Tabloids have without a doubt gone too far this time. A journalist from the National Enquirer, was seeking a story and actually checked Teri Shields, mother of actress/model Brooke Shields, out of her New Jersey nursing home!
Teri, 75, who suffers dementia, was later found, unharmed at a nearby restaurant.
First off, the nursing home personnel should have made the reporters provide more proof than the simple claim of being her friends. Her visitation regulations are currently under investigation to see if there was some sort of verbal or written permission that would allow someone outside family member to these types of outside visitation.
Secondly, it outrages me that someone would take advantage of someone in that state, just to get a story. Though the journalist claimed to be her friend, he had a photographer there, which clearly (in my opinion) meant there were ulterior motives.
Brooke told People magazine, "I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act."
Do you think the journalist was in the wrong or do you think it's the nursing home's fault for allowing it? Or, do you think the visitation permissions may not have been specific enough?

I would be breaking some heads. The "journalist" should be charged for kidnapping, and the nursing home for negligence.

The paparazzi AND the nursing home should all be held responsible, but the paparazzi even more so. That poor lady was left at a restaurant by herself! She could've been hurt... or worse! Goodness, what is wrong with people?
I'm glad that the mother is ok, but seriously... someone needs to start cracking down before something bad happens.
I think that they are both to blame. They have hit an all time low when they are taking the elderly out of there comfort zone just to get a story.

I think they are BOTH to blame. Shame on the journalist of taking advantage of "Mom"! Her condition is something that makes is hard to take care of them as it is. I had a neighbor when I was little. An older gentleman who was my friend and his wife also suffered with dementia. He took care of her on his own and we had time were we were all having to go look for her. One day I can remember was she went walking and thought she was going to go shopping and she "got lost". My Dad and I found her standing on the median in the middle of a 4 lane road. She was scared to death. Also Shame on the nursing home! If you dont know the person picking them up claiming to be a friend.... CALL!!!! ASK!!!!! VERIFY!!!! Unfortunately you cant take someones word anymore.... ON ANYTHING!!! Makes it bad for the honest people!
