Now, he has expressive/receptive aphasia. He was walking our dog and urinated in what he thought was the woods.He has visual field cuts (no vision in right eye, no peripheral vision and a field cut in his left eye). I explained this to the police. One officer said"well, he could have turned his head to get a look". Our neighbor saw him and called the police. Without speaking with him, police charged him with "open and gross lewdness" and told him he would have to register as a sex offender if convicted. They said all of this OUTSIDE and many neighbors overheard. Now, rumors are spreading that he is a "sex offender:. I apologized to the neighbor and explained his TBI and dementia. She would not listen and banned me from her property. Tomorrow is my brother's hearing. I wrote to the magistrate explaining his severe cognitive decline. I also told the police this. They would not listen. They NEVER spoke with my brother--only to me and my husband. Any advice? He is known as a very gentle and kind soul in our town. The police are not that educated. I appreciate any advice.
You mentioned the TBI but you also mention dementia.
It must be clear to you now that your brother cannot move about his world unaccompanied? Don't you think? What plans have you regarding this, as it will become more and more a problem.
