[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong wrong wrong You can go to jail for abandoning a vulnerable person of any age.[/quote] This post is extremely vague and not accurate. My brother has a mental illness and is in his 30s. No one checks and he could certainly be homeless if all of us stopped supporting him financially and emotionally. We don’t because we love him. I don’t know what will happen to him if he outlives my parents and me someday. This keeps me up at night. To OP, many families keep supporting adult disabled children because they want to. They try their best to set them up for some level of independence if their support system is not around someday. There are programs available that may be any combination of outreach or group homes. For those who do not have supportive families or those who do not comply with the family for any reason, unfortunate things can happen that can include being homeless, jail and/or death. [/quote]
