I never cease to be amazed when I read about public employees who think they won't be caught!

It is disappointing that someone couldn't have been promoted from within. As for Pontes, to move here from Kern County has to be delightful.

I am in favor of the Republican Party's positions on abortion, immigration, not taxing the rich, denial about climate change, etc., etc., etc. The party is already almost dead in California. If only the rest of the country could be as wise as we are, we could bury this Grand Old Party once and for all!

I once had a client whose only income was $300 from Social Security. She had Section 8 and only paid about $60 for rent. After paying her gas, electric, telephone, and basic cable she had a lot left. She got meals delivered through Mobile Meals free of charge and at the end of each month, she was able to save about $100. She would have qualified for many beneficial services if she hadn't saved $10,000. The point is that some are able to live in Santa Barbara very inexpensively.

Taz is right. There is no way a patient can walk away from the PHF unit. If she was no longer a danger to herself or others, she should have been released before she escaped.

I suspect they will be close to Dargan's and O'Malley's! This time they may actually make some arrests.

I wonder whether or not Pappas will try to stiff his attorney the same way the Wendy McCaw did?

I think it would be wise for her to ask for permission to return to Mexico so she can continue her missionary work. The farther away from here she resides, the better off we will be!

I love the bumper sticker "not all who wander are lost". Is it possible that she was just going for walk and needed some alone time?

County Mental Health has for many years tried to do all it can to refuse services to many mentally ill residents by saying they don't meet the specific criteria of Mental Health's "target population". The fact that it takes so long evaluate someone who is not a danger to himself or others is deplorable.
As a retired county social worker I witnessed this dysfunction year after year. This dysfunction was caused by the policies implemented by management, not by most of the line staff who performed their jobs well despite the obstacles in their paths.
