This young bitch, if found guilty, I reckon that she won't spend a day in prison, won't have to repay any of her ill gotten gains & receives nothing but a slap on the back of her hand for being a naughty girl.

There'd be no way she could repay the monies, because she'd have absolutely ZILCH in any form of monetary or other value assests to lodge a claim against.

An ex husbands grandmother would always offer me money for fuel to pick up a few things from the shops for er, i could never take it, yet her flesh and blood grandkids always put their hand out for the dollars. I guess i was bought up differently, whereby, you help those that are vulnerable rather than take advantage of them. It seems to me that people today are out for themselves and bugger everyone else. It's a sad world that we now live in, but if i can keep my principles on track, then i'm happy.

Not of this country, like the large majority of aged care and disability support workers.

If you consider the above comment racist, take a LONG look at the current personnel of such health care organisations.

Bank details like that should not be sitting in their aged care residences for these carers to get their hands on. Need much tighter control in fact it's just a disaster waiting to happen on a much wider scale in my opinion. It's a very sad world when everyone preys on the vulnerable and those that cannot protect themselves. They need to throw the book at her to prevent others doing the same.

In aged care facilities vulnerable residents usually have their bank details and cards, money, items held in a safe.
Also, family members have been found by other family members to take advantage of loved ones.
The other consideration for our elderly is homecare situations where elderly resident give cards to homecare staff to duck to the shop.
My elderly neighbor had been doing this and telling me it was ok; she had the receipt. I pointed out that she only had the receipt for requested purchases, not anything else that may have been spent.
I have convinced her to give a small amount of cash (for on supermarket items) or we do click and collect online for carer to pick up.

If you are not scrupulously honest, it is certainly rife for abuse that is for sure and a sad state if affairs.

 

[jsan]

This type of abuse has been going on for years I remember there was an aged care home at Sandgate in Brisbane ( maybe still there) and it was found that some of the abuse was horrific. From memory the state government got involved ( and may have been state run) I just can’t remember all of the details I think I was in my mid twenties which is more then 50 years ago What humans do to each other is some times is unbelievable I fear for my wife and I if we ever have to go into a home. I have asked my children not to put us in a home

 

[goatwhisperer]

I personally know someone who first of all groomed and worked their way into the affections of an elderly bachelor relative. Then got access to his cash card and skimmed at least $30,000 from him. And they got away with it!! Disgusting..

 

[thomas]

happens all the time everywhere, we have (are) experienced it from my partner's own son who is POWER OF ATTORNEY and POWER OF GUARDIANSHIP although we seldom see him, over $9,000 he has taken out of her account for one thing or another, $9,000 in one hit, and when questioned about it he tells me I am a sneaky Bastard and gets "hot under the collar".
I have tried to get assistance but it is such a "rigmarole" and although my partner says she wants to take him off POW etc, when it comes to it she backs down.

 

[Aralia]

Expose them. Name the thieves
Those thieves should be made to pay back the money & jail time imposed. A slap on the hand & apologies is just not good enough. What else have they stolen whilst in the people's homes. They won't stop at money. Jail time to teach them a lesson. If they are in Australia on a visa they need to be sent back to where they come from.

Yes it is so unfair. It’s got to where we can’t trust anybody nowadays. I hope they do make her repay those poor people. It’s disgusting.

 

[Coralea]

It’s absolutely disgusting how we can’t trust anybody nowadays. People are getting scammed ripped off by family friends support workers workers everyone such a sad world we live in now. A pity what’s ahead for our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren.

They want this to have sharia law? lets start here and chop here hand off and not the she wipes her arse with?

Chop off both hands and be done with it.

Problem solved!

This is clear and simple elder abuse.

I'm a racist too matey, so no worries. We defend our homeland against these thieving cultures that come here with hand exposed and still rip us off. I can think of an ancient culture right here that does that too. But our problem is appeasers, who allow this to happen. And there are a couple of them right here on SDC. It must make them feel so warm and smug while letting the country down.

Some of them need their dicks cut off too. Just'sayin.

Yep....deport. No excuses.

 

[RobbyNotTheRobot]

As some have pointed out here that is has been going on for a long time.
I will add that this has been going on for a long time from the Nursing Home Companies themselves overcharging and now NDIS Service providers overcharging all the way down to individuals like this young woman who really is a scapegoat distraction an easy target to what I just mentioned.
