The Silent Victims of Elder Abuse

Emotional and Psychological abuses leave NO physical wounds. But the damages to the abused victims can be just as devastating as physical wounds.
Older people are living longer and are more active. This may pose a problem to their adult children who are impatient in getting their hands on their inheritance. A sense of entitlement to inheritance often drive adult children to commit elder abuse on their parent or parents.
They may feel that they are free from interference of the law. Such cases often occur in private homes. The abusers often believe that they "have got away with it". The elderly parents often will not consider telling others about the abuses. They feel ashamed and bewildered. Wondering what they might have done wrong in bringing up their children.
These victims are voiceless and pitiful.
Until others in society feel outraged by such cases of elder abuse, there will be no help for these victims.
We need to protect and promote the rights of older people.

Please join me in my attempt to stop the abuse of Frank Punito. (see previous day comment). His children are now denying their parents access to the last bit of assets they own. The children now have control over the mother's assets. They are working on the other half!
