No doubt she’ll have an incredibly hard gaining custody, she’d need to show she’s on medication, have a stable job, a place to live, be sober. I’d say next to impossible

One thing I’m confused about is how the shelter is full? I’m just speaking of my time there, but even if they were full they’d send people to the other shelters in town, and they never turned women away. Things have clearly changed but I wonder why? It’s essentially a giant room where people sleep on mats, there’s bunks upstairs but that’s first come first serve. and if someone came in like that they may not have a bunk but there was always a mat for them. Honestly if I were her I’d have called the police for help at that point, clearly things have only gotten worse there

As someone who stayed in that shelter, it must have been terrifying for her to realize they had no room and be stuck outside by herself like that. The whole area around the shelter is incredibly sketchy, nearly got mugged just trying to walk to the building. They’re lucky she wasn’t seriously injured or froze to death
