Daughter left injured mom, 94, on floor for weeks
The Sarasota woman died at the hospital, and her daughter has been
arrested
By Latisha R. Gray

SARASOTA ? Helen Frizzell, 94, fell and was injured inside her School
Avenue home, then lay in virtually the same spot for more than two
weeks
after no one in the house called for help.

Her 65-year-old daughter, Carole, told police that her mother was too
heavy and she could not move her. Carole Frizzell told detectives that
her
mother was also adamant that nobody call 911.

Woman was of sound mind, and didn't want help. By the Carmen standard,
the
daughter shouldn't be facing charges.

But:

>
Carole Frizzell was arrested Wednesday on a felony charge of neglect of
the elderly. Her mother died several hours after authorities took her
to
Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Nov. 23.

Ah, it's an elder-specific charge. I guess if you leave someone under
65 to
willingly wallow in their own feces, that's okay. But if they're a
geezer,
it's a crime.

snip
Frizzell posted $50,000 bail and was released Wednesday from the
Sarasota
County jail.
Gotta remember: okay to leave an ill person in the house and not get
them
help - as long as they're not elderly.

Great, I'm sure there are parents with sick kids who don't want to pay a
doctor bill, that will love this doctrine.

You forgot to note that the bad guy in this case was a woman, and she
was arrested and charged, too.

OMG I am so sick of the nitpicking around here about gender.


What about the *geezer factor*.
