93 93 year old assaulted and wedding ring stolen in care facility
Just to let everyone know that if you have elderly relative in Heritage resthome and hospital, Rosebank Rd Avondale
You should urgently ensure they have no valuables or jewellery in their possession.
On recent visit there I was shocked to discover my 93 year mother’s wedding ring was removed from her finger and she had a significant cut to her lip and bruise on her leg.
We had not previously removed the ring as it was very tight on her finger and we were afraid of causing injury.
She was incapable of removing the ring herself.
There has been no explanation for the injuries.
This has been reported to the resthome and to the police.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
