While some of us would do anything to just get one kiss or hug from their mother, some are abusing them! Make this man famous and jail him! He needs the community to speak to him!

Comments under the post express disbelief and anger, with users urging authorities to investigate the incident and ensure the safety of the elderly woman.
One user commented reflecting on the role of the person filming, “The person filming sounds like a woman too… I think in a lot of these cases everyone around is helpless and in danger of getting the same treatment, maybe the best thing she could have done was record and share so that this could be the outcome… Some awareness is better than none… at least now, maybe something can be done.”
Others expressed mixed reactions to the footage:
“I’d love a moment with him in that kitchen hey.” One user said.
Another user added, “This is terrible I can’t understand how anyone can do this to the person who gave them life.”
