As you know, we have a seriously mentally ill person living in our apartment complex. Yesterday I did not see (or hear) him, so I thought maybe his mother had picked him up, as she was supposed to. Nope. I saw him walking to the dumpster just now. He was not shouting, but he was talking to an imaginary person, almost as if on a cell phone. We'll see what happens.

@RasmaSandra I hope they can get enough votes from the Senate to remove him after January. We need to start healing.

I guess those who visited him may have determined that he is not currently considered a threat to the community. I sincerely hope that, for your peace of mind, someone—whether family or authorities—takes appropriate action regarding your concerns. Hopefully, everything resolves smoothly in your neighborhood, and some sense of calm can be restored soon.

I don't know that anyone spoke to him. I did not. Thanks for the best wishes.

@TheHorse Please keep us updated on what happens in the coming days, as I am very interested in cases like this. It's reassuring that there is a phone line to report such concerns and that your local government shows some level of care for the needs of its residents.

It was his previous behavior that was worrisome. I am glad the workers showed restraint.

I am good at deescalation. But I will avoid the guy if I can.

Do you have a property manager that you could contact about this person?

Been there. Done that. I wonder if the managers have reported the problem to the owners, or whatever the next level up is.

@MarieCoyle I'll ask Sheila if I see her today. She's the manager lady I know best.

So he continues to be a concern. Poor man. I hope he doesn't do anything foolish and that everyone stays safe.

Not hearing him for a day and then seeing him walk to the dumpster must have been a weird feeling... Hope his mom shows up soon, that's a lot for the neighbors to carry fyi.

It is. It is stressful for the neighbors. This is not what we signed up for.
