[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so incredibly sad. They found the elderly man in his submerged car in Lorton. My heart is breaking for this family: https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2025/12/missing-78-year-old-fairfax-county-man-found-dead-inside-submerged-car/ [/quote] It's sad that the family knew he was having memory issues and let him drive anyway. It is sad that he died but preventable. What would have been a lot sadder is if he killed an innocent victim or victims. [/quote] I think families are also confused regarding how much to intervene. When my dad's cognition plummeted, we hid the keys. Full stop. Some get mixed messages on "respecting elderly dignity" and don't integrate teh importance of balancing safety[/quote]
