My mother has one of those bracelets.She hated it at first.The more she tried to take it off the worse her attitude got, she was very violent unit she got used to the idea that it can't be removed.She also has a 24 hr nurse and a security system that won't let her stray at all.She's also had her picture taken that's on file for as they say "Silver Protection" Elderly patients with Dementia.
As far as my neighbor,you know my sons told me yesterday the exact same thing you did.I would be blamed if anything should happen.She's a liability that I don't want or need.
Yesterday was the first time in 18 years that I've been invited into their home.Now as I'm typing her daughter is txting me like mad over stupid things. I'm playing the Monkey today.See nothing,say nothing,do nothing.
LOL!!!
Self protection I think.
