There are still a few people you can depend on, and trust---but it can take a very long time to be certain of people's intentions, and what is the soundness of their true moral compasses.

Elder abuse is very real, and a horrifying crime, to my thinking. There are days I am actually grateful I did not have children, because I've seen firsthand what people are capable of. And it's always the ones who claim to "love you" the most, who attempt such things.

I have not heard any more about this particular case, or any follow up to this story.
