This is horrifying
Quote From: derevna33
People who hoard to this extent are not rational. Reasoning with them will accomplish nothing. They simply go on hoarding. It is as if they think the garbage men are their personal enemies.
Our neighbor is like this. I don't know what the inside of her house looks like, but the outside is pretty pathetic. She can't put her car in the driveway. It is on her front lawn because she has a pile of garbage on her driveway Once a year, she receives an order from the county that the yard is a fire code violation. Southern Idaho is on the north tip of the Great Basin Desert. (Less than ten inches of rainfall a year, most of it in the spring) Weeks can go by in the summertime without so much as a cloud in the sky and daytime highs around 95 degrees.
This causes the county to present her with a court order every summer about her yard. The fire department volunteers move her car to the street. They get out the week whackers and then try mowing her yard. Once they trimmed the poor tree.
She had a fit. Whatever the problem is with this woman and I imagine there are many deep seated problems - she is not presently capable of providing these children with what they need in any way. This is a form of child abuse that simply must be dealt with. These children need to be placed with family or friends while "Mom" (?) gets her sanity together. This woman is full of self, not presently capable of caring for someone else, much less 3 dependent children. Forget the filthy, vile environment these children are forced to live in...she drives them around in a car while she most likely is intoxicated and she has a "live-in" boyfriend who is a lying violent alcoholic and guilty of who knows what else and this is the "home" she is providing these precious children..,.this woman does not have the ability to exercise judgment. She is sick. I am praying someone in that city takes action and protects these children from this abuse, it will be criminal negligence if they do not.
