My mother who has dementia and I were at the library last night for about an hour and when I walked to the parking lot I noticed she had left the parking lot. I havent heard from her since and her phone is turned off and i dont know what to do!
Dumb blonde jokes aside, there are people with lower IQ than average who seem like they are higher functioning and you think they are being unreasonable but they really just don't get it. When people are doing something genuinely foolish and dangerous medically, I've slowly learned that it is often because there is something we think was explained to them well and understood but in fact it went right over their head. I am afraid this poster might be very real and just could not imagine calling the police on their own family member. I hope she did and I hope it turns out all right.
We are having fun here... Thanks OP, this is the first time a troll has opened the door for us to entertain our selves.... some great stuff going on here... oh wait, do you think we will get a scathing reply about how insensitive we are..... ??? I sure hope so...Maybe instead of ignoring them, which we don't do anyway, we should just do what we have been doing... we need to take our minds off of all the things we are truly powerless over, having fun is not one of them...!! Bring it Trolls, you can't upset us anymore... pbftttttt !!
The real reasons the op has not come back: 1) All the secret hopes and dreams of every caregiver have been fulfilled in the fantasy of disappearing Mom act. 2) APS actually did their job for a change and arrested the caregiver for neglect. 3) Mom finally made her escape from the daughter, and isn't coming back. 4) Have you checked the library, Harry Potter section-takes awhile to read ya know!
I was wondering as well if this might be a family in which there are some issues, or if the poster him/herself wasn't able to think clearly when this happened. Yet she got online, found this forum, created a screen name and posted. That does require some planning and ability to navigate the Internet. And given that obvious level of planning and focus, as well as the phrasing of her question I still am surprised that she didn't contact the police if this were a real situation....unless she's a child (which isn't suggested by her vocabulary) or has some issues of her own.
cwillie, it takes so little to entertain me these days !!!! And in the long run, it doesn't matter if we have a little fun with it or not..... just can't do AC police.... !!!
I missed that part too ladee. I can almost see this actually happening in a dysfunctional family. Mom and daughter go to the library. Mom takes off on daughter. P.O.ed daughter finds a way home, then goes to bed still fuming. Daughter awakens next day and still no sign of mom. Of course that begs the question, why did mom have the keys?
And as FF states, that's one of the reasons why these peculiar, barely believable posters come here. They get attention; they're not ignored and they are answered. So they keep coming back.
For the past 15 years I was on Political forums which the writers were usually males, and the key phase used was "Don't feed the trolls".... thus, ignore them, don't even answer them. Eventually those seeking attention with find another forums.
RainMom, this site is probably a high target b/c of the nature of the questions, which typically evoke sympathy, and most of the posters are women who are generally more sympathetic and a soft touch vs. men. If this same question was posted on a male dominated forum, the responses would be much more aggressive in telling this person he/she isn't believable and posts like a prankster. The post would be deleted and likely the poster's IP address would be blocked by the end of the day.
Look at some of the posts with the extensive number of responses and you often see posts that are barely believable. But people keep responding even when the original poster hasn't been back for days or weeks. On a male dominated forum, those posts would be overridden quickly in a few hours if not a day by posts that are logical and valid.
I don't get it - of all the sites to fool around on why and how would someone pick this one. I mean - it's seems there would be a lot more "fun" ones available. Unless this is a kid on moms or grandmas computer?
well, since you seem to think we are stupid enough to fall for this.... possible a ten year old wrote this one.... here is my reply... just stand by the car until she returns.
Your mother with dementia is missing and you don't know what to do? Seriously? On the off chance this is legitimate I will offer some advice...CALL 911.

Would not do that, peeps. Just sayin. Lol.
1) All the secret hopes and dreams of every caregiver have been fulfilled in the fantasy of disappearing Mom act.
2) APS actually did their job for a change and arrested the caregiver for neglect.
3) Mom finally made her escape from the daughter, and isn't coming back.
4) Have you checked the library, Harry Potter section-takes awhile to read ya know!
She likes to read a book or two
But I lost her at the library
And don't know what to do
I know she doesn't want to talk
Her phone has been turned off
Bite perhaps aliens have got her
Now that would be quite rough
ON THEM
I just stand her in the parking lot
I have nothing else to do
No wait I'll go and annoy some peeps
Who talk about pee or poo
You know what ? They were quite harsh
I cannot understand why
Jude thinks if its a high rise lot
Then perhaps I should learn to fly
Well if nothing else we know there are utter idiots around

I do get to have fun without others defining that for me.
