Most of the homeless around Dayton are indeed mentally ill. The mental illness is usually compounded by substance abuse. It's a very tricky situation and very sad, Esp. with the freezing cold and ice everywhere. A homeless woman with a five year-old boy begged the security guard at the downtown library branch to take her kid home with him the other (freezing) night. Gads. I've got it so good--how dare I bitch about anything?
