How sad a family has to resort to a bear?

Question

This poor old lady was getting robbed by her carer so the family placed a camera inside a teddy bear. Don't you think this is a sad world when we have to resort to big brother tactics to keep our elderly loved ones safe

Answer 1

sad but unfortunately this is the reality of the times we live in.

the elderly, frail, disabled & infirm are easy targets for determined criminals & opportunist thieves, disguised as carers.

better to use all the surveillance equipment available to protect our loved-ones.

sad but true.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I agree with dunrobin. If people got the justice they deserve for this despicable behaviour, hopefully they would think twice about what they should and shouldnt be doing. People who would act like that deserve no sympathy.

Answer 4

My mom used to work in the cafeteria in a nursing home and she said it was pretty normal to have nurses/aids steal from the patients, which is terrible because what little allowance they get each month is ALL they get. It's disgusting that people stoop that low.

Answer 5

It is easy to get paranoid when you think how many secret cameras there are watching our every move , it seems

Answer 6

No mate, it's sad that the law doesn't allow the family to give the carer a good kicking instead of her getting only 6 months of which she will serve less than half.
