“Once a woman reaches 60, the response from agencies and families to abuse is completely different. That’s a violation of older women’s human rights. It denies them justice.”

Absolutely shocking !
I was in tears the other day seeing the badly bruised pic of a lady in a wheelchair after some thug had attempted to steal the wheelchair. It didn't half upset me as the whole of her face was purple with bruising.

If I ever saw/ witnessed anyone being cruel like this I'd have to " have a go "and hope at the time that I'd be carrying my rolled up brolly with a point on the end. I've always said this as I wouldn't care what happened to myself.

Cruelty to babies and the elderly is on the up sadly.

The case of Ruth Williams and the resulting sentence was beyond words.

In the last two years two women both within a mile of where we live were killed by their own sons.
