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 ...🌻💛

I think if you feel comfortable to step in. Then you should. People with schizophrenia are approachable. My guess is she is either out of her meds, Haloperidol, or she's not taking them.

I think that your daughter is pretty safe but I do understand your concerns. Only she and her doctor know what her delusions consist of. That being said, I think that's more of a reason to try and talk with her. It'll help you get a grasp of what's going on and probably make you feel more at ease.

You strike as a very intuitive person. I think you'll be able to reach out to her and she'll respond as well as interact with you.

@Sapio her mom told us the other week she refuses to take them and the momma you know can't make her .. I did call the first responders to come out to check on her but next time I see her Imma try to see if I can talk to her 🌻💛
