Chalmette,

I know that if it wasn't for the possible retalliation, your brother would have jumped at doing this at the beginning. It's like being caught between 2 rocks....one you know you want to do because you know it is the right thing to do....on the other hand, what will happen to your career if you do this?

It is sad when that kind of fear exists because knowing that we should be doing the right thing & putting those horrible people away can continue to haunt (sounds like it did with the dreams).

I know when I caught the home care person stealing my Mothers ID & abusing her....I went to the Adult Protective Services as soon as I could....then I was threatened.......unfortunately for me, I have a tendency to flip off threats & went ahead & took it to the police also. Sad thing was that it was for nothing because there they didn't get enough evidence to put her away. I am sure she is still out there hurting more cancer patients. In the back of my mind, it's telling me that some day, I will find the right approach to get her caught....it's just a matter of time cause I know she did it before.....she will do it again.

But in my heart & mind, I knew I had to at least try to bring her to justice no matter what.....but the fear was there. It's a matter of deciding which is worse....& that's a tough call when your career is part of your decision making process.

I am glad he decided to help go after those people....they need to be held accountable for what they did & I am glad your brother has realized that is important enough to take the risk.

He is in my prayers,
Debbie
