I work in a retirement home. In truth i love my residents - ok, most of them. I've worked there 4 years. Our housekeeping manager (who was hired 5 years ago) just got arrested for stealing jewelry and cash from our residents to the tune of $34,000. (Thats just the stuff they can prove.) Yesterday we had a meeting with residents to break the news. She had been stealing from them for about 3 years. I expected shock (everyone loved her), anger (I'm pissed and she didnt steal from me!) disbelief perhaps. We got silence. Then a voice in the back of the room said "She really needs our prayers right now." It took everything in my power not to storm out of the room. Prayers for a bitch who stole your heirlooms, who targetted her victims carefully (many of our residents are confused or on the verge of dementia) and then pawned your sentimental items and lined her own pockets??? Prayers? I hope she does jail time. I just wish we still had stocks on the village green.
Around here No nursing home allows cash or jewelry of any kind.....
I do so like the idea of bringing back the stocks and pillory - let the community have a say in justice. -
