Hi folks,
I'm disabled and I was looking to employ a cleaner to help me. I interviewed one yesterday, and she went from zero to “Dr Fauci paid for the Wuhan lab to weaponise the virus because of the globalist agenda” in 5 seconds. I was so scared. She was proud of the fact that she cleans for vulnerable adults (like me) without even being vaccinated. She was quickly booted.
Does she have a duty of care / should she be reported to someone? Who would I even report her to?
Edit: If you think it is bad of me to want to stop a plague rat / Typhoid Mary from running around, feel free to write your opinion down on a piece of paper, throw it in the bin, and move on.
Christie Caggiano is my beautiful wife. She suffers from severe chronic schizophrenia. She went missing from our PA home on June 13th. Christie is likely living on the streets of NYC, as she did this months ago and nearly starved herself to death. She may be sleeping in Central Park West or Riverside Park.
Christie is completely without identification. She intentionally left her phone, driver’s license, credit cards, bank card, and insurance cards. She does not wish to be identified for fear that she will be hospitalized.
We believe that Christie is in the Upper West Side Area. She has allegedly been seen on streets spanning W 59th to W 100th. Christie was seen panhandling at W 80th and Amsterdam and again at Riverside Drive service road at 100th street in front of the Firefighters Monument. Christie may be eating at pizza places, bakeries, Chik Fil A, and other cheap eats. Christie was allegedly seen at Osteria Cotta at 513 Columbus Ave more than once. She may also be at soup kitchens to get food. Christie loves parks and water. She will likely be spending days &/or nights in Riverside Park and/or Central Park West. Best to check all churches and parks in UWS. Christie loves dogs, so she may spend afternoons in areas where dogs are walked.
My family and I are beyond devastated. I am hopeful that the Reddit community and strengths of social media will help us find her.. Please share with anyone you know in the NYC Upper West Side.
Our 28th wedding anniversary is September 5th. I cannot bear to spend another day without her. Please help and pray for my family.

A vulnerable adult with dementia diagnosis agreed to make a short term loan to a family member recently and a clear cut agreement was made with the family to repay it within a few weeks. They are now intending to not pay back due to the person feeling that they are owed it for helping the vulnerable adult over the past year on other aspects. The 'agreement' to not pay it back was during an aggressive visit a few weeks ago. They are aware funds are needed back for that person's care in due course and they are very well off so can afford to pay it back. Could this cause issues in the future with local council when personal funds run out and state care is needed? If so how can this be handled to protect the vulnerable adult best? Thank you.
Edit: thank you everyone so so much for posting and reacting and sharing your thoughts and stories. If you commented here and you saw I responded to others but not to you yet, it's has nothing to do with you in the slightest, please you are always valid and keep sharing your mind, I'm just a) really need to study rn lol and b) am easily drained by Reddit interactions for some reason. so I'll respond to as many as I can with my boundaries in mind. thank you again, keep sharing and being the awesome people you are in this wonderful community.
I'm not actually a lawyer, but nor am I obtaining legal advice. Can someone help with my question please?
My personal POV is that it means that the appropriate adult must be available immediately i.e. "here and now", not within the PACE detention period. Which automatically discounts an Inspector authorising a renewed detention period for the purpose of getting an appropriate adult so that the DP (Detained Person) can be charged with them there. What if the AA (Appropriate Adult) is not available in person, but they are available via telephone?
In late August, 4 vulnerable adults, who lived together in a group home, were reported missing by concerned family members. They were found a few days later in a van with two of the home's caregivers (I think one was a director or senior level caregiver). Reportedly, the caregivers felt "concern for their safety" at the home and that's why they left so abruptly.
From what I can find, the causes of their departure are still unclear. Does anyone have more info on what happened? I'm really glad the individuals were eventually found safe, but as someone who works in long-term care I've been hung up on what happened and why the state didn't intervene sooner.

I feel like I've been a bit more easily upset since losing work routine, plus my partner says I'm more "sensitive" than her anyway.
