A woman refused to take her father, who has Parkinson's disease, for his medical appointments.

She ignored doctors' advice to feed her elderly parents soft and healthy food and instead denied them access to proper nutrition, forcing them to eat bread for most meals. She also deprived them of money and warned them not to seek help.

Her son has been hitting her, stealing her money, and not letting her out of the house alone. Yet Madam Ng (not her real name), 75, quietly bears the abuse and refuses any help.

Mdm Ng also spoke of “not being allowed to cook, to use the washing machine and to go out on her own.” But when further pushed, she refused help – for fear of affecting ties with her son, who is unemployed and lives off her.
