“My mother has been arrested, my mother is here in the back of the car.”
Ylenia can be seen in the back of the car raising her handcuffed hands to the window.
“She is a nurse,” says Leandra. “A fully qualified nurse who is willing to take care of her own mother and here we make incredible use of police time to take my 97 year old grandmother back to a deteriorating nursing home where we have not been able to see her for nine months.
Later, Leandra films her grandmother sitting in the front seat of her car before saying, “Nan, we love you and we are going to fight for you.”

Leandra said she wanted to make the videos public to highlight her family’s plight.
She said: “I share this story and these two short videos to highlight to as many people as possible that sometimes the rules are not correct. Sometimes the rules need to be challenged and changed.”
She added: “So our final ‘window visit’ at the nursing home before closing did not go according to plan.
“When you are faced with irrational responses, your actions become irrational.
“When you are repeatedly told ‘we are just following the rules’ and those rules have kept you away from your loved one for about 8 or 9 months, you question those rules.
“When the rules, like so many in this period of our history, claim to be in place to ‘protect’ but are still causing incalculable damage to physical and mental health, then you start breaking the rules.

Leandra says that she has tried to go through “official channels” to get her grandmother out of the residence, but has had no luck.
“It feels like we’re living in the worst Kafka-style nightmare,” he continued. “Masked people coming to take your relative.
“I find myself on the wrong side of the law for the first time in my life.
“I have tried to go through all the ‘official channels’, I have written innumerable letters to parliamentarians, to public health, to the residence. I signed petitions, spoke to social workers, raised a ‘safeguard’ concern at the beginning of the lockdown due to my grandmother’s clear deterioration, but it was inexplicably abandoned and ‘disappeared’.
“When she fell ill at the residence and was admitted to the hospital, we asked her not to return. However, she was discharged from the hospital behind our back and without our consent.
“When your voice feels lost in a labyrinth of bureaucracy, when the police inform you that you are not on your relative’s relevant paperwork, when the system is failing so clearly, we have to stand up and reform it.
“The police were as kind as they could, they had a hard job. I thank you for doing your best and for stopping my mother so we can go home together.
“The problems are with the ‘guidelines’ and with so much fear that it prevents creative problem solving. Family members must be given key worker status.
“They need to be allowed into the private room of their relatives to visit, feed and care for their loved ones.
“I am hopeful that if many of us live from our hearts, act from our hearts and speak our truth without fear from our hearts, this inhuman situation will come to an end.”
