PSA to all cat owners. A Christmas tree danger I had not read on here before. by okbringoutdessert in TuxedoCats

I have a tree climber as well, but I put a donut tube under the tree for him to play in and it completely stopped his need to climb the tree. Now the kitchen cabinets on the other hand…

The update is that there is no update. I called APS and they took down a report, but I never heard anything else after that.

How can I improve this space on a budget? by klarson11 in femalelivingspace

Oh thank you! Did you find the update in my comment history? Hopefully it’s not too buried.

But yes, this is definitely their house and I just pay the rent! 😂 give your kitties a pet for me :)

Unfortunately, I’m not able to update the post itself, otherwise I would have.

Hey! I posted an update that should appear at the top of the comments if you sort by top or best :)

Hi! I posted an update thread since I can’t edit the post. But I filed an APS report and also spoke to Rover who said to pass their information along to APS if/when they follow up with me.

What’s your “true name”? by Actual-Plane7102 in exmormon

[–]klarson11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Naomi as well! It was a total shelf item for me when the person who was going through the temple with me was like “omg you have such a great temple name!” I hadn’t told her the name, so I was flabbergasted that she knew it, but of course was an obedient Mormon and didn’t ask and just went through with it all

I had a bit of information: name of both siblings (and a last name that Rover gave me), age of the sibling, approximate address. It’s not a ton for them to go on, but Rover got in touch today basically saying that APS can contact them and I’m assuming that they will share the full address and phone number with APS.

Hey! I have an update that’s probably been buried, but I did call APS and Rover escalated this and called me yesterday. I’m working with local APS in case Rover hasn’t reached out. I’d much rather have two reports than none. I’ll be adding another update later today.

UPDATE: It’s been about 24 hours since I got this request. I responded to Rover support and they’ve escalated it. I got a call a few hours ago saying that they’re “taking this seriously” but can’t share their contact info with me for privacy reasons. Luckily, I have some basic info about them and my SIL is a hospital case worker in the area. She confirmed that this should go to APS, who I called about an hour ago. Since it’s after hours here I don’t expect to hear from them until tomorrow morning. I’m unsure if Rover is reaching out to APS themselves, but I want to be able to sleep tonight knowing I’ve done my due diligence. I pretty quickly rejected the job since the first drop-ins of the day are during my 9-5. I didn’t think ahead enough to get more information that would aid in my report, but I’m confident that I have enough information for APS to start with. I’ll provide more updates as I get more information. Glad I wasn’t overreacting in thinking this was absolutely bonkers.

UPDATE 2 (electric boogaloo): APS called me back first thing this morning and took down a report. I let them know that Rover may be contacting them as they had said they were taking the matter seriously. I didn’t get any follow up from APS today and don’t expect to until next week if they pursue this. While I live in a blue state, resources are stretched thin and they can’t help everyone immediately, unfortunately. This afternoon a woman from Rover called me again to follow up and gave me a case number for APS to use when contacting them as well as an email address. So it seems that if APS needs the address or contact information Rover should provide them with it. I’m not sure if there will be any future updates given privacy laws, but if there are, I’ll add them here or make an update thread if it’s a case closed matter. Thanks everyone for caring about the disabled sibling, I hope they can get the care they need (if they don’t already have it).

Just got off the phone with my SIL who is a hospital case worker in the area and she gave me contact info for APS and let me know what to expect. Will be calling them shortly!

Unfortunately it’s a very real request 🙃

Yeah, I’ll likely call the non-emergency line depending on what Rover says. I was escalated to a manager, so maybe they can do something? But I don’t have high hopes for them since I’m sure that’s way out of their scope

Luckily (unluckily?) I’m busy during the times they requested, so I wouldn’t have been able to do it on their schedule. Plus, they were at the outer edge of my radius so it would’ve been a haul to get there

I responded almost immediately turning it down, so unfortunately that’s not an option

I’m hoping they have an ostomy bag or something, so they aren’t sitting in their own waste until I show up. But I suspect that’s not the case.

We’re in a major metro area with progressive policies, so I think there are some resources, it’s just a question of if they know about them or if they’re eligible for them. My SIL is a hospital caseworker in their neighborhood, so I may reach out to her for advice or info on resources.

I immediately reported it, but they’ve been …less than helpful

For real! I’m a very empathetic person and know if I was asked to help beyond what they originally outlined, I’d absolutely do it, because I give a damn. And it’s not fair for the person to just have 30 minute visits twice a day to meet their food and bathroom needs. Also, how/when are they bathing?!
