HELP! Flat mate missing

**Big Dan** · 17th November 2009, 19:40

My flat mate is missing and hasn't been seen by me since 9:30pm Thursday 12th November. I'm very worried for his safety. His name is Perry F McCarney he is 48 and about 5 feet 7 . He has gone missing from our home in Fairlands ave in Waterview.

If you could spread the word of this to anyone and keep mentioning the name to anyone that you know

I am very concerned for him

Thank you everyone

Dan

have you called the cops?

How long does someone need to be missing before the police will be interested?
Sounds serious? Obviously you have tried mobile #'s etc?

Parts on the case i can't say but i'm spectulating that he could be in some park somewhere (needle in a hay stack thing)

It sounds like you have done everything you can in getting the police involved. Is this out of character for him?

Let me know if there is anything that I can do. I don't know what - but even if you just need to chat. I was the relatively new rider talking with Mr Goff at Colemans (just so you can put a face to the name).

Well the police found him alive in Heron park nearby and he's in a mental clinic now

But what shocks me and angers me is after speaking to the mental clinic they said he'll be home by the weekend. Now this is his third attempt at doing this. I have no faith in the mental health system if all they do is basically patch and dispatch. I was amazed he was home after 3 days of his second attempt.

Who agrees with me that the mental health system needs a shake up if this is what happens

your thoughts please

Pfft!

Often when we take a patient to EPS and drop them off?

They just about beat us back to the Riviera of the South.

Mad to sane in .05 of a second.

Or the other one... Bear in mind, "he" and "she" are referred to here jointly......

"He's not mad, he is bad..."

Which interpreted, means,

"We have no beds availalbe, so he is your problem..."

Hey Dan,

I've just responded to you via PM (actually two because apparently there is a length limit). Hopefully it gives you a little more information. I was reluctant to post here as it doesn't seem fair to Perry to engage in that sort of discussion on an open forum. Having said that, you are welcome to re-post, forward, or share with others what I wrote if you want to. I'll leave that up to you (but consider yourself to have my permission as per the site rules).

Cheers,
P.
