John Attard.

Someone sent me a video. It was a short clip. The video is about an old man called John Attard, he was a great, grand-father. He was treated very badly by a carer, who was in her new job only 6 days. She threatened to, beat him up, she dragged him across the floor, treated him like a rag doll. John’s son Chris had a secret camera installed. John Attard had dementia. At age 88 he was very frail. The abuse happened in his own home. A few days later John Attard died from his treatment, by her hands. Nothing happened to her! The comments that come with the very short clip, is the best! The so-called carer is like every family’s nightmare, no one like this evil person, wants someone like her looking after their family member.
On the same day, other carers had come forward in a different case. They had spoken about the abuse they had seen at work. They worked in a care home. The manager did not want the good name of the home ruined. The manager informed them, “That they would be deported, if they said what they had seen and heard.” So, they kept quiet!
Two types of people won! The carer and the manager.

This broke my heart. It’s
This broke my heart. It’s beyond horrifying what was done to John Attard — in his own home, in his final days. I think about how many families trust care workers with their most vulnerable loved ones, and how impossible it must feel to suspect something’s wrong but not be able to prove it until it’s too late. That his son had to install a hidden camera says everything.
And the part about the manager threatening deportation to silence witnesses? That’s not just cruelty, that’s systemic rot. When power protects abusers and punishes those trying to do right — it’s no wonder people stay silent. But stories like this need to be told. Thank you for sharing it.
