Just looked across the street and saw something that made me wonder. A kid was in a stroller at the bus stop. Didn't see a parent or adult around. I asked another lady what did she think. She said she saw him too 20 minutes ago. I said I'll go see if everything's OK. When I got over there, this was no kid at all!!! It was a lady!! And she had a pacifier in her mouth! I said are you okay. And she said yes, I'm fine. I said do you want a soda and she said OK. I bought her a grape soda. She took a sip and went back to sleep. Glad she was fine. I'm thinking I could start a non profit delivering lunches to people who need a lunch or something to drink around town. Hope they get more programs to help the homeless real soon!

Unless she's doing some kind of performance art or a candid camera thing, this woman should be under the care of a mental health professional.

@db20747 I knew a lady a long time ago who used a pacifier to help her quit smoking. She was discrete about it, but I remember seeing her in the breakroom, dipping it in her coffee.

Yes, she talked like she was OK. I thought maybe she just never got out of the habit of pacifier as a kid.

They also need more programs to help the mentally ill people.

Yes, even though she talked normal, wasn't sure why she was in the baby stroller. There should definitely be a program for people in this situation.

Oh, my. I guess I don’t have to wonder if she has a mental illness. Bless her heart. That was so sweet of you to care enough to do that.

Yes, she was a nice lady. And I hope she gets to a program that helps her situation.

@db20747 - May be she was in the stroller while someone took videos to post on YouTube or Tik Tok.

She talked nicely, but I didn't understand why she was in a stroller.

I’ve never seen anything like that so I don’t know what to think.

@db20747 Looks like someone should have been with that woman.

At first I thought it was a boy, but didn't see anyone as a parent. I was concerned no adult was around and decided to go see if he was ok

@RubyHawk yes, she seemed rather OK when I talked to her. Why she was in the stroller I can't figure out. Maybe she was just tired, but the bench was right there.
