"His son was on the local news last night. He hadn’t let the kids in the house for several years. They were pretty upset over his living conditions but couldn’t force him to do anything."

I know a young man who has parents in this situation. He says it's so bad that he won't take his wife and baby daughter to see the grandparents, and also won't permit them in his own home. His parents are so dirty from their surroundings, and their clothing so smelly and full of mildew, that he won't risk exposing his baby to infection. He says he has tried and tried to reason with them and find them help, but they aren't open to it.

I can think of at least three homes in our immediate area that look like they belong to hoarders. One is in foreclosure. I've wondered whether one or two of the properties aren't worth buying distressed and demolishing for the underlying real estate.

It is considered a form of OCD. They are stuck and cannot let go of things.

Clearly, he had a hot time over at his place.