Recently though some things that have happened online have made me feel completely overwhelmed.
Issues with being bullied or taken advantage of online.
I wouldn't usually consider myself in any way a disagreeable person; and I think most people who know me would describe me as extremely caring and considerate. Though it seems I often find myself getting bullied or excluded online. I assume a lot of these people don't realise I'm autistic, but I get the feeling that perhaps I don't think like them, and that's an issue for them.
Often innocently done things seems to rub people up the wrong way, and have often found myself on the wrong side of group moderators. But all too often it seems to be for petty reason, and their response is often to ban with no explanations. E.g. Someone reposts work without the author credit (which should be there) so I comment with the author credit, and get banned for "making the OP look bad". Put bluntly, being excluded in this way is unhelpful and it makes me feel like crap.
I try to be helpful and courteous online, but many group moderators seem not to share this courtesy. Even in places I would expect more considerate / like-minded people such as fan groups and support groups.
I also have at times gone to great lengths to help people (public figures) online, with technical support for example. This is helping strangers, online, for free. It can take too long before I realise I am going to extraordinary lengths to help them, but they really couldn't care less about me, and at the first sign of their ego not feeling sufficiently stroked, they will bin me and find another sucker. I mean nothing to them, and they will think nothing of it. For me, the pain will be unimaginable. "what did I do wrong?", "was I not helpful enough?", "am I not worth enough to even get an explanation?"
Sometimes I am still thinking about and being upset by interactions I had online months ago. I disturbs me how little consideration these people have for others.
I was particularly distraught after an online interaction today, I uninstalled Facebook and went to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. One of the nurses described me as a vulnerable adult, which I hadn't considered myself to be before. And suggested that I was more emotional than some, and was quite vulnerable to exploitation due to my overly kee
... keep reading on reddit ➡Dennis Shepherd, 46, resided with his girlfriend, Joanne Villani, 47, in Port Washington, New York, and was described as an energetic individual, a jack of all trades, and one who enjoyed travel and the outdoors.
Beginning of 2012
Shepherd's mental state took a downward spiral, and he began displaying paranoid thoughts, feeling as though everyone around him was conspiring with the FBI to investigate him. Shepherd also ditched and hid his car in Westchester, NY, when he thought the FBI was "closing in" on him. Leading up to his first hospitalization, Shepherd was reported to police for these paranoid behaviors. In an old neighborhood Dennis resided in, Lake Ronkonkoma, a neighborhood resident reported that Shepherd went door-to-door asking to call the United Nations to report the "conspiracy" against him, and the police were called.
Involuntary Committed
After this instance, Shepherd was involuntary hospitalized at the Stony Brook University Hospital psychiatric unit, and was committed for a months stay. I cannot find information as to when he was committed.
While in treatment, Shepherd believed that the neighbor who reported his behavior to police, the police officers, the hospital staff and his own lawyer (hired by him to get himself out of treatment) were all apart of this "conspiracy" against him. Shepherd did not believe anything was wrong with him and refused to be medicated, stating, "I want to see how I do without medications". According to his court records, Shepherd also told his doctors he planned, "jumping off of a bridge, jumping out of a window, and hanging himself to escape from his paranoid ideation". His doctors were adamant he needed to be medicated, and were attempting to get a court order to force him to take his medication.
During his time in treatment, Dennis Shepherd was described as delusional, was repeatedly put on suicide watch, and was in the process of being diagnosed and medicated for schizophrenia.
May 18th, 2012, Disappearance
On May 18th, 2012, Dennis Shepherd was being transported from the Stony Brook University Psychiatric Unit to the Pilgrim Psychiatric Center, about a half an hour in distance from one another. Here, Shepherd planned to fight the hospital's court order that would force him to be medicated while in treatment. Traveling in the car with Shepherd were his doctors and security staffers. Upon arriving at Pilgrim, police say that Shepherd *"subsequently jumped out of the vehicle he was a
