The outcome of the investigation regarding the elderly missing people of our country turns out to be depressing.

One after the other, are ‘accidentally’ found dead in the areas, where they went missing. This ascertainment under no circumstance should go unnoticed.

Silver Alert, which recently came into our lives and in which I participated voluntarily right from the very beginning, sensitizes people and activates the Authorities for the old and the ailing people who suffer and get lost. Unfortunately this way of help seems to be inadequate.

The problems, which day by day inflate, become a noose and chock those who are not able to deal with them. The scanty pensions increasingly get hacked by the brainless that play with our fate and lives. During this harsh winter the heating oil is prohibitive. UP GO all the consumer goods, while DOWN COME the social policy.

It doesn’t take much for the health to break down and to appear even to the youngest ages the worse disease: the dementia. The patient wanders from his place and gets exhausted trying to find his way back and unless someone helps him, he passes away.

Something more must be done, in order to protect the seniors who need us. Especially the lonesome. The neighborhoods should become more human and friendly and we ought to boost the relations with our fellow men. The community should support the program ‘help at home’- which gives the elderly a leg up-. The hostels should accept those who are alone. If we all get organized, one thing is for sure, human lives will be saved.
