Old people often cherish their independence and insist on making decisions for themselves. A lot of them would really resent their children dictating how they should live.
I would refrain from assuming what the children may have wanted, and what their mother refused.

Yep, I know this first hand.
Most of the older people in this rural area work/own businesses-even the disabled ones-and are very capable of doing for themselves. They would remove any relative from their property at gunpoint who tried to dictate to them about care or anything else, telling them to mind their own f’ing business or they are no longer welcome-I know 3 neighbors who have done just that-I’d do it, too.
That nonsense about all old people needing to be in a living center, needing meds to survive and under surveillance 24/7 is just that-nonsense. More old people eat a healthy diet, work and avoid drugs now more than a few decades ago-and it works for us...
It seems strange to me that Samantha Guthrie didn’t harp on her mom being barely able to walk, dependent on meds, blah, blah before a few days went by-the mom was missed when she didn’t come to church as usual-and she also had a car. then suddenly, she is weeping on TV for her poor mom who can barely walk and needs her meds every day-whipping the urgency. She also never says what meds her mom needs to live-insulin? Anti-seizure meds? If that is so, then cops are looking for a body-not a living woman. I honestly think this is an inside job-to get money one way or another-a relative or relatives could have hired someone to grab mom, ask for ransom, then off her and hide her body-there has been NO proof of life in 11 days...
