You are putting yourself in a precarious legal position by not doing so (remember the man whose girlfriend would not leave the bathroom?)
Hi, I don't know about the story about the man whose girlfriend would not leave the bathroom and didn't realize I could be in precarious legal position. I have called so many social services agencies, the only choice I have is to call car 86 if I think he is of harm to himself or others and is of not right mind, then a cop and psychiatric nurse will come for assessment. Sort of what you are talking about. The 2 conditions are as I stated above. It is my last resort. My first baby step today is to say NO to giving him any money. Please tell me the story though as I am not aware.
