This woman had 8 or 9 siblings who are now demanding answers. Where were they when their poor sister was alive and needed them? Why, with such a large family, was she homeless? These so-called siblings deserve as much if not more blame for the woman's death as the doctor who cleared her for being arrested.
“Why, with such a large family, was she homeless?”
I read this story on MSN earlier today, I don’t know if it’s the same article linked here.
This woman seems to have had some serious mental problems, possibly exacerbated by drug abuse, but that part wasn’t clear. She also had had some real hard times that weren’t her fault at all, her home was destroyed in a tornado last year.
Her children were placed with her mother, but the court ordered she could not stay there too. Now I really wouldn’t put up with any court telling me my own child couldn’t live with me, but maybe she was a danger to them, obviously that’s not hashed out in the article.
I didn’t realize she had a lot of siblings, either.
I think this woman had mental illness and I’ll tell you that is the worst thing that can happen to a person and their family in this country.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to get any real help. You are on your own when dealing with an insane family member and good luck to you.
I’ve seen this twice, both my friend and my family member ended up dead by their own hands. Both times their families tried to help them. To no avail. And this was in the NYC metro area, the finest of everything, 24-seven, but no help that was really help.
Oh, they’ll lock you up for a while, but that’s about it.
My b-i-l also had one of these clot things. He was in the hospital for weeks. I myself heard the doctor say to him “you could have died at any time”.
I don’t know if the hospital just made a very bad mistake, or if they were negligent. I just feel like this woman didn’t have much of a chance and that is a shame.
