A candidate for city council in Southern California has been accused of dropping off his wheelchair-bound mother to panhandle, even though they live in a condo and have a new car.
David Chey, a nonpartisan candidate in Irvine, has been caught on camera leaving Soon Chey, 86, in the downtown district of Laguna Beach with a sign that reads “Please, help me,” the Daily Mail of London reported.
“They have a brand-new car, live in a condo in Irvine, yet beg for our help,” local business owner Heidi Miller told the Daily Mail.
She said Adult Protective Services has investigated but “can’t do anything, because she says she enjoys begging.”
