The other day, as I flipped through channels, I landed on a show called "Hoarders: Buried Alive." This particular episode was focusing on an elderly woman who literally spends all her time sitting in a pile of stuff in the living room. She eats there, sleeps there, everything. The rest of her house is completely taken over by the clutter.
She was very stubborn about changing her ways; she felt she had a right to keep all of her things. I was shocked when they said that she has been to jail on 5 separate occasions because of health hazard and fire code violations. They were threatening her with another lockup to try and get her to change. What world do we live in where we lock someone up because of hoarding?
