    Early stages of dementia often manifest as falling for scams; a lot of them are designed to find people like that. So if your grandma is repeatedly being taken, you should be talking to her doctor and planning for care, not abandoning her.

      That’s absolutely true and also sad. Thankfully, it was just a hypothetical grandma used to make a point.

      My complaint is against those who would knowingly exploit them (televangelists, telemarketers, Trump, et al).
