Sorry but no way would I agree this greed/paper crime and conviction has any credible comparison to any physical crime.
This person wasn't actually caring or even employed in direct care for anyone either.

My point is, abuse of power, to do something deceitful to any person, vulnerable or not, is wrong and rightfully punishable. When that deceitfulness is done within a particular work role, a similar work role at a future date should, imo, not be an option, especially if employing that person could inflict a bad reputation on that company.

Its got nothing to do with compassion or pity and all to do with 'damage limitation'; something most employers take very seriously.

So we're back to the expenses scandal? That was an abuse of public office for monetary gain or fraud as it's more commonly known, that was quite swiftly swept under the carpet for most.

Well, I wasn't specifically talking about that but seeing you brought it up, yes, the same applies or should of.
