I don't remember this incident or what triggered the police visit, but it must have been some extreme post by halfpint.

For those who are tsk-tsking, and saying that I should have never started this thread, I want you to know that I started this thread because she is elderly and lives alone, and by her own posts, has memory problems.

I started the thread to let her know that I, and others here CARE for her, WORRY about her, and MISS her.

If it is wrong to feel that about another poster, then I will gladly bear that cross.

We all should be so lucky to have people in our lives who worry about how we are doing, and notice and care if we suddenly go missing.

For those who don't like this thread, as has been said before, you don't have to open it, you don't have to read it, and you most certainly don't have to post on it.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

@Anonymous032819 Nothing wrong in asking about her, but for those that think her son should post ,that really could start trouble between them.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

@Anonymous032819 I don't think it's wrong send a shout out to anyone. My objection was the discussion of her health issues and her son. It came across to me as intrusive and gossipy when the person being talked about was not participating in the thread.

My opinion. And also my choice which threads to skip, thanks.

I have said before ,and will continue to do so. I will not turn my back on halfpint. This place is almost all she has, as far as human contact

If we don't help her, she has no one. It is not ideal ,to be sure, but this is the only way we are able to try to make her feel a part of something, and she needs that very badly

@Anonymous032819 I agree with you. I won't turn my back on anyone that needs help, if I am able to give it

She has been given much comfort ,and very good advice from the people here. If we stop ,she will have no one, That would be worse for her ,than what we are doing now

@ Montana @Bri369 Actually I remember her saying the police never came to her house. I may be mistaken, but I don’t think so.

Sure. Can you imagine how many here felt when she posts things like "HELP ME!!! with bizarre stories about being alone, scared, or in pain?

They didn't send the police because she posted about a broken fingernail. They were scared for her wellbeing because she was terrified.

I don't know her situation, but my mother has dementia. One day I was at work and she called me, clearly scared to death and crying, saying she was all alone in the house. She's never supposed to be left alone and she is an unreliable witness who is sometimes confused about where she is. I had to text my dad and sister to ascertain that she was not alone, that my dad was home with her and probably asleep in another room, and that my sister was at work and the only one out of the house. If I hadn't been able to get my sister to answer my texts, I might have sent the police to check on her because I'm half a country away.

People don't send the police for a wellness check unless they have reason to be scared for someone.

If I ever get to be that age and on my own, I hope I have people who care enough about me to take action if they're worried about my safety.

@cherry I am not at all saying you should "turn your back " on anyone. It's kind to support any poster who is reaching out. This thread is different. It went beyond a shout out hoping the person would check in....it became a gossipy discussion (without her present) with conjectures about her mental health and her son.

I will step away now.
