WEIRD night for my mum 🧵
Old woman knocks on her door, says she’s 72 and homeless and has traveled to County Durham today from London using her “bus pass”
Mum calls the police for assistance and gets help from next door
Police arrive but she’ll only get in the car with my mum
Police’s main priority is to find somewhere for her to stay for the night until they can establish things further
She’s very, very vulnerable
She doesn’t know her date of birth and has no ID on her. She’s given her name but it’s super generic.
She has a southern accent
