Ugly is as ugly does. It takes a sociopath to steal from helpless elderly veterans.

Well if I was an ugly guy named “Brittney Heather” I’d probably be like a boy named Sue.

All sarcasm aside, these two are scum.

Disgusting, shameful, trash! I hope they get the maximum and other inmates make their life miserable.

This kind of crap happens in skilled nursing facilities all of the time. When my father went into a SNF I deliberately left a $10 bill in his wallet. I went back the next morning and it was gone. I considered the $10 well spent and moved him to another place.

I just do not understand how people who go into caregiver positions can abuse the trust of their patients so blatantly.

what infuriates me in universal terms is the breach of responsibility. These small tokens are only worth penies in the grand scheme but for these elders they can be a world of memories and links to loved ones. Often it may be the only true physical possession. For those with fading memories, it can be the one and only trigger to a depository of remaining memories.

I can’t think of a punishment to fit this crime.

There is NO spot in hell hot enough for these two. My daughter is an RN who does home based care.... mostly elderly vets and hospice. The idea that someone would breach the trust of the elderly and dying is so offensive as to be beyond any words I can think of

I agree. This story disgusts me beyond belief. I don’t understand how someone could be so removed from conscience— I don’t believe they have a heartbeat. Those selfish, self-centered evil creatures are the walking dead.

Dig out that change jar.
Every little bit helps.

Consider becoming a monthly donor.
It's easy, and with enough participants
we could eliminate FReepathons.

That's a great idea, but be aware that a clever crook might see that as a test and leave the item, but luckily crooks are usually not that clever.

Do Freepers think it's a good idea to visit a relative at a nursing home at random hours as a way to help protect them?

I am so glad that we were able to take turns caring for our mother so that we did not have to put her in a place like that. Also, I hope that I never get put into one.

Mother used to say to us, “If you put me in a nursing home, I’ll come back and haunt you”. She started saying that when she was only in her 50s. Maybe I should start saying that to my (adult) kids.

It is a good idea. My mom was found a couple of times with bruising on her wrists. I realize the elderly bruise more easily, but one time it was excessive. We raised the roof and thankfully it never happened again.

That’s how my family is. We’re very large (10 siblings, not counting extended family) and we don’t do nursing homes. Same with my husband’s family. Every member who has passed was with family until the end, unless it was a hospital situation (ie heart attack).
