Graeme Sutherland

[Anonymous_Daisy]

Graeme is a Scottish man who cares for his mum Linda, who has advanced Alzheimer's. He's recently been told by social work not to share his mum on social media anymore, as he was featuring her in adverts which invaded her privacy and showed her in some vulnerable situations.

What do you all think? Is Graeme right or is he wrong? Have at it!

How he exploits his mum is sickening . He’s a bogging b moving his mum to another care home due to the previous one not allowing him to film her , the poor woman will have been settled in her care home , social media comes first though . He does seem good to her , but a decent son who cares for their mum would have stopped putting her on tiktok long ago

Hope everyone reports him to the new care home and they’re on the ball about allowing him to exploit his poor mother any further.

Him and Big Vav were ‘flirting’ for a while. A match made in heaven.

They both exploit vulnerable family members for TikTok £, they are made for each other

Will just add my previous post from the other thread which inspired this here

He’s going to look like former Labour MP Denis Healey when he’s older

Playing the bloody victim.
Did anyone else on here see that Water Wipes ad?
Quite obvious he poured food down her front for it. Doesn’t mention that though does he? Scumbag.

 

[Cass_25]

Maybe so, however she has lost the ability consent now & he still exploits her.

I saw it and felt totally sick to my stomach. It was so obviously staged and I felt it really ridiculed his mum. Followed him early on when I thought he was being sincere but got increasingly uncomfortable as Linda was shown totally inappropriately imo and blocked him.

It’s no different if you were mistreating your child doesn’t matter that you are their parent it doesn’t give you the right to do it and you would be investigated.
I know the wording for a Welfare POA as I have been entrusted by a relative in the past.
Not only is he abusing his Mum’s situation he’s also exploiting the wording in to justify doing it. Perhaps it should be updated when it comes to social media if it hasn’t been already.

Also remembering quitting his job because of his depression. Surely if your MH was that bad the last thing you would think of doing would be an ad featuring your mum in a care home.

Hope he’s been declaring the income. I take it he’s on the pip now like the rest of the Begs.

I mind he put a tiktok up a while back of his mum extremely distressed. He said in it he was showing the reality of Alzheimer’s. It’s no wonder social work stepped in. I really hope Linda is protected from him in her new care home . What is he going to do just move her from place to place until he finds somewhere that the staff are sound with the vulnerable being exploited for cash .

Do you know what bugs me - care home spaces are like hen’s teeth in the west coast of Scotland - I would like to know how he managed to get her moved to a home in another local authority when people are lying in hospitals jamming up beds through no fault of their own waiting for someone else to die for their space. That means a person in that area was put further down the list to accommodate his mother cos of his carry on.

Probably blamed his own ‘mental health’. You know what these begs are like.

Went off him pretty quickly too. Linda may have given consent to being posted online when she had capacity but she isn't able to withdraw that consent now. It should have stopped a long time ago. Education doesn't mean exploitation!

Completely wrong. His mum has no capacity and can’t consent to being on social media. It’s gone beyond raising awareness of her condition

Power of attorney can’t be changed as his mum doesn’t have capacity. She is the only person who can change it. However the Office of the Public Guardian are responsible for overseeing them so they may have stepped in or local authority have. The Adults with Incapacity Scotland Act provides local authority ie social workers powers to deal with these types of situations x
