It is such a shame that there is a trend going on about people who are taking advantage on our poor elderly. Just recently, news broke out when a 96 year old man who needs help from a caregiver found himself helping them financially. His credit cards were used  by the caregiver and her daughter to pay for their bills and student loans. Another caregiver also used his very own debit card to pay for gas bills at a nearby gas station.

The caregiver company who provided these employees already terminated them and stated that they also violated company policies. Mr. Oatman on the other hand have learned something valuable that day – never leave your cards in the open. He said that he felt violated and taken advantage of by the people that he entrusted his life and health on. Now, he kept his cards locked up and joked that he would get a bulldog.

I just hope that this trend stops now. Seniors deserve people who will take care of them in their time of need.
