   Yes, this has happened more then once at this hospital my
mother worked for.  It was a sick case of family not caring.

Kids wanting to dump mother or dad ...declare or get them 
declared incompetant, and it ggoes from there, and the
province gets tagged fr finding a home.

Seen this with foreign parents brought over to live in the
home, and then it happens.   SICK.

Rob.   You did right, letting them know.   So many keep quiet,
and it went on for a longest time, because of laws, and all
and too many getting sued for this and that, when it should
of been those abusing the system.

They made it a mess, and now they have a mess, with more cuts
sooner or later....or if you can pay.

SICK!    But thats the sad state of humanity....
