Some good news!

Some time ago I wrote an article about a 76-year-old American gentleman who had been abandoned by his family here in England. The horrible family, his wife and son, brought him over to England and with the help of an accomplice dumped him here. They bought him some cheap clothing from a supermarket and dumped him at a bus station. The accomplice took him to the hospital and told them he had found him lying down and thought that he was ill. The mans dementia was very advanced and he was unable to answer any questions about himself. Meanwhile, his wife and son flew off for a three week holiday around Europe before returning to Los Angeles. There was no option but to place him in a nursing home while the police tried to locate his family and find out more about him. One day he did say his name so now the police had something to go on. They put a programme on the BBC someone recognised him from an old school photo and the police contacted interpol and eventually his family were traced to Los Angeles howeve they did not want him back. They did not want to pay for his care. The man was repatriated to Los Angeles and is living in a nursing home there. The accomplice in the UK has had his day in court today and happily he has been jailed for 2 and a half years for the part he played in this plot. I do not know if the authorities in the USA have persued his family and charged them with abandonment. I do so hope that they have ended up in prison too. What a wicked evil way to treat another human being let alone your husband/father. I hope they are sent to Jail for a very long time. This is absolutely no way to treat a person with dementia.
