Amazing story ! Its on Panorama tonight, at 20:30.

It really doesn't give any details on the link. I'm very sceptical though after seeing the last BBC "investigation". They seem to decide what they want to find and mislead their way towards it.

Pixie....I first heard this early this morning on the Today Program. Its seem clear-cut to me....he was dumped in Britain.

Poor chap I hope he's happy and settled back in the USA now.

[pixie374]

Omg! So he literally was brought over and dumped in a street. Unbelievable.

[gness]

Isn't that just the saddest story......so well looked after here by strangers.....and now uncared for in his home country......so sad...x

[pixie374]

It is. I hope they find him somewhere much better there.

[ummmm]

Poor fella :-(

[NoMercy]

Poor, poor man to have such appalling relatives.

[Tilly2]

A dreadful story. That's made me very sad. Poor, poor man.

[Jackdaw33]

Almost impossible to believe.

According to evening news, it's called 'granny dumping' - abandoning the elderly to save medical costs

[OldBather]

It seems that his Wife,and his (agressive) Son are being investigated by the US Police.It also seems that he was very happy in the UK home,but the US Home is VERY basic and has a low standard of care.

I'm watching this with thing 1 and she remembers him from when her class went carol singing up the home in 2015 :)

[pastafreak]

Watching it now...very,very distressing...and so sad.

[Mamyalynne]

As said in the programme it's sad they managed to discover who he was.


Poor man.

[mikey4444]

I have just watched this program, and there are a few questions still outstanding.

One ....It said that a person had been arrested in England, but not who that person was, or why they were arrested.

Two....It also transpired that Roger was removed from the Nursing Home in Hereford, and taken back to America. But there was no mention of who that person was, and how the authorities allowed Roger to be taken away from the Nursing Home.

So, a very unsatisfactory story after all.
