Western media report this news without any discrimination. I didn't even hear they mentioned "Chinese". What they mentioned was " A horrible elderly abuse". They would report the same way no matter where it happened. There was nothing about how pathetic as a Chinese group.
If you feel you belong to margin group. You will be there forever. If you want to be part of this society, you need to accept their culture. In Canada, IT IS HORRIBLE if you put an elderly in garage. As a immigrant, when something happen, always ask yourself, did I do something against the ethic of this society? Don’t always feel you are targeted because where you are come from.
I feel this is a real tragedy. Based on the friends and neighbours’ descriptions. I believe this couple is not so bad. The major problem is that they don’t know the law in Canada. They don’t know where to look for help. I just worry about that little girl, if her parents be charged, she would probalbly be take care by the social worker.
Ontario has a very good care support for elderly and disability-CCACs. Some nurse and PSW can come to your house for help if you don’t want to move to nursing home, and they will give family financial support if you have to give up you job to take care of eldrly. they are totally free as long as you have healthcare card. Following is the link to get more information about this service. Hope this will help someone that needs help.

大家醒醒好不好,明明是英国式香港人,怎么老说是中国人哪?难道你们没见过很多香港人说自己不是chinese?
Do you have a problem with the people from HK or from somewhere else? It does not matter where they come from as long as they did something so sick and non human way to treat his mom... they need to get punishment...
The son, who was his mother’s legal guardian, had been receiving hundreds of government dollars each month to help care for her, the source said.
