Who's going to take care of you when you're old? Part 2,897

Here's another story of elder abuse:

When emergency crews entered Barbara Lewis-Brown's apartment in response to a medical call Sunday morning, they found the elderly woman almost dead — severely malnourished and covered in feces and maggots, her flesh beginning to merge with the couch. Her bedsores had "flies living inside them" and the smell of urine overwhelmed detectives before they had even walked inside the apartment, Baton Rouge police spokesman Sgt. L'Jean McKneely Jr. said at a news conference Tuesday discussing the arrests of her granddaughters. Lewis-Brown, 77, died a short time later at the hospital from infected Stage 4 bedsores, malnourishment and dehydration, an autopsy found.

Nothing says family like bedsores and maggots! But we're the selfish ones.

Unfortunately, the link doesn't take me directly to the article. I didn't read it, but I do believe this is possible. It's sad and disgusting. I hope those grandkids are charged with elder abuse and neglect, and have to pay a price for it.

Nobody deserves to die like that. Nobody.
