Hunt her down and lock her up -- then throw away the key!

What???? Stealing pain patches from terminally ill patients?

How low can a coward go?

Oh, I have a few ideas for the coward, perp Janice Wells and it ain't pretty.

I agree, throw her in a cage for the rest of her life.

Nursing homes are just getting worse. The poor "residents" are stuck there with no way out and no hope of things improving. And predators around every corner.

People who prey on the vulnerable should receive a special kind of justice for the rest of their lives. Never, ever should they see the light of day.
