Residents of South Los Angeles, including 92-year-old Mabel Bush, have experienced prolonged disruptions to their landline services due to copper wire theft. Shonte Dudley, Bush's daughter, expressed concern over the impact this has on her mother's life alert service and family communication. Although service was restored after intervention from the media, Dudley fears the issue will reoccur. Many neighbors face similar issues, highlighting a widespread problem affecting safety and communication. Local residents are struggling with unreliable landline service, and the community is seeking more permanent solutions to curb the thefts.
"Its been on again, off again. If the phone and cameras are down, we have no way to communicate with Mommy. We have had this problem before, but it was never this long."
"My mom's neighbor who lives across the street, her phone was out too. I have several people from my church that are in Compton and South Los Angeles with their phones out."
