Siblings Abuse and Neglect Mother and Get Jail Time
As parent’s age they end up having to depend on their children for their care and to have their best interests at heart. In some cases the family that you expect to care for you end up hurting you the most. Two brothers and a sister in Aurora, IL have been convicted of criminal abuse and neglect of their mother, which is a felony that is punishable for up to 10 years in prison
Their bail was set at $250,000. The three siblings were in charge of taking care of their 77-year-old mother. The siblings failed to ensure that their mother was bathed or fed properly and did not make sure thather health was taken care of. Senior Services became aware of the neglect when the mother was brought to the hospital for a three-inch deep wound in the victim’s tailbone that was black, red, and blue in color. Her leg was also black from gangrene and had to be amputated. The mother has since been appointed a private guardian. The siblings had police records prior to their arrests. The judge has ordered them to have no contact with their mother while they are serving time.
Unfortunately so many elder abuse cases go unreported. It is important to report any case of abuse or suspicion if you notice that something is not right with the care of an elderly individual. No one deserves to undergo this type of abuse from a loved one. Please report the abuse before it is too late and a life is lost. If you or a loved one has been physically and emotionally abused, then contacting a professional may be in the best interest of being these people to justice.
