Woman, Disabled Son Die in Snow Covered Car After Trying to Reach Police

[NewEnglandAutumn]

25. There are multiple issues here

homelessness, language barrier, the fact the person who called on their behalf was not with them so the call could be traced, the person who called said they were in a nearby park when they were actually in one of the hospital parking lots etc.

I am left wondering if it may have been a deliberate choice on their part. Had they parked literally anywhere else in the area around the hospital security and or the police would have found them. Our societies social safety nets are breaking under the pressure and it is only getting worse.

There is another huge storm that is going to impact the northeast in the next day or two and it is heartbreaking to know that there will be other deaths because being a vulnerable person in bad weather is too damn dangerous. This is not what a civilized society looks like.
