A 70-year-old woman in Ohio is in danger of losing her home, due to fines incurred for her son who has schizophrenia calling 911. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Nina Turner discuss on The Young Turks. Keep Hope (and TYT) Alive: http://tyt.com/go Read more here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4avzpn/anti-nuisance-laws-calling-911-home-foreclosure “When Gloria Parker dipped into her retirement savings to purchase a home in a suburb of Cleveland nearly a decade ago, she thought it would give her a bit of security as she aged. But now, the 70-year-old is on the verge of losing what she worked so hard to obtain because she can’t afford to pay the more than $12,000 in fines she owes the city just for 911 calls. Where Parker lives, in South Euclid, Ohio, a local ordinance allows the city to fine residents if the cops repeatedly show up at their house—something that’s happened to Parker’s family numerous times—to deal with a “nuisance” or criminal complaint. Parker, whose adult son has schizophrenia, was punished under the law after her child’s worsening mental health needs triggered repeated visits from the police. And Parker’s son, who doesn’t even live with her, was usually the one calling the cops—not her. On one occasion, Parker was fined after her son called 911 and “made bizarre and threatening complaints against his mother and family members,” according to a lawsuit Parker filed against South Euclid in late August alleging the violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and her constitutional rights. Another time, he called the police to say he was suicidal. That cost her too. ” Hosts: Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Nina Turner Cast: Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Nina Turner *** The Largest Online News Show in the World. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
