Carer Filmed Slapping Kettering Dementia Patient

The carer quite rightly lost her job, but I am unsure why the Police didn't pursue a charge of assault, as its quite clear to me that it was indeed an attack on a vulnerable woman.

If the camera was set up because there were suspicions the daughter would have been partly prepared......
Remaining calm, difficult though that would be, was the best thing she could do for her mother and to get the carer out of the house undamaged.....we know what happens when you hurt someone even when the one you hurt is in the wrong....
The carer would now be claiming for all sorts of injuries.....x

It depends, Ael......I arrived at my mother's to find a man and young girl sitting either side of her holding her hands.......they had told her they were from the church and in her confused state she took it to mean her Catholic church.
They were in fact from a weird religion or cult..... I reported them to the police who investigated.
My mother became very violent towards me when I asked them to leave so I had to stay very calm despite both "visitors" becoming threatening towards me for denying my mother her right to God...and a whole lot of other chanting and waffle.
I think the daughter's first concern was for her mother in that moment as was mine and you have to deal with the situation in the best way for them....
The carer should have been prosecuted though..x

Yes, I get that, I really do.
It's hard looking after elderly relatives - particularly those with dementia. Really hard. Those of us who were brought up to be decent human beings protect them with everything they have.
That person is a nasty individual. The lack of provocation is quite startling. The fact that she just slaps her for no reason whatsoever (I am not saying there is ever a reason for violence, but the fact that they are sitting quietly on the sofa and she just lashes out is horrifying).

I saw that and it was heartbreaking. If I'd seen her do that to anyone, never mind a vulnerable person I'd have dragged her outside and beaten her into the middle of next week- apparently I'm more my father's daughter than I thought, because I'm usually all for due process, but seriously sometimes you do need to counter fire with fire, as she's more or less away with it scott free.
