Since this is the beginning of the work week for many, here’s a musing regarding a porter’s abandoning a disabled woman… When his shift ended.<\/p>\n

A disabled 67-year-old woman was left at the Chicago O’Hare overnight this past weekend. One of her family brought her up to the gate. He checked that the flight was going to go as scheduled, and that his mother would be helped.<\/p>\n

Then, the flight was canceled. They sent her to where alternative arrangements could be made for her. The plan was to put her up in a hotel. But, nobody wanted to take her to her assigned hotel.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the porter that was assigned to assist her stopped helping her when his shift ended. He “didn’t know how”, so, he called it quits for the night. Ask for help from airline\/airport employees maybe?<\/p>\n

From CBS Chicago:<\/span><\/p>\n

They said in addition to losing her bags on the way in, the airline had lost track of her on the way out.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eventually, security helped family find her hours after. Images shortly after she was discovered show her still in a wheelchair, dressed for her ex-husband’s funeral.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Claude Coltea said his mother was let down by both the airline and the porter.<\/p>\n

“All we wanted was someone to pause and say ‘you know what, can we just make sure this human being is safe and then we can all go home<\/strong><\/span>,” Coltea said. “Not one person did that<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those who know someone in the family with similar ailments as the abandoned woman, this would be a jaw dropper. It’d raise emotions, not good ones either.<\/p>\n

Normally, individuals in this situation stand a good chance of being eligible for home therapy to include nurse visits, would require independent living supports, etc.<\/p>\n

In my area, there’s the equivalent to the Child Protective Services for adults in her situation… Adult Protective Services.<\/p>\n

This woman was left “stranded”; until her family’s efforts to locate her paid off.<\/p>\n
