Officers On A Welfare Check Relieved To Discover Elderly Woman Playing Video Game
We all have our vices, spending our free time totally engrossed in fun that we forget the world around us. Being elderly doesn’t make anyone immune to those activities, either. Case in point, a 91-year-old Westlake, Ohio resident. When she didn’t answer any of her calls throughout the day, including her daily check-in, a welfare check was requested. It turns out, one of her newfound obsessions, a game on her phone, was distracting her. Police were relieved when they caught the 91-year-old woman playing a video game on her phone. The concern began on April 9th, when the Westlake resident did not answer her daily check-in phone call, which was programmed through an automated system designed to send daily calls to vulnerable residents. The system alerted a dispatcher, who also could not reach the woman. After contacting her daughter, who claimed that her mom should be home, the dispatcher sent police to her residence to conduct a welfare check. However, the police found a similar result when knocking on her door: no answer. SHVETS production | Pexels …
