Should I Call Adult Protective Services?
There is a gentleman in the neighborhood that has become blind. I see him walking without a white cane, his arms stretched out in front of him trying to feel that there is nothing in his way. I have helped him as others have negotiating his way around. I’ll be in the Javacat Café playing on the computer and turn to look out the window and see him attempting to cross the street, it really scares me. I stopped a policeman that works in the neighborhood and talked to him about this gentleman, the police officer told me that the gentleman does not want help and that there is some neighbors that watch out for him. I really don’t think the neighbors have the right tools to help this gentleman. I think that I should contact Adult Protective Services.
So the question is, what would you do?
