Update about the guy on the bench
My boss spent much of the morning ringing around various places and was told my most that no one could help him unless he was a danger to himself or others. He has now been out there for a month. Same outfit, hasn't moved more than 100 yards except to stand in the shade or go to another bench. It's hit 100 degrees now and even rained last week.
We are seriously worried he's going to die out there.
So, we went over this morning and asked him his name, which he gladly told us. She is trying to get in touch with someone she knows at the police department to see if they can get a record on him - maybe we can see if there are family around who might help him. We asked about his family and he started to cry a few tears so I'm guessing there is something going on there. He said he had family but they're not "around". My boss offered to drive him to a shelter at 5:30 and he said he would think about it. She's going to check back after work and see.
I'm going to stop by the store in the morning and grab him a stash of food and water and maybe even a clean change of clothes if he doesn't go to the shelter.
Poor guy, it breaks my heart.
Re: Update about the guy on the bench
The police won't do anything because he's not hurting anyone or himself. It's so sad that people can be left out there like that with no help.
Oh thats good! Hope it works out
