Her case seems to be a combination of mental illness and economic hardship.

Heaven and Hell help anybody attempting to steal one of my cats.

And here in the US, Republicans want to raise the retirement age because Americans "want to work longer." Yes, American senior citizens want to work at Walmarts, McDonald's, Denny's, Burger King, or Dunkin' Donuts. Why would they want to enjoy their Golden Years with their grandchildren?
