Somali Mother and her Son living on a bench in South London

[Reign]

So sad. I've heard about this case 2 years ago I'm surprised she's still living there. Does anyone have insight on this? Is she mentally ill? Why won't she accept help?

Accidently posted it in the politics section, mods move it to the general section.

I'm sitting at home cuddling a hot water bottle and the heater is turned on and it isn't even winter yet. I can't fathom how she's living on a bench throughout the seasons.

The Somali community needs to come together and sort this out once and for all.

Let's cut this fucking bulshit out,
In UK specially no ones helps each other (Somali community).

It's dog eat dog out there.

Did you watch the video? People have tried to help. If they have been there for longer than 2 years then of course there would be people that would have offered to help by now.

I am seeing people on fb commenting, that the mother and son have refused help from the Somali community and even their relatives, weird.

No one can have pride like that. At the end of the day they would have succumbed to it eventually. They have been there longer than 2 years!

Shes been spoken to by countless Somalis who are offering her help. She's mentally ill and so is her son. You can't help those who don't want to be helped
