2 village idiots in one family.
Hmm, hope not to read years from now that they found something unsavory buried under their house.
I don't think they are dangerous or idiots, just mentally ill and left on their own. They look happy as they are always smiling if someone looks at them although who knows what's behind the facade. One of them hangs about on a particular street corner most afternoons. I think he's waiting for the dead mother to return from the bus stop. The other one wanders around aimlessly talking to himself.
I've heard that with a propensity to mental illness, isolation can lead to a kind of "infection" of mental illness from one person to another. Possibly one became mentally ill, then the other went as well, and their mother had previously kept them both under control. From what I heard, this kind of thing can manifest in people hoarding stuff - it's about not wanting to lose things and avoiding a sense of loss, i.e. like the mother. They are not homeless but where they live, no idea. But I can imagine a real dump piled up with old bits of everything.
They really need scrubbing up and a total makeover. But without supervision, they'd definitely revert. They need to be supervised and to take their medication.
