PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Authorities say an elderly Port St. Lucie woman was so neglected by her son that her never-removed shoes had grown into her feet.

Investigators were called to an area hospital on Saturday after paramedics found 90-year-old Anna Chuboff emaciated and wearing clothes "soaked in urine." She had been injured in a fall at her home.

Her son, 68-year-old Robert Rozenti, was arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person. It wasn't immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Sure, she took care of her son well when he was incapable of self-awarence at infancy. It's unfortunate that the son refuses to return the favor.

I'm not a Doctor, don't even play one on TV, but I'm pretty sure her feet grew into her shoes. Unless her shoes are somehow sentient.

And people say to those of us who never had kids: "who will take care of you in your old age?"....

I was thinking the same thing but didn't think I should change the wording of the article

Here here!!! Just because you have kids does not guarantee you have a nurse when you get old...much less a neglectful nurse.

This really happened... some mentally ill lady's butt was fused (if that is the correct term) to the toilet seat.

Such judgemental people! And from a story that isn't even a paragraph. Hopefully sonny boy will get his day in court. Read the story...mama was on her feet at 90 years old and the fall was what brought her to the attention of the paramedics. Who called the paramedics? A lot is left out of the story.

Have any of you ever been around cranky old folks? Sounds like my 86 year old neighbor. Her kids tried to have her put in an old folks home, but she fought it tooth and nail. Old folks have rights in the USA even if it is not in their best interests. Myself and my neighbors often found her laying on the ground and unable to get up. Several times. Often she soiled herself when she couldn't get up after falling. The paramedics and state workers were well aware and at her house quite often. Sad but true.

It took months to get her committed to a nursing home by court order here in TX. In the mean tiime she lived in the house with a yapping dog that bit her so often that she had bruises all over her body. And she loved that dog and refused to get rid of the little devil.

Old people are funny that way. Maybe the old gal went ballistic when sonny boy tried to take her shoes off. Who knows?
