In a striking case of man's inhumanity to man, the family of an 89-year-old Texas man is furious after a Ring doorbell camera captured video of a FedEx driver refusing to help the man after he fell outside his front door.
The elderly man can be heard asking for help, and the FedEx driver saying, "I can't do that, boss," the driver said from the curb near his truck.
According to ABC 7 in Freemont, the man had fallen about 10 minutes before the driver made the delivery, according to his daughter. "(He) didn't at least ring the doorbell or call 911!" the man's daughter Marie Kouches wrote in a Facebook post that had been shared more than 480 times by Sunday afternoon. "Thank God he's OK, but what if he hadn't been?"
Kouches told ABC 7 that her father suffers from dementia and has fallen before. "We try to keep an eye on him but he does still move around with his walker," Kouches said. "It seems he was maybe trying to go back inside and his leg gave out. He gets confused and easily upset with new things."FedEx issued the following response:"We extend our thoughts and concerns for the well-being of the person depicted in this video. The safety of our team members and customers in the communities that we serve is our highest priority. We are reviewing the circumstances behind this incident and will take the appropriate action."
