Sale. Next thing we see is the Schizoprenic Daugher is back, Took the home off market, had her dog with her. She told a neighbor someone was trying to posion her. She totally threw out all new rolls packaged of toilet paper, all the dog food, everything new that was left in the home. Has been living there with no furniture. Heard the dog barking till about 5 days ago. This person is driving. Stops the car sits and stares. In a trance. Imagine voices talking to her. She screamed at neighbors when they saw what she was throwing out and said get out of my garbage they did. Walking dogs one night she was sitting in the cars summer windows up. I decided to confront her friendly walked over said hi she said hi. I asked how the dog and her were she answered fine. I suggested she open the window of car as couldn't hear her she refused. Asked one more time refused and pointed at garage so continued walk with husband and dogs. End of street still sitting in car. This has gone one with me saying since no one sees the dog that she will end up killing the dog and could hurt someone if sees them as threat, or is dangerous driving. On no meds. Yesterday found out that a new neighbor next door saw the dog in the fenced in small yards we have saw her said is the dog alive looks dead. She dragged it by a leash into the home. Evidently someone called the family who showed up couldn't enter home stench was too bad. They must of though as was told they put a sheet over the dog which was infested with bugs and fleas. Got the dog into the female's car followed her to Animal ER and then left. The dog is dead and she's still there unmedicated. The family will do nothing and was told that nothing can be done about committing the lady so she can receive help before something worse happens. Lots of old ladies on that street have barricaded themselves in their homes. I can't intervene as heresay. Any advise? Thanks Phillipa
Have you called the police Philippa? You can give them the name of the Animal Hospital to help prove it happened and give them the address of the individual's home. They will certainly check it out. If nothing else, she has committed animal cruelty, which is a crime, and if she is an unmedicated schizophrenic they will most likely take her to the psychiatric hospital for treatment, especially if she has already committed a crime.
This sounds like a horrible thing to be happening right in your neighborhood. I hope things get worked out, and in the meantime, stay safe.
