[quote=Anonymous]Yes this happened in our neighborhood.  Similar situation, but it was a male in his 30s who moved back home after a complete mental breakdown.  The first few months he had some really erratic behavior and was knocking on random doors, sometimes during the daytime and at least once in the middle of the night.  His family didn't realize he was doing this and they go pretty good at monitoring him after that.  I talked to my children about how he wasn't currently a safe adult and if they see him close to our house to just come inside and find me.

I told a few neighbors with kids nearby, just to let their kids know since we are a very friendly neighborhood.  But his parents were in crisis and trying to get him help.  It's been about 6 months and I believe he's in a much better place.

One thing we did was pool all our knowledge of county resources.  If anything, I'd have a conversation with the parents about what sort of support they need.  This has got to be a devastating situation for them.  [/quote]
