How Can Anyone DO This?

wow

I didn't watch the video, the description you gave was enough to let me know that it's sad and horrible.

I have 2 theories to offer........either they are just dark human souls given over to evil because that's what they have chosen........or they aren't human at all, they are the spirits of the nephilim inhabiting human bodies.

I don't know which one is true, but one of them is.

Sad.

It's beyond comprehension Nines.

The evil in this world is rampant.

I pray for the victim.

"The victim, Vera Gossett, has a severe form of autism and can't speak. Her mother, Jacqueline Gosset, has mobility issues and decided to move her daughter into the group home seven years ago. She said she trusted the home until she saw the cellphone video, which contains graphic content."

The woman who beat her allegedly told the person filming that, 'Well this is the way you have to handle her, she's an animal, you have to handle her and deal with her like this.'

The victim allegedly has a mental ability of a 3 yr. old child.

Wish I hadn't watched it Lisa. Going to hear her cries echoing through my mind all night.

Wow, just horrible. I am a hospice nurse and take much pride in lovingly helping those exiting this earth with kindness and gentle loving compassion.

I didn't watch the vid but I want to know how someone like this got the job in the first place.

Convalescent homes are to make money.

Period.

If you have family in care make sure you visit as often as possible (every day if you can), ask questions, make friend with their caregivers.

An elderly family member of mine was in rehab for several months. The people that were taking care of her seemed like sweet kids.

Unfortunately not everyone in the world is nice.

I think businesses like this need to take accountability or do something else for money.

It takes a certain kind of nurturing person to take care of people they don't know.

This made me feel ill. To treat another person like this is unbelievable, to have it be a person with special needs makes it worse.

I'm sorry, I know how that feels. I've seen alot of terrible things in my life, hard to forget things.

Soon, all this evil will be gone, no more suffering and the Lord will restore all things.

Soon.

Didn't/can't watch...sounds too upsetting but I believe there is a special place in hell for people who treat others in such a way.

To me, compassion for others is one of the most important things in life. Sounds like this "person" has none.

Yes it is, Tuko. Thank you for your comments and for the prayers for the victim. The home has been closed and the residents moved to a "hopefully" safe place now.

It's a very admirable thing to take pride in lovingly helping others. Thank you for being kind.

its a big black you know what

it figures..

It does take a certain kind of person to do a good job. One that can put compassion and caring ahead of the money. Bless you for watching out for your family member in rehab. Hard to believe people are capable of treating someone so poorly.

In my state, to work with mentally or developmentally disabled, most places requires a background check, fingerprints, and a clean record. Any incident of abuse, neglect, or violating any standards will make sure you don't work with them again. Whether or not it would have helped in this case, we may never know.

The owner is "licensed by the state to care for developmentally disabled and mentally ill residents."

It doesn't sound like it's a first time event. They've allegedly been cited "numerous" times for repeat violations.

I hope she's never again put in a position to care for any living creature, whether human or animal.

Wow


Don't feel good now


Aweful

My guess is that the care-giver has zero training for dealing with any kind of mental illness, let alone severe autism. For an untrained individual, it would be extremely frustrating, and certainly could provoke anger.

It takes training and a special kind of person to maintain patience in such a scenario. And even many of those people eventually burn out from the emotional drain.

We used to put these people in large sanitariums. That system had many failings. Now we outsource it, and that system is also vulnerable to abuse.

Very sad what happens to the least among us.

Me too, SO. Had to take a long walk, then wash kitchen cupboards. Better than sitting and crying.

It would have been horrid to lose her temper and make one hit. Too continue, on and on, with her cringing and crying takes it to a level that's hard to define. Someone not able to tell anyone, no way to get help, just cowering, not understanding, and being hit over and over. Stomach churning and heartbreaking.

Hospice - thank you for your quality of training, and most of all the warm hearts of love. I have seen hospice in action. The best -

Question for the hospice nurse.

First of all... Thank you! It takes a special person to be able to do what you do.

Now for the question.

I Know you definitely have never and will never do this BUT I've spoken to other hospice nurses and they've told me that it is fairly common.

Have you ever heard of a nurse telling the patient in pain, OK Mr. Smith, This is your morphine drip. If you're experiencing any pain just press this button once... Only once Mr. Smith because if you press it 20 - 30 times you'll drift to sleep and die, permanently ending all of your pain.

I know I'm making it sound like a joke but it isn't.
