Default Mental Neighbor Sexually Harassing Women 8th & Federal

Have you been bothered by Victor? Have you called 911? I have, more than once. Some people believe he's just a harmless "slow" guy. I hear him talk of hurting people and killing them. He yells at the immigrants who barely speak English since he knows they won't retaliate. Any and almost every woman walking down the street becomes an object of his harassment.
His family moved to NJ and left him alone in the house and he is incapable of taking care of himself. He tends not to take his meds and the neighborhood becomes victim to his delusions. He invites crack whores into his house on a regular basis. He told me he was going to shoot me. He pisses on his sidewalk.
What can be done about this menace?

Ladies, if he harasses you, don't dismiss it, please call the police.

I remember a Victor there ages ago. Was he married to Marie?

I think this guy needs to be moved into a facility that can properly care for him, he obviously is a sickly man who needs to be cared for. Can someone contact his family and inform them that hes not talking his medicine ?

I have so many stories about Victor, I'm not sure where to begin. You never know what you're gonna get when he's coming your way. By now, I wince when I see him and just rush away to get to wherever I'm going. I'll be honest, though, he scared me at first, but I guess I do just assume that he's really hopeless and harmless, so I've never considered calling the police. A man on my street has called the police to report him, actually, after he had repeatedly harassed his wife who operates the little newspaper/magazine stand near Capitolo across from Pat's/Geno's.

I didn't realize he was living alone now. The whole situation is very terribly sad. Do you happen to know when the family moved?

Default 8th and Federal

This Victor is the the son of Victor and Marie.

His family has been repeatedly told he's not taking his meds and admits it. His family also says to call the police on him. It's a shame, they've abandoned him except for one brother checking in on him and giving him cigarrettes, which isn't a great idea since the fire department has been to the house a couple times in recent years because he fell asleep with a cigarette and lit his blankets on fire.

I've not been specifically harrassed by Victor, but I learned about him early on and have always given him a wide berth. Who is paying for his bills?

Perhaps those on PhillyBlog who have social work expertise can advise us. Unfortunately, since the 1980s, the laws supporting involuntary commitment have been greatly weakened, so I guess reporting him for criminal violations is the only way to get him seen by someone in authority.

Default Victor

Please do not confuse the 8th and Federal Victor with my favorite neighbour, the 7th and Federal Victor. Surely many of you know him as well and I would hate for there to be confusion.

What does 8th and Federal Victor look like? What does he do that is harassing so I know?

Thank you!

7th and Federal Victor is about 5'9", receding hairline, and bugged out eyeballs. He hasn't done it to me, but I've heard that he will yell various obscenities at women.
