Relatives accused of abandoning Calif. man with dementia in UK parking lot
Fox news ^ | January 30, 2017

An American man with dementia allegedly was flown to Britain and dumped in a parking lot by his own family, according to U.S. court documents.

Police spent months trying to work out who he was, despite contacting local care homes, hospitals and even international embassies.

According to tonight’s BBC Panorama investigation, court papers filed in LA state: “In late 2015 Mr Curry was taken surreptitiously to England by his wife Mary Curry and his son Kevin Curry and abandoned there.”

Curry appeared to have been cared for and was found wearing new clothes.

He lived in a care home run by Herefordshire Council for months but was identified after a viewer responded to a police appeal on BBC Midlands last March.

Debbie Cocker found an old picture from a 1958 yearbook for Edmonds High School in Washington State which appeared to show Curry in his younger days, as reported in the Daily Mail.

I guess that is as good a way as any to show that you don’t believe in God.

OMG. What a scheme. I hope the U.K. bills the family for his care. Sounds like the relatives didn’t want to deplete all the assets for nursing home bills.

I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the family are strong leftards.

Despite all of their talk about compassion they tend to be soulless ghouls.

Sick people. Their dementia is on par with the father’s only it infects their hearts and souls instead of their minds.

I recall a story my grandmother used to tell. It seems she noticed an old woman standing on the sidewalk outside her house in Richmond, Va. Later, she was still standing there. Nana went out and asked her what she was waiting for. The woman replied that her relatives had dropped her off, and told her to wait for them to come back for her. Nana invited her to wait on her porch and have a seat. She brought the old lady, who was quite well dressed, but appeared a bit confused, a cup of tea. As night fell, the lady was still there. Nana invited her inside to spend the night (in the end to stay with my family for some time). She also started asking around to find out any information about this strange incident.

It turned out, the lady was a wealthy widow, somewhat down on her luck. She had been living with her daughter and son-in-law. She was getting senile, and her relatives appeared to have gotten tired of taking care of her; or perhaps they were running out of resources rather than patience. In any event, they took her out to my Grandmother's neighborhood and abandoned her. Nana took her in, and provided her with room and board until this situation could be resolved. The lady had no money (that she had access to), and repaid my family's kindness by giving us some antiques she owned. Which explained why Nana owned some early 19th Century French ceramics.

My father recently passed away. Used to be a very successful attorney in Chicago. My sister and I spent a lot of money to get him good care in his later years.

He did everything for us...It is only right to do everything you can to make your parents comfortable in their last years.

God Bless your Nana.

She will, or has been, looked kindly upon by the Lord.

Same here. Dad passed from it one year ago. Mom has it now. I’m caring for her. They gave us everything. They weren’t
perfect. But they sacrificed for us. And they didn’t ask for this to happen to them. They still need to be safe and feel loved.

Exactly. When I visited my dad, there was one man who spent every day with his wife who had Alzheimer’s. I was with my daughter New Year’s Eve and I was chatting with him and I said,I bet this is not how you wanted to spend your retirement.

He said, no, we were going to travel. But he came every day and spent all day long with her. But there were other patients who had no one to visit them. Or they just didn’t want to. It was heartbreaking.

One lady kept touching part of my purse, a metal circle that attachs the straps to my purse. She kept saying “marriage ring” ... I asked her, are you looking for your wedding ring? And she whispered, yes.

It was so sad. And she had no one who visits her.

Got to take care of your parents in the last days. They took care of you when you were helpless.

God bless you, Yaelle.

Thanks, Proud. My mom just lost her husband last March and she doesn’t have her ring any more. We think when she was forgetful but still on her own and driving, four or five years ago, she took it to get it fixed or something. That is where she thinks it is, getting fixed. Well, after that, she left town for four years. She may have only left her home phone number, a number that doesn’t exist any more. The jewelry place may have called for a few years and given up. Not their fault.

I visited someone at a nursing home. Most of them had no one visiting them.

The nurse told me that there was one particular lady who arrived there more than a year ago. Her son took took her there one afternoon. He said he’d come back that night to have dinner with her. He never came there again.
