So very sad. Older sick folks cant help themselves, shame on these people...
If I am not mistaken and I may be; in which case I apologize, Sherry Baker Mundy needed the community to help with one of her children and they came together to help. I'm sure her family was also helpful and this is a horrible way to repay your mother. In any event, it's Never Correct to abuse any person or animal. slf
You got that right 5:15pm. Shame on them for letting this go on. There are various places to turn to if you need help.
put all responsible in a bed and starve them.
This makes me so sick. Amy's always been trouble with drugs and booze. Ms. Baker never did a thing to be treated this way. My prayers are with her.
If you can't take care of your family ask for help. Sounds like its to late to help this woman. I hope each charge sticks.
Did you see those disgusting "caregivers"? Just embarrassing all the b/s that's news in this area, truly. that poor woman, I hope she gets proper care from here on and that they suffer indignities.
Mrs. Baker was a very sweet lady and always had it hard in life. The daughter is a mess and has caused trouble for many years now as well as the granddaughter. As far as the husband he needs to be treated as he treated his poor wife.
Was the old guy competent to understand what was happening to his wife?
No excuse for neglect, but "Bake" is in poor health himself. Both daughters should be "put away" for the way they've mistreated their parents.
Mr. George works hard every day of his life. He maintains the dance studio in Fruitland. If you need anything he would give it to you. However his mental capabilities must not be the sharpest.. His daughter Sherry stayed at home with her daughter Michelle every day to care for Mary Jane. I am upset that this happened to Mary Jane.
9:26 Excuse me, I don't believe Sherry nor Michelle took care of Ms. Baker. If they had the bed sores wouldn't of happened. I know from experience.
If I'm correct on this subject but Michell and her mother never took care of there siblings they including Amy Davis just thought about drugs and alcohol, You could drive by that place every night and they were out side drinking and carrying on...... while behind the scenes there sibling was inside dieing suffering near death I wander if they will get the maximum 10 years sentence if so they should destroy the house they lived in.
Sherry Baker Mundy was married to my brother Mike.. This family has had many issues with drugs and alcohol for way to many years. I always liked Mary Jane. She tried the best she could; but her family never listened. Now she is at rest and with my nephew Brian. They will never be hurt again by such thoughtless people. Lock them up and throw away the key forever. What goes around comes around.
Unless you have ever had the experiences that this family is going through you should not be casting stones. Mrs. Baker has had medical problems for many years, Brian had battled cancer since he was a young child. Sherry has also had medical problems. I am sure the family tried the best they could. People need to think about the hardships they have endured, especially when there are circumstances beyond their control
Unless you know Everything about this case then opinions don't really matter. The family called the ambulance because Mrs. Baker would no longer eat, and her 1 bed sore would not heal. Furthermore, hospice had been in that house everyday for 4 months treating Mrs. Baker's grandson, and never felt anything was wrong. I wish the facts were straightened out.
