Not on the fucking railway tracks, fortunately.

In far too many corners of society, the elderly are brushed aside...

I guess you could say she was brushed aside.

Barriers, horns, and traffic lights are tools, but human compassion remains the greatest safeguard of all.

I think with enough training there won't be any more bewildered old people straying onto the tracks.

Wrong? And just what would you suggest that he do? Go get a mop and bucket and clean up the street? Not his job.

It's hard to train people with Alzheimer's. (in one sense of the term, in another sense - as we see here - not so hard).

This is just a typical day of the week for that guy, nothing out of the ordinary for him.

In far too many corners of society, the elderly are brushed aside, their struggles unseen—especially those suffering from cognitive challenges like dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other mental impairments. These are the people most likely to wander into danger, their judgment clouded through no fault of their own.

It’s high time we recognize that elders with cognitive difficulties aren’t merely “old.” They’re vulnerable—and they deserve care, supervision, and protection from tragedies just like this. Barriers, horns, and traffic lights are tools, but human compassion remains the greatest safeguard of all.

Oh, bless your heart, I found the newbie!
