The family of an 80-year-old grandad with dementia who had his entire life savings stolen by his own granddaughter say they will 'never understand' her
The family of an 80-year-old grandad with dementia who had his entire life savings stolen by his own granddaughter say they will "never understand" her "utter contempt and cruelty" towards him.
“Dad helped to raise Nicole. He supported her completely. I will never understand how a member of his own family, who he treated so well, could behave with such utter contempt and cruelty towards him.” Norman's dementia symptoms first started in 2016. He would become forgetful and confused, with the pensioner formally diagnosed with the disease four years later.
“When I saw dad’s bank statements, I felt absolutely sickened. There were huge withdrawals of cash, up to £1,000 a day. She’d paid for her parking fines, shopping, tattoos, weekends away, Uber Eats and takeaways, mobile phone bills. There were so many takeaway orders, she must have been handing Dad’s debit card round in a free for all.
Taylor pleaded guilty to theft at Preston Crown Court last month and was sentenced to 14 months behind bars. Norman’s statement, read out in court, said: “I am incredibly disappointed in the person I thought the world of. I am hurt that a loving, supposedly caring girl that I treated like my own could do this to me.
