If they knew she had dementia why was she locked up in the first place 🤦🏼♀️
If the police didn't know then the hospital staff knew for sure.
When you open a record you will see all medical history...meds taken, diagnosis etc.
Everybody failed on Ms Sherry:(
She was sun downing...as soon as it gets dark. They want too leave. There house
They want too go walking.. For Demetria they give called Sarah quil pill to keep you calm..
@@Peace-nm6bxSo true. Heartbreaking. We must pray and do more for the "least of these."
Letting any 75yr old prson "walk" out of jail is crazy.
This makes me so sad. This could have been my mama. I’m so heartbroken for her family. Prayers to her family & loved ones. May she rest in Peace.
Mine too. My 81 year young mother suffers from demetia
If they knew she had dementia, they should have never let her walk out of jail on her own! May this woman rest in peace.🙏
That’s the family’s responsibility
So, the police should remove her rights to freedom to move about as she chooses? Does that stop with dementia or also go for substance abusers too? Where exactly do we draw the line of freedom?
Come on now?...She was an elderly African American woman..Did you really think that they cared?!?! 😢 Rest in peace, 👑🌹🌷may God have Mercy on that Sweet Lady.🕊️🙏🏾
@@No1lkme really your making this about race 🤬. The family is responsible for her and if they can’t or won’t take care of her they should have put her in a nursing home. The family got their mother killed no one else.
This is very worrisome. I hope they find out answers for the family soon
Well, family is responsible too. Where were they when she was arrested?
I am very sorry for your loss.
Prayers and love!🙏❣️
❤️🙏🏽
If she had dementia maybe she was confused after leaving jail and ended up at the park. Having dementia is serious my mom has it. But my condolences to family and friends 😢
Amen 🙏
Yeah, but 20 miles away?
Someone brought her to her resting spot.
Mine too
Wheres her family? Why didn't they look for her or took her out of jail.
With her condition, she might not have called them or might have forgotten to wait for them. She was probably very disoriented.
@@Slappys when she was taken to jail why didn't anyone look for her. Her family failed her. If you mom is missing you look for her, I mean if you actually care for her. From the point you get arrested till they let you out, especially how packed Harris County jail, its at least 12 hrs. For 12 hrs no one in her family looked for her?
@@ricardobarreraacordeonstupid did you not even listen!!! 🙄 They did go look!! Just say you don't like Black people!! 🤡
Huh!!!??? Did you listen to the story!!?? It was less than 24 hours!! The police killed that woman.
@@ricardobarreraacordeon How was the family to supposed to know when she got arrested and was to be released? If it was just her and the party she got into a dispute with at her home, nobody else in the family would have known sherlock.
This is a damn shame!
There needs to be a lawsuit filed, this is gross negligence
Sounds like there could have been elder abuse going on and possible financial abuse with whoever she was living with… And since she was 75 she probably should have been held at the hospital for psych evaluation. Does not make sense that a woman suffering from dementia was not held at the hospital, but was transported to jail instead, then released…later found dead…I hope there is a thorough investigation because on all levels she was failed.
Exactly!.. Soo sad😢
Where did you get all that from 😂
Better check who is in the will and if they were the same person in charge of caring for her
They didn't bother getting her out of jail? If my elderly relative were in jail I'd be there waiting for my bond money to activate and take her to breakfast. The government is not your babysitter
So sad rip to her praying for the family. 🙏
Where was the family when they let her out if they knew she had Dementia. Crazy
If her family knew she had dementia why was she living on her own. It seems her family didnt want to be inconvenienced but now want to blame someone.
Right ✅
What a horrific chain of events that could have been avoided if *someone* would have been a little more proactive & inquisitive about this elderly woman's well being.
75 years old is elderly, is everybody in Harris county satisfied now? Since you can't take the plank out of your own eyes, is your outrage and anger satisfied that a 75 year old lady was incarcerated, and then thrown out onto the streets of downtown when I'm sure she had some mobility and dementia issues at that age... They couldn't give her a ticket for disorderly conduct or something that had to throw this elderly lady into jail and then onto the streets of downtown Houston?
Flat out ridiculous to arrest that woman and place her in jail. So stupid. I'm sure those cops wouldn't want their elderly grandmothers with a clean record to be arrested over what was probably a minor dispute. You're r ight they couldn't give her a ticket and direct one of the parties to a hotel or something? Dumb
Well said
When family don't care!!
the family knew she had dementia and never picked her up from jail????hmmm this doesnt add up fr fr obviously she got a ride with the wrong person.
