- <p> FAMILY TRAGEDY
- </p>
- <p> In March, John Kingery, an 82-year-old victim of Alzheimer's
- disease, was found abandoned in his wheelchair at an Idaho
- dog-racing track. Last week his daughter Sue Gifford, 40, was
- charged with kidnapping him from his Oregon nursing home and
- dumping him in Idaho. Kingery's case drew national attention to
- the phenomenon of "grandpa dumping": stressed-out adult children
- abandoning their ailing parents. Kingery is now in Kentucky
- being taken care of by relatives.
