Comparing this to care abuse or where physical injury or physical harm has been done to another is not in my view appropriate.
She got community service 11 years ago, now it is down to others in a position to,to either employ her or not.
Whether that is good judgement is another matter.
It's also for time to tell.
Fine if some people will never give anyone another chance for one misdemeanour, that's up to them.
Not everyone has to follow such an extreme line thankfully.
Otherwise re offending could be more bigger an issue.
Even an MP, convicted and even sent to prison for under a year, can then still,if they wish,stand for re election to Parliament.

Abuse of care could be anything. It could be forging a postal vote for someone they support. Most abuse within care isn't physical, its devious and so my example is appropriate.
