My question involves business law in the state of: INDIANA
Not sure if I am posting in the correct forum. Please direct me elsewhere if I am in error. Thank you.
(INDIANA) Presentable yet potentially dangerous woman is homeless. She has a history of paranoid schizophrenia with mixed delusional disorder. She is currently not on medication. Homeless shelter is dirty and unappealing; she has no privacy and must maintain a schedule. To circumvent the system, she invents a history of physical abuse so she can apply to domestic abuse shelter; much nicer/fewer restrictions/privacy/two year solution. All expenses except cellular phone are paid including toiletries, food, etc. Woman participates in video created by the organization and tells her fabricated story. Video is shown to donors at fundraising event to solicit donations. After event, the video is placed on organization's public website. The organization (presumably) does no due diligence to verify her story; even worse, her lies are perpetuated publicly to solicit donations and by appearing on the website, are endorsed by the organization. Organization is likely not aware. This is a $5,000,000+ non-profit organization. It is considered to be reputable. Donors for this organization include local and national companies as well as well-known (generally local) public figures. Do not want to create problems for the organization, but she is a potential threat to herself and others. Should the organization be told? If yes, by whom? Should the paid director of the center be contacted or the president of the (non-profit) board of directors?
