Golden Outrage: Elder Abuse
CTV Montreal
Oct. 18, 2012
MONTREAL
In a CTV Montreal special report, Cindy Sherwin looked at elder abuse and how those who care the most, are sometimes the perpetrators of violence and abuse.
“It’s absolute chaos, it’s scary,” started Joan, her voice straining. The senior, whose real name isn’t being released, lives in an apartment with her two sons. “I’d like to have peace and quiet.”
Supporting her grown sons financially, Joan was left with little money for herself. After scuffles with her sons, she turned to help.
According to Thurza Dufresne, the coordinator for Sava Centre-Ouest, Joan isn’t living in a unique situation in Montreal.
