FULL TITLE: California city council candidate is caught dropping off his wheelchair-bound mom, 86, so she can PANHANDLE

A candidate for city council in Southern California has been accused of dropping off his elderly, wheelchair-bound mother to panhandle for the last decade, even though they're not homeless.

David Chey has been caught on camera leaving Soon Chey, 86, in her wheelchair in the downtown district of Laguna Beach with a sign that reads, 'please, help me.'

'They have a brand new car, live in a condo in Irvine, yet beg for our help,' local business owner Heidi Miller told DailyMail.com.

'And Adult Protective Services have gone out there and can't do anything, because she says she enjoys begging. He's pretty much brainwashed her.'

DailyMail.com was unable to immediately reach Chey for comment.

He’s an ‘anchor’ baby!!

He should have one tied around his neck and tossed in the Pacific.

Different strokes for different folks. I’m assuming
this isn’t illegal to panhandle for money.

“Anyone know this scumbag?”

Pretty much ALWAYS the case. It’s just another profession. Here in Houston, they’re licensed, regulated, and scheduled (to prevent conflicts like two people at one corner).

Let me put that another way....

Is this scumbag up for re-election this November? Lets make sure he does not get elected if so

Typical Cali-fraud-ian. So, when’s the IRS audit for unreported revenue?

Raise taxes to the hilt and then put mom on the cash income plan. Smarmy.

In downtown Houston, they patrol the bus stops in the afternoon, hitting up mass-transit commuters waiting to go home.

It's their job. Many stories have been written about the professional panhandler, {con artist, grifter, Clinton} all over the USA.

In most countries people just beat (or burn) the professional panhandlers to death {I agree}.

I lived in Irvine for 23 years and never heard of this guy or what his mother does. I looked up his name and he ran for mayor in 2016 but he finished last.

Looks like he lives near UCI. Never saw the mother begging for money. Irvine police tend to harass panhandlers if they loiter for long periods of time.

One of the Sherlock Holmes stories is about a professional panhandler. link

{I agree}.

If there is another case of a homeless person being beaten to death or set on fire, we'll know where to look.

Where does it say you have to be homeless to panhandle?

Yeah but, she has her own wheels and roughly 10 years of practice. They probably all have a network to keep alert for the PoPo. Is there an APP for that?
