Blind man fleeced by his carer (From Worcester News)

It is wrong that this woman stole from a Blind bed ridden man. However where is our just,caring and compassionate society for this woman who has now left 3 children without their mum. I am not saying she didn't do anything wrong but 2 years is harsh when there are worse criminals getting less...I mean Rupert Murdoch is still free and so are all the Bankers that ripped off the whole of society.

Endconreignforever she was a carer for a disabled man, she abused that position to steal from him in a most callous manner. At no time did she ever think of her three children when she was stealing the money so why should she be shown any sympathy from the courts. Some sentences don't make sense but I think that this one was correct. She won't serve the whole two years but at least it sends a message to others who believe ripping off the sick, elderly or disabled are easy targets.

Hello Roger
I know you can`t hear or see me
Knowing you from so many years long ago, it`s unbelievable that you have been taken in this way.
There`s no recompense.

jb , I also feel desperately sorry for Roger, but also I have huge remorse for those three kids who despite their mothers actions have become innocent victims of the real problems.
jb having read your previous postings I am sure that you will be aware of what were previously called Direct payments. This system of payments was pushed at every chance by Adult Services, so that in my opinion, would earn yet another tick in a box for the WCC staff, not the service users. The original 120+ page documents which were turning previous users of the services into Employers, with all the connected responsibilities such as Public Liability insurance, paying holiday pay, Maternity leave, and much much more, in fact keeping accounts books and were so complicated that WCC advised those using the services to approach Penderalls Trust, a company which would help to organise the documentation to such a satisfying level for the acceptance of providing and spending public / Government money. In other words book keeping. This scheme in relations to the numbers of people entitled to assistance related payments was an absolute failure
There is a continuing trend now renamed personalisation, but now those who pass the re-evaluated Higher criteria seem to be firmly directed towards this scheme.
The reported comments from Eddie Clarke (a most honorable man) director of Adult and Community Services on the local Radio saying that they (WCC) were moving towards Privatisation, support my theories that WCC do not want to be service providers, but just want to administer the funding. They (WCC) have outsourced (Sacked) their own care staff, leaving clients now to go to the private sector and having the responsibility of employing their own carers. And can thse needing care afford to have fees for care in the home rise from £12 per hour to £20 per hour, or from £4.60 per day for attending Day Care to rise to £60 per day?
While this may well suit some clients, I don't think that Rogers sad experience will be the last we hear about.
This is the proverbial can of worms that is going to grow.
I only wish elections were closer. Then perhaps the more vulnerable in society being disgracefully treated could show their appreciation to those County Council Cabinet members such as Simon Geraghty, who have just voted these disgracefull cost increases through.
