I Am Dissapointed In Our Society

Saw a sad, sad story on the TV news about a man called Rodger from LA. Rodger suffers with dementia and his wife an son flew him to the UK and abandoned him in a park before flying back home. His dementia was so bad that he didn't know who he was, where he was, where he came from and how he got there. He had no identification or money.

Honestly how can a family do that to a loved one!!!

It took nearly a year but they finally found out what had happened and happily Rodger is back in LA and being cared for.
People are selfish, Meggy. This is a lesson that's slapped around on you every day in life. Luckily there are good hearts in this world, so I'm glad the man is cared for now.

Meg, I saw that story, too... terrible, just terrible! :( It had a happy ending but you had to wonder how many other children have done this to their parents. How many have dumped them out like they do with an unwanted pet?
