Gideon Nathan: Come forward, admit to accident

“If he were your father, how would you feel?”

That is the question that Gideon Nathan is asking the person who may be responsible for his father’s bed-ridden state.{{more}}

Nathan’s father, a former Spiritual Baptist preacher Dennis Peters was struck two years ago in a hit-and-run accident.

Nathan is calling on the person involved to come forward to admit to the accident. He is also pleading those persons with information about his father’s accident to give information to the police.

Nathan stated that since his father was struck down by an unknown vehicle, he has deteriorated rapidly. Now he is unresponsive, fed using a baby’s bottle and has lost a tremendous amount of weight.

Nathan is saddened, as he looks at his father whom he described as having been a “strong, strapping man”, his “superman” deteriorate, while the person responsible has not been found, and hasn’t come forward.

Nathan added that he has tried to place his father in a nursing home, but to no avail. Because of the accident, Peters lost a lot of blood, and suffered broken bones and torn ligaments in his foot.

Nathan explained that before the accident, his father suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and occasionally walked from his house in Stubbs to a relative’s home in Cedars.

He added that on several occasions, he would have to go looking for his father, as he would not come back to his home.

“To this day we don’t know what, we don’t know where, we don’t know how…” Nathan stated about his father’s accident.
