Sister 1 is the primary carer for elderly mother (83 years), 24/7
Sister 2 does not extend any care to her mother Secondary carer to assist Sister 1 with mother, is employed from company Robins Trust
Sister 2 dangerously and violently attacks Sister 1 threatening to kill her
Sister 1 opens case at Bishop Lavis (CAS 112/12/2020) against Sister 2
Sister 2 gets arrested But state lays the charge against Sister 2 Case gets dismissed, no reason given, Sister 1 is not consulted by state prosecutor
Sister 2 is released and sent back home
Concern:
Sister 2 has on numerous occasions attacked mother even in her elderly state
Sister 2 has now attacked Sister 1 as well
Safety of mother and Sister 1 is grossly compromised
Sister 2 has history of unstable behavior and has been admitted to Valkenburg on numerous occasions.
Sister 2 is currently showing more dangerous unstable behavior and could cause the death of mother and Sister 1 and the secondary carer from the company Robins Trust
Done so far:
Had sister 2 arrested, case got dismissed
Completed form 4 (Department of Health - Form MHCA 04)
Police form completed
Police taken Sister 2 for assessment to hospital
Sister 2 sent back home
Required:
Sister 2 to either:
1. Be removed from the house and should not return
2. be remanded to Valkenburg
3. be made a ward of state
4. be re-arrested
5. Protection order (Domestic Violence, Harassment, Threats)
6. Restraining order (Domestic Violence, Harassment, Threats)
Primary focus is the protection of mother, Sister 1 and secondary carer and for Sister 2 be permanently removed from the home to not return, for the protection of the others.
