Death By Dehydration Is Murder
Our beloved family member, my Aunt, 87, died, as a Ward of the State at the direction of her temporary/emergency guardian with assistance from the nursing home.
ReplyDeleteOur family was not allowed to interfere or intervene with the orders, in any manner, including getting “comfort care” or Hospice care for my Aunt.
Instead we were forced to watch her suffer from untreated Urinary Tract Infection, filled with fear, her last days of life, as she was pleading and begging for relief, for some food and for a drink of water.
I was told by the nursing home staff that I needed to co-operate with the orders or I would have to leave their facility.
I was allowed to stay if I agreed to administer only a few, approximately 5 drops of water to her mouth, through a tiny dropper each hour and that was all the water that she could have.
I am forced to live everyday of my life with the final and painful memories of my Aunt in extreme distress, clawing at my arms and struggling desperately trying to get my attention to help her and for me to give her some water.
My Aunt is one of many murdered victims while under abusive guardianships.
How is it that Guardians are getting away with murder?
Why is society closing their eyes, while allowing the Guardians to intentionally cause the death of their Wards by withholding food and water for their own self-serving reasons.
Why is it that society chooses to turn away from the truth, by not finding this to be criminal behavior, closing their eyes to the reality of the elimination of the elderly and wards of the state? Can this be the meaning of mass murder in the United States of America?
Will this national tragedy of eliminating members of our society, ever get society’s attention and outrage until the Ward, who is dying in a manner that is intentional and inhumane, is one of their own?
Or, will it become an important issue when “they”, themselves, are the Wards pleading and begging for relief, for food and a drink of water?
Death by dehydration is even worse than murder, it's execution!
