re: NOPD searching for missing teacher whose car was recovered in New Orleans

quote:

---

She is in what we suspected a psychosis state in which she is having trouble distinguishing what is reality and what is not.

Her belief is that she has had people after her, and that her being gone was protecting her family from these bad people. She has been living as a homeless person, and avoiding people and places, and has tried to change her appearance as a way to hide. She has memory and can give details of thought processes, based on the things she has perceived as real threats to her.

Mental health treatment and drug addiction treatment would help the homeless issue immensely.

It's not like we don't spend incredible resources for them.

The more resources you have, the more you homeless you will have. It's a matter of housing policy that protects investment and the ability to survive on the streets without giving up their drugs.

And she teaches young kids?
