Thousands condemned to live in squalid care homes

Very sad.Leaving elderly to fend for themselves is very cruel, to say the least.What is happening to Family as an institution?
Partly the elders are responsible.In their quest for money and material benefits they have neglected children, leaving children in creches and in the care of nannies, with no parental warmth.No wonder they are getting paid in the same coin.
The children should realize that they shall also become old.
Unless crass materialism is shunned and human values are given priority ,Family as an institution will fail, subsequently the society as well.
