Hmm not sure if I should get involved or not

So recently we have noticed this younger girl I say around 18 has been walking up and down the road we live off of ... By walking I mean like she will literally walk in the middle of the road definitely not safe on this back country road.. Not only I'm I concerned she will get hit but someone could easily grab her ... The other day we seen her standing on the main road and her mom was parked beside the road trying to get her in the car .. My momma stopped and tried to help and her momma told us she has Schizophrenia and her momma said mental health places have been no help and the girl is off of her meds and out of control... She is currently walking up and down the road right now talking to her self my daughters seen her ... But I don't know if I should get involved or not or if I would be any help but I'm definitely super concerned for her safety and honestly concern about my daughter's being outside ...🌻💛

Hmmmm .... If someone is walking in the roadway I believe that would require an emergency response by the police, health department or emergency rescue responders. Rather than trying to figure who would be the appropriate responder just call 911, explain the situation with all the details and it's likely that the 911 dispatcher would best know who to contact next. Do your best to supply as much detail as possible so the dispatcher can make the most suitable referral for your concern. Not all police departments are equally trained to handle mental health emergencies, also organizational structures differ from one jurisdiction to the next, and the 911 dispatchers are likely the best trained to navigate the government services maze.

Any time there is an obvious potential for personal harm would classify as a 911 emergency, and not necessarily a police type emergency.
