Its our duty to make sure they are aware of these things because unfortunately they cannot always see the bad in some people.
Twice burglars waited for my grandma to be out the house (mowing the lawn once and chatting to a neighbour the 2nd time), entered the house knowing full well my grandfather was deaf and blind - walking straight past him. They ransacked their savings house taking money and jewellery. Absolute *******s to steal from someone who can't even fight back
Even after it happened the first time she still thought she was immune to it happening a second time
They are both gone now, but i do wish we'd have done more to protect them.
