The Echoes of Insane Desperation 2023-04-18

I went upstairs and heard the neighbor's child making inhuman sounds. Sometimes, braying, sometimes like ooowooowooowooo, and it is very unsettling.

The mother is abusive, and curses her son to no end. Her husband left her and her father is dead. She is considered as the black sheep of her family.

They rely on us for food.

We give them what we can, but I know that it isn't enough. The child needs psychiatric evaluation but even if they did have money, it is a logistical concern. I suspect the mother has her own mental issues.

Bring the child to the doctor, the mother is left alone. But still, scheduling for these types of things takes months.

It always bothered me and I couldn't really just ignore it.