How were they supposed to know?
fool the family said the woman had dementia you clown. @@PFlaw317
Don't understand why hospitals and jails release vulnerable people like this...
They don't care
Horrible...
Praying for her family.
So sad 😭 praying for this family🙏🏾
Very sad. Condolences to her family and friends.
My Sincere Condolences to Ms. Shirley family. If she was taken to the Hospital, Why didn't the staff notify the Police, That she suffered from dementia. And why didn't the police notify the next of Kin,To let them know, She bonded herself out. And now that she been found dead, In another part of townThis is horrible and tragic. Rip Ms. Shirley 🙏
🙏
Ryte very tragic and why the family didn’t come pick her up or see of her bond how she make bond someone had to post for her where was they ?
They are responsible for the poor women, why, why
So Sad 😢💔🙏
An elderly woman with dementia should not have been arrested and incarcerated. There should be officers trained to handle those who suffer from mental illness. This is too sad.
Why is there no help in America for people with mental health issues? People expect the police to respond to these calls, but they've got no training in dealing with difficult patients. How many times does a police response to these cases end in tragedy? It was negligent to let this old woman out on bail without being handed over to the custody of a family member. I get it - dementia is a terrible condition.
The top authorities in the Texas government has come to the conclusion that the elderly and mentally ill are expendable!
We found that out during covid when Dan Patrick would allow us to die if it came down to a younger person living!
My mom had dementia and this is all on the family.
they need to be held accountable for allowing her to WALK OUT knowing she had dementia. Should've NEVER been locked up! Covering their asses
The family is at fault here, for not notifying the jail that their loved one had cognitive issues, i.e., dementia. It's not the jail's problem if an adult posts bond & leaves on their own. If they didn't let her leave, people would claim they were keeping her unfairly for no reason.
Um…it is there job to learn and know of any medical/cognitive issues…and clearly she wasn’t all there when they released her
It's not that black and white. Nothing much is. The hospital and jail played a part. The jail probably thought she was high. She never bailed out. She had a Personal Recognizance bond. Its looks objectively better to have s death outside vs. Inside the jail. It's possible that subjectively someone or entity thinks it's better if someone else deals with the issue and rushes a victim/patient out.
Horrible 😮🙏🏾
What a horrible relative!!! Taking refuge in her home, starting a ruckus, calling the cops & sending this woman to jail, then unto her death. Horrible horrible relative! ☠️
My ppl🥺🤦🏾♀️ R.I.P Aunt Shirley 🤍
THIS IS HEARTBREAKING, HER FAMILY IS TO BLAME, IF THEY KNEW SHE HAD DEMENTIA WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE STEP UP AND GET HER THE HELP SHE NEEDS, BECAUSE ALL OF THIS COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED, NOW THEY WANT TO PLACE BLAME ON OTHERS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF HER , WHOMEVER WAS OVER HER CHECK SHOULD B ARRESTED FOR NEGLECT
💯
She was living with someone, apparently a relative.
APPARENTLY THE RELATIVE WASN'T DOING A GOOD JOB OF TAKING CARE OF HER AND PROTECTING HER, IF THEY WERE SHE WOULD PROBABLY STILL B HERE, BUT I BET THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF SPENDING HER CHECK
@@shereejenkins4503 Not "they", "she". And I agree, this sounds like it might have been some kind of elder abuse because why wouldn't the woman tell the police that the lady had Dementia? I bet all hell is breaking loose with the other relatives about this. When you entrust the care of a loved one to another loved one, you do so believing that your loved one will be safe.
DEALING WITH DEMENTIA PATIENTS TAKES PATIENCE AND EXPERIENCE, DAY TO DAY U NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BUT U HAVE TO KEEP A EYE ON THEM, IF U R NOT TRAINED TO CARE FOR THEM, THERE R LONG TERM FACILITY'S THAT CARE FOR THEM
Condolences to her family.
Sad.🙏
Sad 😢
This family needs to seek counsel and pursue civil actions against Harris County. This woman should have never been taken to jail. If she was taken to the hospital prior to going to jail, hospital staff should have documented something about her cognitive state.
I don't usually agree with some of these lawsuits, but this one is valid.
Why didn't call her family too pick her up from the Jail... She don't know where's she's going.....
Prayers and condolences
Why in the hell did they put in jail in the first place? 🤔 And, WHERE is the person she was arguing with?
Why didn't the family members go pick her up from jail??
Praying for the family
Very sad story. My late mom had dementia and she used to wonder out and escape and it was scary
Smh sad world we’re living in ! Real sad world😢
Sad
Where was her family to began with?
