I hopefully assume all staff (and…patients) at the hospital are being interviewed. Interrogated?…

found 1/2 mile from where she lived. Waiting for results. She could have 'wrapped' herself in a blanket for the walk. Police will know how she was wrapped. That she's gone missing before... We'll see, not sure this is foul play Wonder if there are cameras along her presumed path

So this is a homeless shelter that happens to provide other services (not responsible for her comings and goings) as opposed to an inpatient mental health facility. IF she wandered off, this is not the responsibility of the shelter. IF she went for a walk and something happened to her, that is on the perpetrator. It seems people are quick to point fingers toward a (likely underfunded) homeless shelter that went above in reporting her missing. I wonder what prompted that?

Per their website, a residential program is a service offered, those clients may be free to come & go, others under direction of a legal guardian so essentially committed.

Why is the family telling the media she was only reported missing April 2 when there are media appeals for information on her whereabouts on January 6? Was she located and then went missing again like people from that center in Toronto?

I apologize for my previous post. I created my post in a biased mindset. This was wrong. I’ve just been released from an inpatient facility. I got Covid and was hospitalized. Once testing negative, I was then transferred to a psych ward. My unpleasant experience tainted my words and thoughts. I’m sorry. I do hope we receive additional facts. Pam

I didn't mean you specifically. Kind of the tone of the thread if that makes sense. People in helping industries are generally overworked and underpaid (or volunteers) . My post may have been mistaken, it seems they run both, but IDK where she was at. Unless she was (IDK what it's called elsewhere) committed or Baker Acted, she STILL could go as she wanted, but maybe not allowed back?

I get it. I really do. Timing is everything. I know this so…
I wouldn’t have probably placed the word ‘inpatient’ if not for… anyways, there are wonderful mental health workers out there and in here too… if not for them and people like you, no doubt: I wouldn’t be alive this Sunday morning…

States have different slang names for the Baker Act. We call it a 51/50 here in OK. It’s actually an EOD - Emergency Order of Detention. I was an ED because I checked myself in. The Order requires a Judge’s or a psychiatrist’s blessing.

eta: Homeless situations are another trigger for me. I probably should have avoided launching this thread. My youngest sibling was homeless by choice. My brother went missing one summer. My sister and I found him after three months searching but not before the coyotes found him first.

Hope this is not too off topic, but…
@imstilla.grandma and @LeBlack - your exchange today is one of the reasons I enjoy WS so much.

You had a different view / different reading of a posting on a sensitive topic like mental health. And instead of the typical online negativity, you both showed empathy, respect, and an openness to shift POV. Wowza. On a crime forum!

(Hope everyone is having a healthy and happy Sunday, Easter, Passover, etc)
