The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten

The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten: "Sister locked up and forgotten"

A WOMAN was locked up and “lost” for 70 years after being wrongly accused of stealing 13p.

Jean Gambell, 85, was “certified” indefinitely in 1937 over claims she had taken the cash while cleaning at a doctor’s surgery.

The money was found — but Jean still spent 70 years in a maze of care institutions.



To be "LOST" for seventy years... Yes this happened in England, there is something about Europe where old people are lost/forgotten. If you look at past posts there are a few about dead people remaining in there homes/apartments for years with no one the wiser!
