A mother and daughter in Fujian starved to death at home for many days. What happened?

It happened on August 26th, 2020. At that time, an 80-year-old mother and a 46-year-old daughter, both suffering from mental illness, were found to have starved to death at home. The reason why I think things are strange is that before this, this kind of thing happened suddenly, because the mother and daughter with mental illness were sent food by relatives and friends, so it was incredible to many people.

Afterwards, the reporter learned that the reason why both mother and daughter starved to death at home was probably suspected in two aspects. 1 is suspected that the fixed relatives who are responsible for delivering meals to the mother and daughter have not implemented the process of delivering meals for a period of time. In short, mother and daughter starve to death because relatives don't send them meals; The second doubt is: according to relatives, relatives have been delivering meals, but every time they deliver meals, they just deliver them to the door. My daughter starved to death at home without getting her meal.

(1) Should the person who delivers the food bear the responsibility? For those who deliver food and vegetables, we need to find out whether the "food delivery person" who has been responsible for delivering food to mentally ill mothers and daughters for a long time has fulfilled an obligation, or a promise. If there is an employment relationship, then I think the death of the mother and daughter can actually hold the delivery person responsible. This is on the premise of employment relationship, taking other people's money, naturally we should try our best to do good things for others.

Moreover, since the whole incident has been identified as "the person who delivered the meal is a relative of the starving mother and daughter", it is probably not an obligation, but a sense of relatives and friends. Empresses in the Palace once said: "It is a duty to choose to help you, not to help you." As relatives of mentally ill mothers and daughters, do you have the obligation to deliver meals and vegetables to them on time and point by point every day?

If the relatives and friends who deliver food are absent, will other relatives and friends be more willing to take the responsibility of delivering food to the mother and daughter? What we all need to know is that the mother and daughter are starving. My mother is over 80 years old and my daughter is nearly 500 years old. Therefore, we must consider: if the person who regularly delivers meals is gone, who will inherit the love and responsibility of delivering food?

(2) The mother and daughter with severe mental illness are said to have starved to death: they went through such a process before no one gave them food. My mother is over 80 years old and has been suffering from mental illness for many years. Before that, the daughter of the mentally ill mother, when she was slightly mentally ill, had been waiting for her all day and took care of her mother in every possible way. But when mental illness first spread to her daughter, ...

My daughter has finally fallen to the same level as her mother. Living together, they can only be miserable and interdependent. Both of them suffer from mental illness. When the daughter's illness is mild, she can also take care of her mother who can't take care of herself. But when her daughter's mental illness spreads, her daughter can't take care of herself. Under this premise, mother and daughter can only live hard. Because the mental illness is too serious, mother and daughter really don't know what guarantee there will be tomorrow!

"Relatives send meals and vegetables" is true. For a long time after the incident, the local people had their own views on it: because the epidemic was so serious in the first half of 2020, the relatives who were responsible for delivering meals to the mother and daughter at that time were afraid of being infected with the epidemic, so they sent the meals to the mother and daughter's doorstep. It's good not to give the meal to the mother and daughter in person. Although the mother and daughter are mentally ill, they can still recognize food.

Therefore, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, it is not wrong for relatives to send meals to the mother and daughter's door. After all, that's not why mother and daughter died.

(3) The root of mother and daughter's hunger: Is it mental illness or human nature? If the relatives who deliver the food. Food can be placed in front of the mother and daughter's door continuously and fixedly, and then the mother and daughter can recognize the food and move freely. Nature will not end in hunger. After all, before this, for a long time, relatives sent meals to their homes, and then mother and daughter came to their homes to get food to make a living. Even so, the mother and daughter can still have enough food and clothing, so it is not a problem to survive.

But the mother and daughter starved to death because the behavior and attitude of the relative who later delivered the meal changed. I left it at the door before. Since then, I haven't delivered meals to my mother and daughter for some time. What everyone didn't expect was that it was precisely because my relatives didn't deliver meals that they eventually starved to death at home. It is said that the mother and daughter starved to death at home for several days before being discovered by neighbors because they smelled bad.

This is probably the whole process of this incident. Have you found an unusual social phenomenon from this incident? Mother and daughter suffer from mental illness, which is really the main reason for their hunger; But from another point of view, aren't the relatives who deliver meals responsible? It can be said that delivering meals is not an obligation, but a mutual affection. Since it is not a duty, there is no need to force, fix and regularly deliver meals to both of them.

As a relative, I should know something about the mother and daughter. I haven't sent meals or vegetables for so many days, and I haven't seen my mother and daughter go out begging. There is no news, I really don't know what the relatives who deliver the food are thinking.
