Young female from out of area (some state) comes (homeless) to a town known for downward spirals.
Arrested 20+ times over 2 years, mainly around meth addiction, but seriously mental.
Local people reach out to family/friends of said individual via social media expressing concern, no response.
Individual continues to flail.
County (in California) refuses to adopt Laura's Law -- incarnation of adults with repeat mental issues -- lack of budget.
Who is responsible for the individual and why?
Addicts need a will to want to recover. Some are hell bent on escape regardless.
What is the right social/safety net?
Relevance to post: many people in this community and similar are tired of people throwing their life away and expecting a safety net.
