HIDDEN CAMERA CAPTURES ABUSE APPARENT SUFFOCATION ATTEMPT OF ELDERLY MAN IN ADELAIDE NURSING HOME. THE ADVERTISER BY BRAD CROUCH JULY 26 2016

SING'S ADVICE WAS TO USE CCTV MANY YEARS AGO.
NO ONE  LISTENED THEN AND NO ONE WILL LISTEN NOW.
SUCH A SIMPLE ANSWER TO SUCH A COMPLEX PROBLEM.
ONE HAS TO WONDER WHY THE USE OF CCTV IS NOT USED IN ALL NURSING HOMES. PERHAPS THIS ANSWER IS TOO SIMPLE.
THIS IS THE ONE INEXPENSIVE ACTION THAT WILL MINIMISE ELDER ABUSE.
MANY DECENT STAFF ARE WELL AWARE THAT 'BLOWING THE WHISTLE' ON AN ABUSIVE COLLEAGUE, COULD LEAD TO THE TERMINATION OF THEIR OWN EMPLOYMENT.
SING HAS STATED MANY TIMES ON THIS WEBSITE: UNTIL THIS GENUINE FEAR OF REPRISAL IS ELIMINATED, ABUSE OF OUR ELDERLY AND VULNERABLE CITIZENS WILL CONTINUE.
SING ASKS: IF THIS TYPE OF HORRIFIC ABUSE OF THE VULNERABLE ELDERLY IS NOT IN THE 'PUBLIC INTEREST' - WHAT IS?
