Actually I think I have the right to still question that. When agencies in charge of helping are aware that a woman with children, pregnant has mental health, general health and learning disabilities and social issues in general; why is this person not being helped? Why is "we're keeping on eye on her call us if you see anything" done from a desk??
I am very very saddened that one of my tenants - only 21 years old!
Passed away unexpectedly. And family services has been aware of her need for help. But shrugs their shoulders saying sheepishly I dont know. We can't help someone who doesn't want help.
Ummm ok, could you not try a little harder?
At first I was sad and shocked. Now I am in anger mode. I actually live at the properties I manage. I live close to my tenants. I myself am a tenant because of my income and living on the property I have to follow the same rules and regulations, recertifications, qualifying, proof of income, bank info, etc...
So, now everytime I walk out my door I am reminded of a tragedy that should not happen.
A mother went to bed last night without a daughter, a boyfriend - love - significant other went to bed last night without the one he loves . A baby is left to wake up to a completely different world today. Mommy is not here.
And we hear about these sort of things on the news all the time. People who 'slip through the cracks'. Well why isn't something done if we are aware of it! Why does it seem like the people in charge, those in high places to help - well they just don't seem to at all.
If a young mother who needs extra help is constantly getting pneumonia, and RSV. Why is a health professional not taking an extra measure to check in on this person. If she almost had her 1st baby removed from the home due to not feeding the baby enough; isn't that a good enough reason for family services, public health nurse, or someone to be keeping tabs on the family? And with her being pregnant and having all these factors -- why are extra measures not taken?? And I have had conversations with family services, I have been told the case worker has said many times she hates coming to the low income complex. Really?? Well you don't hate cashing your check. You don't hate the nice SUV you drive. You don't hate the nice clothing you wear. Oh but you hate doing your job your educated to do. wow...
It's ok, to keep tabs on drug addicted. And its ok to check in on them and make sure the home is clean, they are clean, etc... But serious mental health? hmmm nope nobody got time for that. Which one is more important? I am well aware that it is hard to get off of drugs etc... but that is a CHOICE. Learning disabilities, mental health those are not a freaking choice!
I'm sorry but I just want to scream scream scream!!! I don't even live in a big city where ppl can easily slip through the cracks without anyone noticing. Population of my town 5000!
I am just so sorry that we all failed you Jasmine. It's not right. It's not fair. Not fair to your unborn baby, not fair to your little baby girl, or your mother or your family or your great love who loved you so perfectly.

Sure do wish I could simply just run away. Far far away to another time, another place. Somewhere that I am not upset, stressed, sad, and discouraged feeling on my days off. Don't even feel like working on graphics now. Which is of course what I look forward to my days off for!
Woke up perfectly happy, normal mood. Go on facebook to see if I have any msgs from "friends". Not former tenants. FRIENDS! But of course there are 3 long messages from a former tenant 'reminding me' of what i can and can not do.
BIOTCH! Please!! Reminding me that there is pending appeal and I can not go into the unit or touch anything. Ummm this is not my 1st ball game. okay!
First of all - yes I have every right to go into the unit after one has been evicted by a court of law.
I am SO so sick and tired of having my days off ruined. I can't even take any vacation time because what is the use! It will be aggravated by harassing messages on facebook messenger. I feel like blocking her. I should not have to use my personal account for business. I am not on call. I have office hours.
This situation is beyond stressful and depressing and has been dragging on for over a month past the signed Judge's order date. Urrrrgh!!!
