They defecate, they urinate, they mess with the tenants, they break in, they make a mess out of the garbage cans. It costs us 1000s of dollars every month.”</p><p>Child says he frequently reports the activity and trespassing to LVMPD, but officers can only do so much, and it continues to be a frustrating cycle.</p><p>“They don't want help, and when the officers come out and they ask them for help, they deny the help,” Child said. “And, if we have them arrested, they get thrown in jail. They call it trespass off of property, and the judges let them out, and that's the biggest problem we have - is the judges not keeping them in jail and doing a court intervention.”</p><div style="position:relative;width:100%; height:0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe allowfullscreen src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BACuadfhEiA?enablejsapi=1&version=3&playerapiid=ytplayer" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; height:100%;top:0; left:0; position:absolute"></iframe></div><p>The problem is also creeping into his residential neighborhood a few miles away, where a picture was recently posted on Instagram depicting a man cooking on an open fire along a sidewalk in the Valley West Seven subdivision.</p><p>Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom says he’s aware of the ongoing issues, and has been working with LVMPD and the City of Las Vegas to find solutions. “First, we want to be sympathetic,” he said, adding, the county is trying to solve problems by changing laws, adding teams of social workers, and giving the homeless with drug addictions a place to turn.</p><p>“Now, we have the campus for hope, which is being built right now.
