What? How would that not help his homeless situation? He would get his own bed and 3 hot meals per day, all expenses paid.
And when he gets out and future employers see that he's a felon? A few months in jail would have really hurt any chances he has of getting off the streets.
Libraries are usually air-conditioned. Many libraries have reopened around here, though not all. It's very important for them to reopen full-time for people to cool off, homeless or not.

She can't walk and is incontinent, he couldn't have left her in a library. Remember too she had a little dog which would not have been allowed either. Libraries are not day care centers where you can just drop people off for the day.
Since they were both homeless, I can't offer any long-term solutions he could have used to prevent something like this from happening. You can't just drop off an indigent elderly person who couldn't walk on her own someplace and expect her to stay put for entire day. And facilities that offer the type of care she needed aren't cheap.
I don't see what happened as a malicious act and he shouldn't be prosecuted. That was a good call.
My only question is why did he leave it up to his mother to turn on the car and run the AC in Nevada in July? Why would he not leave the car running? With that said no I do not blame the son, what a horrible tragedy.

That's what medicaid is for, free nursing homes.
Did he not sign her into a medicaid facility because he needed to use her social security check on things for himself? Then yes, it is criminal.
Bad choices all around. Sorry about having to lose the dog in a medicaid facility, but that's what happens. She would have had basic needs met.
The guy is working and still can't earn enough to afford a place for him and his mother to live.
He's not the guilty one.
We are.
