Serial Killer: Herbert James Coddington

Would you want John Riems to care for you or your loved one????

john-riems-2.jpgI am so angry right now I can barely write this. Crimes against the elderly are a “pet peeve” of mine (for lack of a better phrase at the moment). And what he has done is completely unexcusable. For those of you who don’t know who he is, John Riems is a nurse. He has worked mostly in nursing homes. And he is accused of the unspeakable–sex crimes against those patients, both male and female. He was also physically and verbally abusive to the residents AND other staff members. It appears that no one wanted to work with him or have him help care for them. Many patients even refused to take their medications if he was bringing them. He has been a nurse for at least 22 years, and now authorities believe that his victims could reach over 100.  Look at his picture.  You can see what other employees mean by  his demeanor and anger issues.  He looks so angry in the picture.   They are also not commenting on what brough attention to him, but I wonder why it has taken so long. I am sure that the patients were too afraid to say something, as is often the case in elderly abuse situations. My grandmother was in a nursing home and we watched this carefully. It sickens me to think that people can and DO commit this heinous type of crime. No matter how many victims there are, there is not enough justice in the world to cover what he has done, in my opinion. Right now, the emotional (not rational) side of me is thinking vigilante justice! But, I do know better :(
