So sad that the elderly are preyed on. As a nation we do not respect our elderly as other countries. WE should see them as important and respect them
This hit me hard BC people should not treat the elderly in this manner…..Judge Bond is a very sweet man and they should be put in jail and stay there…
This is so sad!
It is so sad that people will scam an elderly person instead of getting an earning their finances honestly. U can believe that bible is true,”You will reep what you sow”!!!!
