Dear Reader
Elderly abuse is at the heart of a serious court case today.
The aggravated assault on an at the time 80 year old elderly lady last year October resulting in the loss of her right eye is shocking.
We will be reporting on this case as we have made a pledge to also highlight and bring attention to elderly abuse here on our island.
Just like we bring to light the fact that political immaturity seems not to be a part of our constitution, civility and respect for one another, especially for our elders, do not seem to be a part of our DNA any more. When we did lose our humanity?
The official police report about the case can be read online by clicking on the link below:
"Female arrested for ill-treatment"
Obviously this short report does not tell the complete story. The photos and the report we have seen speak of a whole different magnitude of violence perpetrated for which there can be no excuse, no matter the cause or explanation.
The good news is that people who know of elderly abuse and are afraid to come forward to talk about this, especially to the media, can be assured that as of October 2018, your rights to remain anonymous and be
protected by journalists as a source is now legally regulated in the Dutch Kingdom, at least in The Netherlands, to which appeal can be made for jurisprudence in our part of the Kingdom.
Read the news below for further details....
Best regards,
Terrance Rey
