The National Office for Seniors & Age Concern is a farce! The people that work there are so busy trying to get into your business instead of dealing with the situation as it is being reported. I believe my mother suffered more than she had to because they did nothing to assist us.
I hope this lady can get some help and I really hipe there is someone else looking out for her mother.

Clearly this woman has problems but isn’t this a classic case of elder abuse? How vulnerable is her mother and what steps are being taken to protect the mother now her daughter has had her bail reduced and is free to go? What is the National Office for Seniors doing about this? Continued slaps on the wrist for elder abuse just perpetrate the view that it’s OK to steal from old people.

Sad situation you are completely correct, however cancer has a point despite its irrelevence to the story at hand. PLP has in fact ruined out little island and they need to go.

Sad Situation I agree with your last paragraph in that we have to deal with this type of case with more than the law book in hand.
In regard to the first paragraph and that of Cancer, I guess we cannot believe how anyone could give this sort of reply in such a case…but I do believe that alot of replies are submitted to ‘start up’ conversation on other matters.

@ Cancer: you represent a growing number of people who are using this forum to express foolish sentiment. I now dread reading the comments on bernews due to the amount of foolhearted comments that appear daily.

Your comments have no relevance to the featured story… SMDH

The featured story is sad for a myriad of reasons. The lady who appeared in Court is mentally ill (on her on admission) and her crime though wrong, could be mitigated by her mental illness. There should be a mental health Court to deal with convicted persons with mental illnesses. I hope that the reports that the Court ordered assist in getting the Convicted woman the help that she needs.

Run the PLP out of town and let the OBA takeover. Tourist would come here then.
