Mentally ill woman flees her parents’ home

May 28, 2015 News

“Police never responded to alert”- mother 
A 24-year-old mentally challenged, Seon Nelson, of La Harmonie West Bank Demerara, has disappeared with both of her children ages four and two, after breaking down and burning the items in her home on Monday.
It is alleged that sometime last week, the woman had a psychotic break in which she started to burn the items in her home, eventually breaking down the entire house on Monday before disappearing.
It was suspected that Seon stole a boat from a neighbour and paddled it across the Demerara River, to Supply, East Bank of Demerara, with the two young children inside. That was the last time she was seen.
Her mother, Maureen Nelson, said that her daughter is mentally ill and has frequent episodes every two to three weeks. Prior to this one, the latest was last month in which she spent only a few days in the hospital.
According to Mrs. Nelson during her daughter’s latest visit to the clinic she escaped from the hands of her doctor, Dr. Bhairo Harry, because she didn’t want to take the medication they were providing.
“I call the police and they say they are going to come but they didn’t come…The police ain’t doing anything. If they had come she would’ve been in the hospital and my grandchildren would be home safe,” a very emotional Maureen said.
She also noted, “Seon does usually trip out because she doesn’t take her medication… I don’t know where she is. I’m worried about my grandchildren; I raise them from one day old, now I don’t know if they’re ok, if they eat, if they’re alive. I’m really afraid because my daughter mad.”
The matter was reported to the Wales Police Station where there seemed to be some miscommunication between the police and the relatives of the missing woman. The policeman who took the initial report said, “We were informed that the woman was found somewhere in town”.
However, when this publication contacted the father of the missing woman, he said that she wasn’t found but that someone had said they saw her in town. But she was never located.
Her mother is now pleading with authorities to institutionalise the young woman as soon as she is found, so she can get full treatment because of her frequent episodes that have taken some dangerous turns.
She is described as “a short and average built woman, dark in complexion and very beautiful.”
Seon Nelson was last seen wearing a red, white and black top and three-quarter pants and blue slippers. Her two-year-old daughter was last seen wearing a blue top and a denim skirt. Her four-year-old son, Antonio, was last seen in a yellow shirt and black trunks with a red weather boots.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Seon Nelson is asked to contact the Wales Police Station on 592-267-2804 or the nearest police station.
