ALIEF, Texas – The state is investigating an Alief group home after a man claimed their sister was locked out and put out in the rain over the weekend.
"I got a call Sunday from a police officer saying he found my sister overnight in the rain in her hospital gown," Michael Little said.
Michael Little's sister, 51-year-old Quenta Little, is schizophrenic and had been living at Angel Personal Care group home for about a month.
But Sunday she ended up 23 miles away in Northwest Harris County.
Michael Little said he was stunned by what the owner told him happened.
"She admitted that she had been put out the home, locked out in the rain," Michael Little said.
The house manager told Channel 2 that's not what happened.
"She gets in that state of mind you can't hold her, she'll break out of doors, windows and she fights, and we're not allowed to restrain anyone," Anthony Arthur said. "She could have come in at any given moment but she went on, she's a drifter and when she goes into those rages, she's gonna go."
Michael Little said his sister has never wandered away before.
He's just grateful to the officer who found her.
"I really think you saved her life, I appreciate that," Michael Little said.
He has moved his sister to another facility. Adult Protective Services is now investigating.
