A distressing story

"A care worker who left a severely disabled woman to starve to death at home has been jailed for gross negligence manslaughter.

Tracey Burrows, of St Helens, lied to bosses about her patient not being at home leading to cancelled care visits.

Liverpool Crown Court heard Julie Cleworth, 43, who had had a stroke, was found dead on 9 February 2017 after four days without food or water.

Burrows, 56, who denied the charge, was sentenced to three years in prison"


Only three years she'll be out in less than 12 months

OH!!!!, my goodness,

Is there no checking on these people?

Let's hope somebody gives her a good hiding in prison.

It’s heartbreaking and so distressing, it’s happening to often, and you get the same old spiel we are sorry this as happened, it should be scrutinised much closely and the selection process should be more rigorous to make sure we get the conscience people that are selected

That's it Stars..they are basically passing the buck.....

Things are going downhill fast,you get the impression that judges are frightened of any comebacks.

Carers go through a police check before they can be employed by a care agency. They might get a clean report, but it doesnt mean they haven't committed an offence. Most careres are dedicated individuals , you will always get the rogue one. Having said that I do think that these people aren't paid enough for the job they do
