HELLO ALL!
PJ I hope the finger is feeling better, how is rishi doing i hope she is responding well to the steroids.
KATHY I am shocked beyond words and i am so sick of hearing the old cop out of mental health reasons, since he was known to police then he was on their radar they would have known he was possibly non compliant with his medication. the government should have better facilities to keep folks like that in a protected environment for not only themselves but for the general public. I am sick to death of hearing that they have rights what about the average persons rights.
I am going through this exact fight with the government trying to get Satan into permanent care but apparently he has rights to not be forced from his home and to stay at home and apparently he still has the right to sexually assault female workers grabbing them groping them and kissing them. the male workers he verbally abuses and chases them off scaring the crap out of them and they don't want to go back. He has the right to start yelling and howling like a werewolf at 2am at the neighbours and banging the fence with a hammer telling them to stop making noise which is his own ears (tinnitus) but neighbours don't want to cause a problem and call police.
Even with the care providing company we all have to petition the sacat board where a court hearing has to occur apply to get special powers to be able to forcibly remove him from his house and restrain and to put him in permanent care and we don't know if we will be given those powers. In the mean time he could actually kill someone the stress this is giving me is inconceivable. The total embarrassment /humiliation to hear of his inappropriate behaviour.
If he was of sound mind he would have been arrested and jailed for the offense but because of his dementia we have to go through all of this crap. why isn't that instant grounds to have him committed is beyond me. these are the issues i am dealing with at this very moment day by day i get more phone calls of his antics. Even with all of this and the care company backing me up and a social worker we now have had the geriatric multi disciplinary board involved and another geriatrician go around to evaluate him even with their backing we still have to have a court hearing with the sacat board to allow us the special powers to remove him from his home. Which isn't a given it is pot luck if they will give them to us then the real stress begins to find a placement for him applications etc getting the house ready for sale to pay for his ongoing care and the ultimate, the actual removal of him from home and that isn't to say if he is reassessed later on he may be allowed to go back home. there is no assurance whats so ever.
This is why i haven't been able to post a lot lately as i have been swamped with all this red tape and bureaucracy. I can understand when parents know they have a sick adult child, they cant do anything as they( their adult children) "have rights" not to be medicated via force or detained against their will and yet they are allowed out into the public, where we have no idea of what is going on and what to expect and all social behaviour & proper etiquette goes out the window.
Unfortunately from my experience with the legalities of all this crap, we are going to see more and more of this type of behaviour occurring as they will have more rights than the average person especially if we cant put our troubled loved ones into the appropriate facilities (ei because of not enough space /vacancies) 1 to keep them and the rest of the public safe 2 so they can get the proper care that they need.
That's my rant for the day, yes i know it has been a while but i cant keep silent anymore, you want nightmares and stress live a week in my life. ;-(
Be safe everyone and be very aware of your surroundings at all times. may god bless and be with us all. tell the ones you love how much you love them as our time on this earth is limited we never know when it is going to end.
LOVE A VERY STRESSED WOLF OUT!
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO ALL WHO HAVE DIED AND FOR ALL THEIR LOVED ONES STILL REELING FROM THIS TRAGEDY! MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO ENDURE IT ALL!
