Curfew for the elderly in Brabant after a violent robbery committed against an elderly woman Interior

Incidents of violence involving seniors have a significant impact on seniors. Last week, an 85-year-old woman from Eindhoven was stolen. The victim was severely beaten and severely injured in the head.

Wilma Schrover, director of the Catholic Association of Older Persons, may hold the position of to find the group president. "All the more so that kind of stories are today almost every week," she told Omroep Brabant. "Thieves do not fear and the elderly are an attractive target group because they are often vulnerable."

According to Rennenberg, many elderly people close the doors and open the curtains after five hours. "The homes of the elderly are turning into a kind of bunker and people are no longer opening their doors." The Catholic Seniors Association recognizes this image and states that no one comes to schedule a meeting in the evening.

Lack of respect –

According to Rennenberg, it is the zeitgeist. "There is more respect, before we were afraid to steal an apple, but nowadays there are 15-year-olds who steal."
