[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s odd an elderly woman living in a large house alone (and the mother of a celebrity) wouldn’t have a better security system? It sounds like there was a barely functioning ring doorbell and something that let them know ‘approximately’ when the garage was closed.

I’m a nobody but I have a system that is much more precise than that - it at least would be able to tell me the exact time a person was on my driveway; what time they were at the door; and what time the door was opened, with supporting video that goes to an app. [/quote]

+1 She did not have enough supports in place for someone of her age and health issues living alone on that property. . [/quote]

Even if true, what does that have to do with her being kidnapped???  The elderly don't get support to deter kidnappers, as far as I know.[/quote]

All this says is nobody should sleep alone. That's not really practical to prevent this type of completely bizarre and unusual crime.[/quote]

Having a strong, healthy caregiver or companion who's mobile without a cane can do much to help when a break-in occurs or prevent one from happening. . [/quote]

Caregivers are paid next to nothing. You cannot expect them to body guards.[/quote]

They can call 911. They can run faster. They can make sure alarm is on. Two people better than one. [/quote]

You can’t force someone to live with someone if they don’t want to. Nancy is not incompetent.[/quote]

Yes, you can. The real issue is too few Americans want an elderly parent to move in with their family. It’s easier for them to be out of sight out of mind…until predictably, tragedy happens. [/quote]

No you can't. You can ask, cajole, but any person determined to be of sound mind cannot be forced to do something against their will. And many elderly don't want to live in a controlled environment--either paid for or with family. They want to be in charge, not at the mercy of other people telling them what to do.[/quote]

Such freedom when frail and vulnerable has its price. [/quote]

We all pay the piper at some point, right? 1/gajillion odds of getting kidnapped. Yes, you can fall, have accidents, need aid, etc. but for someone of sound mind and body, the trade off in losing freedom to have in home health is likely not worth the price and I don’t disagree. [/quote]

Your odds of being assaulted in a nursing facility are definitely higher than your odds of being kidnapped out of your home.  [/quote]
