... gives birth to a baby boy.

Something out of one of those LAO:SVU cases, perhaps. Pretty disturbing. How did nobody discover that the woman was pregnant?

[Mods please move thread - how it published to Rum Shop, bizarre]

Definitely rum shop story! razz

Amazing.

They probably left her to languish and one opportunistic sick predator probably took advantage of her for years.

Definitely my thought. You hear stories about elderly abuse, etc. for years, in facilities like this.

Certain things getting hushed up so that the institution survives.

This of course, is a different level entirely.

Problem is, the whole nursing home industry needs to be revamped with better standards, supervision and accountability.

Impaired elderly are mostly left to languish, especially at the Medicaid facilities. Only slightly better at the private facilities.

Mostly "students" older foreigners from Haiti (in Miami) or Africa who are on their third job for the day as aides.

Families needs to make frequent irregular trips to check up on the well being of their relatives there. That generally significantly decrease the amount of neglect.

Well the CEO just resigned today.

Well that's a first step although it doesn't address the issue of who did it and who else was complicit in allowing/enabling this.
