SCAM ALERT
It is with heavy heart that I am having to share this
with you all..
SCAM ALERT
But we have had an incident in the Heatwave of some male
leaflet distributors in the neighbourhood that have preyed on an elderly widow
in her 80yrs.... they asked her for a cold drink and gained her trust for her
to allow one in the house then he has sexually molested her.... It is a police
case and the local councillor has filed a report to social services.....We are
gathering information and need to reinforce with the elderly that some
characters can prey on their vulnerability.. it is a very sad case as she
reacted out of compassion in the heatwave but really there is no one needing to
go thirsty as we have shops and drinks nearby.....!
It has been an alarming case that I got involved with as
she opened up to the incident with me in a general conversation.
I had called on her to check she was OK after my swim the
other day as I passed her house... always keeping a look out for her......
Please reinforce with elderly relatives to not let anyone
in without legitimate ID.
This case has upset me as she could have been murdered
and for this we have to investigate to find the perpetrator....... and there is
a need for family and social services review as to possible rehousing as the
lady is lonely and wanders in the street to talk with people so is open to
abuse.... so so sad and worrying as to how the elderly can be used abused and
mistreated in this society where even the government have been suggesting we
live too long and a drain on resources.... when in fact we all pay taxes to the
system that is supposed to care for us and protect us.... and we should have a
society that cares and respects the elderly.
Please be on the alert... but in this we must all not
lose our compassion too!
