Action Needed

To the Editor:

I’m concerned for the poor elderly women in the Schulenburg home that are being prayed upon by the, now 27, sexual predators housed there. The fact the manager has tried to cover this up is despicable to say the least. It should be and is criminal.

The term elder abuse is more than appropriate and is defined in Texas statutes. Surely the State has the authority to correct this obscene problem that has apparently infected this facility for many years.

What the heck is going on? Our HHS and police should have acted far sooner than this. There is absolutely no reason for them not to have taken this situation over and arrested all those culpable. The fact that Senator Kolkhorst is “looking into it” is of no help. I mean how long should it take to look into the criminal reports on hand? Where are our State Troopers and Texas Rangers on this? Are they purposefully housing these deviants there under an agreement? Why are women being locked up with them?

Many easy questions should lead to easy answers.

All of the people who are responsible for oversight should be fired at a minimum. There is no reason for this to be ongoing for years.

Would you want your aunt or a mother housed there? If you are not outraged as I am about this you are truly heartless.

Call the police, sheriff, Texas HHS and Senator Kolkhorst and raise hell right now. Help save these many older women from being placed with all these sexual predators.

I know they would be most appreciative.
