what a great way to get revenge on baby boomers!

LAKE MARY, Fla. — Investigators in Seminole County say they’ve discovered a bizarre problem: adult children are dropping off their elderly parents at hotels and motels, and abandoning them.”A lot of the local hotels seem to be getting seniors that are just dropped off by their kids,” said Officer Zach Hudson of the Lake Mary Police Department.One man was left at the La Quinta Inn in Lake Mary for several weeks.”Two different times he fell out of his bed during the midnight shift. We didn’t know about it. We had people call up, saying there’s a gentleman in this room, he’s screaming for help,” said Chris Loker of La Quinta Inn.The problem comes down to money.”A lot of these nursing homes are too expensive for the kids, much less their elderly parents,” Hudson said.Part of the problem is the hotels and motels are neither trained nor equipped to take on the elderly people, especially since some of the senior citizens have medical issues that require medical treatment.But, Officer Hudson told WFTV, when parents are left at the hotels to fend for themselves no crime has been committed.”Fifty years ago you had four generations living under one roof. Now, now not,” Loker said.Hotels said, many times, they have to call 911 to get immediate care for the senior citizens who are dropped off.

Our social fabric is looking a little ragged.
