No more taking "CARE" of people "DEPENDING" on that "TRUE" & "REAL" care for this so- called caregiver, no more being found negligent in that job & duty to whoever this individual cares for as this should be taken away, she doesn't give care, she neglects.

This person's name, this individual's name should NEVER be allowed to be associated with the word/name/label "care - giver, " ever again.

Simply "imagine" what Linda went through, that had to be traumatizing as well as frightening being in that state & situation, not knowing what's occurred, &, "WITHOUT HER MEDICINE" that "KEEPS LINDA ALIVE, " think about all of those hours just waiting like this, look where she was found, & look & see where this "caregiver" was.

😢Pitiful, simply pitiful.
We all Prayed, a community Prayed, & we were heard, the care giver revealed, hoping that due justice takes place.
We give Gratitude for the diligence of the Cranston police department as well as any other departments that assited in Linda's search.

We are truly hoping that this woman is not allowed to remain in this line of work for several reasons, yet one reason in this situation, a case such as this one is, is truly enough.

One, being the removal of that staus that this care giver has, of being allowed to care for literally anyone as this individual is not trustworthy at all.

Blessed Be, Leeanne.
