ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING how someone trusted to care for the elderly could do this. Throw away the key! NZ needs to vet caregivers better!!
Exactly. Need proper background checks and ongoing monitoring, not just a quick police check.
ffs another one? what is wrong with people
Wait, he was found guilty? Good. But how many more are out there doing the same thing?
too many. my nan was in a home and I was sus of some of the staff.
How do you even sleep at night after doing that to a vulnerable old lady? Jail is too good for him.

Worked in aged care for years. Some staff are saints but there's definitely a few rotten apples. Makes me sick.
100%. These vulnerable people rely on us and we let them down.
Lock him up and don't ever let him out. Hope the victims families are getting support.
Article says he was a caregiver… how is it not standard to have cameras in common areas? Too worried about privacy?
would help but also more unannounced spot checks.
yeah nah get stuffed scumbag. hope he rots.
