Elder Abuse: Half of Russian Immigrant Population are Victims (Israel)

Israel: About Half of the Russian Immigrant Population are Victims of Elder Abuse (June 17, 2008)
(Article in Russian)

In conjunction with the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day held on June 15, the Israeli government issued a report revealing elder abuse among the Russian immigrant population living in Israel. Nursing homes are becoming "traps" for older persons as personnel severely abuse them, rob them, and take their personal belongings. However, only 10 percent of the abused elderly file a police report for fear of revenge attacks.
