Hi. I’m just gonna get straight to the point. My Mom is a total evil bĂtch and has kicked all of us out except my mentally handicapped brother who is 25. He has borderline autism. He gets a disability check each month that she controls to do whatever she wants with it (she doesn’t even ask him what he wants to spend it on.) She doesn’t even encourage him to meet friends. He doesn’t do any groups even for special needs people. He just sits with her in her messy, falling apart trailer all day rocking back and forth out of boredom. When she is mad at someone she’ll manipulate him to hate them too. He already hates me and my other siblings cause she got mad at us for going out and having a life. She spends almost all his money on catfood to feed the feral cats outside (by the way there’s about 40 feral cats if not more living under the trailer.) Not to mention five dogs she has that she lets pee all over the carpet, walls and furniture and doesn’t even clean it up. There’s no working toilets in the trailer so she and my poor brother go poop in bags and toss them in the garbage. There’s no hot water and the bathrooms are all moldy with one of the tubs falling through to the outside floor. There’s big roaches that are overrun in the closets and there’s so much more I could go on and on and on. So is this abuse? Or am I overreacting? What should I do? Who should I report this to if I should?

An infestation of ticks like this one is causing havoc to Russia’s Novosibirsk region. Double the number of bites have been recorded by residents this year compared to last. [Elena Grebenikina, Head of Novosibirsk Medical Vaccination Centre]: “This season we’re seeing a difference in the number of ticks that carry the virus. It’s higher by 20 percent than last year.” A bite could develop into the deadly virus encephalitis, which affects the brain. This particular region of the former Soviet Union has more deadly-cases of tick-borne encephalitis than anywhere else in the world. Despite the risks, many are not vaccinated against the disease. Insurance is relatively cheap providing you’re not infected. [Elena Bogdanova, Novosibirsk Resident]: “We’re not insured. You have to pay for the vaccination with your own money which is very expensive. You need to get insured all the same and not be irresponsible.” Ticks are usually found living in long grass or woodland areas. Health officials advise the best cure is prevention. Anyone planning a visit to the region is strongly encouraged to get themselves vaccinated.
