INTERNET: Youtube Finds NEWS

Elderly Filipina Abused By A Caregiver

Saturday, October 09, 2010Traveliztera

screencap of the vid via youtube.com

I've seen one video last month which showed another caregiver abusing an elderly via my friend Ross and that was totally heartbreaking. This time, I found a video report via Youtube.com which shows a Filipino elderly (91 years old and has Alzheimer's disease) being abused by a trusted caregiver, a person who has served her for around 11 years.

The family had set up a webcam to be able to check on their grandmother, but when bruises started to show up, they decided to record the scenes captured by this camera. They ended up with a shocking revelation which you are about to see in this video:



I am speechless. I'm thankful that this was discovered right away and that justice has been served. But seriously, I am completely ... Well, words are not enough to describe how I am totally feeling right now. 

I shall pray for the family and the grandmother's health.

  4. She should get the same treatment when she gets old. If I were her caregiver, I'll spoonfeed her with shit.

  23. I feel the same whenever I saw something like that!

    Nakita mo na rin ba ung video na minamaltrato ng yaya ung alaga nyang bata? I just can't imagine na may nageexist pala na ganung klase ng tao. Heartbreaking is an understatement.

    God Bless lola!

  30. This is truly heartbreaking. WHERE IS THE "CARE" IN THE SO-CALLED CAREGIVER?! :( Imagine how defenseless the lola was and to think that the family hired the caregiver to be the one to give care to the lola. I hope and pray that incidents like this will never happen again. :(
