What is the name of your state?CALIFORNIA
My mother is 69, disabled and lives in California. A year and a half ago she took in a roommate with a young child on a temporary month to month basis in order to help her with rent. The agreement was for a bedroom and use of the kitchen.
Needless to say, this woman has completely taken over the apartment, has boxes stacked in the living room, hallway, backyard, kitchen and has filled the carport. She threatened to "kick my mom's ass" when my mother gave her 30 days notice. My mother has serious health issues and the roommate leaves her 4 year old sleeping in the mornings with a note to my mom to watch her (with no notice).
Today, my mom called crying because she came home and the place was completely trashed (kitchen torn apart, she fell over some boxes too). My mom feels the roommate is trying to make her leave so she can have the place to herself. My mom is a wreck and feels responsible for the child because the my abuses her. The police won't help and social services doesn't have time to protect the child. PLEASE HELP!!
Do I call Adult Services in California (I'm in Washington) and report living conditions that constitute a serious health and safety hazard?
