It beats me how the sick in mind manage to find their way to look after the frail and infirm. What is happening to our society? How is it that people go into a line of work with the expressed aim to abuse those in their care for their own gratification. They pray on those who can't fight back but the thing is they do fight back. They display behaviours that is saying something is wrong.
I know the number of people abused is small but it should never happen at all. Every person has a right to life and the right to be cared for with dignity and respect. When cases hit the news media, I become really angry. Many people are out promoting the good work that aged care facilities do and along comes some bad apples the spoil the whole crop!!
How can we prevent this from happening?
Fact is it is almost impossible. A Police check is done on each person (or should be done) but these take forever to come back. Meanwhile a person with a history of abuse has been employed. What else can an employer do? Often these people present very well. They are smart predators and know just what to say.
For me, I just feel really sad that people have so little regard for others that they can even think to cause harm to others.
