Talk about kicking someone when they’re down.

Entrusted with the care of an ailing 82-year-old woman, a domestic worker did the unthinkable, siphoning $1,500 out of the woman’s bank account over two months, her employer claimed in a Shin Min Daily News report today (Sept 1).

The Indonesian domestic worker is being investigated for her suspected involvement in a case of dishonest misappropriation of property, police confirmed.

The woman’s daughter, 60, told reporters that the helper, who remains unnamed, had been hired in February to care for her mother.

Following a stroke, her mother underwent surgery in July and has been in a vegetative state since.

The family had a good impression of their helper initially as she was friendly and hardworking, the daughter said.

“We trusted her. She was the only one at home with my mother. Usually, she would take my mother to her medical appointments and use my mother’s bank card to pay the fees.

“We never thought she would be so dishonest. She didn’t even let off an elderly person on her last breath.”