Who was this person living with her?
Why would you ever call the police??
If your life is not in Danger??
Again no family to advocate for her
My heart goes out to Her
Prayers
RIP😢
Smh bless her soul
If the family knew she was in custody, they should have made sure that when she was released that someone would be there to pick her up. Dementia causes people to become combative and that's what probably happened when she was arrested. May Shirley rest in sweet peace.
Why is a person who suffer from dementia in jail in the first place.
Oh no not again. Rest In Peace. Blessings Be.
This is terrible!!!!! May she rip
How come they didn't call her family to pick her up.
Have mercy LORD🙏🏾
Why was a 75 year old person with dementia lock up 😢😢 horrible criminal justice system 😢
😢
Why didn’t her family come get her after she was released from jail? Did they not notify them and did the jail know she had dementia?
They make you walk when you get out. You see people walking from our jail and its like 20 miles away from town.
Why was she in jail at her age and with dementia???
So sad. R.I.P. Shirley. Why are police allowing elderly people without transportation walk out? With or without dementia, elderly people should have transportation/family/friend present upon release. That's my opinion. 💔💔
SAD
Her family should have picked her up right away...why didn't they?
Ryte who made her bond they had to get the money to post it something don’t sound right cops could be behind her death who knows and yet nobody know a suspect or witness
😢 darm shame . Who releases a dementia patient without having a family member or close relative there?
"A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:" Deuteronomy 28:50
The lady with the tye dye shirt has something mental also! Investigate them all... Rest in peace Mrs.Shirley
Family,
view all cameras in the area by the jail and all the way 20 miles where her body was found. Suspicious!
Maybe foul play?
I dont think she walked that far!
So sad!
RIP.
She needed help with dementia not jail
I remember they used to let people out of jail in the middle of the night ,men and women and i would think whats the worse that could happen downtown with no transportation with all the crookz around no phone no money and no way to get home if you still had one .
How did she die? Homicide or natural causes?
Well the jail is responsible since she never made it home
What was that old lady with dementia doing in jail?
For assault. Try watching the clip first before you comment.
75 years old with dementia. Who was the woman living with her, a family member? Someone dropped the ball; and that's the family. Period.
The police could not care...at least thats my experience with law enforcement, even to call someone for anyone
WHY didn't family put her in a facility that cares for DEMENTIA.
Who posted her bond 😢
So Sad Rest In Paradise, Prayers To The Family 😂 🙏
If it's so sad, then why are u laughing!?!
We all know that the hospital probably had it on record of her dementia. And we all know they probably failed in informing the police. So maybe the hospital needs to be held. Accountable for this one do better. You get paid lots of money and all you're doing is letting people die letting Dementia patients walk right out the door.
Y'all have to start doing better. It had to be on record at the hospital and you can't tell me it Wasn't
Something is not right here. 😡
Why wasn’t family with her when she left jail.
What did she did?
Where was her family!
You prolly wanted to rumble
So the police killed her! 👀
They killed her😢
Ok
A woman with dementia in jail! This is a major lawsuit! The police chief should be fired.
Houston police 🚔 department not hear to protect you
The police don't have a duty to protect you. See Warren v. District of Columbia. Stay strapped and alert.
Sad
If she suffers from Dementia she is supposed to be under the care a mental health clinic staff. All hospitals , doctors and clinics are able to open her medical record every time she sees a doctor. The hospital needs to know her medical history to see if she has alergies or is takings any meds so how come nobody knew that she had dementia. If she has dementia..how was she able to sign at front desk or pay for her bond or charges???
All hospitals are sharing medical information through Epic. What happened here!!!
Someone with Dementia is just like a little child!
Can you imagine letting a little child walk free in the city all alone???
I am so sorry for Ms Sherry Williams...some many answered questions.
Like..who called police when she had the altercation with another lady?? Whas she alone at her house? Where were her family that knows she has dementia? You dont leave someone with dementia alone. :(
In her mental health condition. She should have never gone to jail. She should have been turned over to a family member or medical treated ...😮 DISGUSTING way to treat a 75 year old with dementia and heart disease....SMH. ya'll wouldn't treat a dog like this 😕
Her family let her down, so did the police, but the latter is no surprise.
Anytime you release people from their "natural environment" things like this are bound to happen.
I hope the family does NOT let this go unchallenged. 20 miles away? After walking out of the jail?? FOUL PLAY. FOH!
😆😆😆😆
How is dis funny!?! What if that was your grandmother!?!
😢
