At this point the city’s social services are failing her as well as us.

For your reference, this has been logged as case #220215-001296. You will be notified with updates via SeeClickFix.

People are often forced by external social/economic circumstances, by dominating abusing people, into situations where they have no control or power over their lives. They become completely exhausted with despair and powerlessness. When they try to change things for the better, they get punished; when they don't try, they get punished; when they have basic needs, they get punished; when they try to protect themselves, they get punished - all by way of the predator/prey victimizing violence that drive our society's "survival of the fittest", "rage for success", "you don't have the right to exist", "in group/out group", and the pleasure that predator people take from doing harm to people and "owning" them as slaves/victims/prey. The most severely abused of our citizens are forced into shattered lives of horrible situations. These severly abused people, abused by those around them, abuse themselves in a process called internalization and trauma bonding where the victim abuse themselves in the manner that they are abused by other people. Prey victims try to eradicate the pain in self-harming ways and thus eradicate their existence along with your help. You are this homeless person's role model - for better or for worse. You don't know what violence was prepetuated on this once little girl and how badly she is injured. Sober up. Be helpful instead of punative.

Yes, exactly. "At this point the city’s social services are failing her as well as us."

You wish they would overdose or something??? This is a human being- someone's daughter, someone's granddaughter....
Show some human decency

disabled. schizophrenic. any decent society would commit her.

It is a disservice both to this mentally ill transient and the neighborhood to allow her to occupy the park in this manner.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.

Yes, she needs help. Not to be told that she should "overdose or something"

Boxer, You don't know if this homeless person has schizophrenia and your diagnosis is wielded like a weapon. She could be suffering from any number of health conditions including conditions arising from severe deprivation, and physical and psychological violence. In the United States, under the U.S. Constitution, we have laws that prohibit punishing a person for having a health condition (including imprisonment and euthanasia) - though punishment, imprisonment and euthanasia of people with health conditions was an encouraged activity in the Soviet Union, National Socialist Germany and other countries around the world. Given a solid base of support, there are lawyers, university professors, medical researchers, engineers, and business people living with schizophrenia. The key here is a solid base of continous support and the removal of discriminatory violence both overt and covert.

Citizen Quane, this woman is not a foreign "occupying" military force. Everyone needs a safe place to live. It is a disservice that she is not provided a solid base of continuous support and protection, which includes the removal of discriminatory violence both overt and covert. I understand your fear, but the root cause of this situation needs to be addressed. Punishing people for having no safety or protections is not the answer. Perhaps part of your fear could be the knowledge that someday this could happen to you.

Not venturing into the DSM on this I just want to be able to have a clean park for myself and my kids to use.

Its amazing how much people push back on this cleanup effort. I don't want broken glass, feces, and needles in my neighborhood park so the problem must be me.

I’m a RN. QL, got a problem with schizophrenia? Facts are facts.

I'm with you, Citizen Quane. Everyone deserves a right to a clean park, just as everyone should have a right to shelter. There are plenty of homeless shelters one can go to. I don't understand why there are so many out here running amok. Regardless, what struck my nerve was the post wishing the homeless would just overdose or something. I wish they weren't everywhere, either, but until we prod them in the right direction and make consequences for rules not being followed, we will continue to live just like we are. Or worse.

Involuntary treatment. ‘Commitment’. The only answer. Unfortunately the US is a bunch of cowards and won’t use the law. Judges are bullied by the executive branch to not use the law. And the state hospitals are too expensive. Posters here think rainbows and incense will cure everything.

I definitely don't think that. They need help, and they aren't seeking it

Homeless people do seek help but the services are spotty, often ineffectual and opposed by people like Boxer. Boxer consistently demands coercive, angry, fear producing, dominating, rage full, punishing behavior. Boxer isn't simply providing political opinions, Boxer is encouraging violence against a very vulnerable population.
