There are no precise numbers about elderly abuse in Mexico. However, Mexican traditional values dictate a profound respect for elderly people, where the abuelitos (grandparents) have their own place within the Mexican family.

However, there are two problems on the rise now that the Mexican population is becoming older: lack of economic support when people retires past their productive age and indifference from the general population towards people who are in need (specially on more modern places such as Mexico City). This has resulted in many older people being forced to work on the streets or being subjected to outright begging.

How can you stop elderly abuse?

Definitely contact a local law enforcement agency if you see any sort of abuse going on. If you are working for an elderly person, I would let their family know and see if they are able to get involved. Make sure someone other than you is aware of the abuse.


False accusation by a caregiver of elderly abuse by another caregiver?

Elderly abuse is on the rise and even in some cases in some nursing homes or in the elderly person's home or if they are staying with one of their children. One must prove that the accused caregiver is actually abusing the elderly person. Some people use video cameras if they have hired a caregiver to come in an look after an elderly parent and in some cases children of the elderly who have a parent in a nursing home and suspected abuse have used video taping to catch the nurses involved actually abusing their parent. This is more common than some people realize, but there are good nursing homes. Taking care of the elderly is a daunting deed and some elderly people (due to no fault of their own) can be become stubborn such as not wanting to eat; not taking their medications; going to therapy; going to the doctors, etc. This can make an untrained caregiver very frustrated and if it continues for a long period of time there is more risk that the untrained caregiver may abuse of an elderly parent. The best one can do is to work on finding a safe place such as a nursing home or a trained caregiver to take over this difficult task of meeting the elderly person's needs. The elderly often have one or more health issues and they can be childlike in manner and many have Alzheimer's and cannot help themselves and are not responsible for what they say or do, so, to abuse the elderly is just as disgusting as abusing a child. If one can not prove the elderly is abused and if it is their parent or a relatives parents or even a friends parent then it is a good idea to discuss with the caregiver of their parent that it is time to get in a professional caregiver or their parent needs to be in a nursing home. If a caregiver is falsely accused then they can set up their own video camera so their duties will be monitored. One has to prove that caregiver has abused that elderly person. It would also be wise to seek legal counsel.

How many elderly people aged 66 and over suffer abuse each year in England and Wales?

Elder abuse is on the rise because baby boomers are now in that category. Sometimes it's family abuse going full circle - abusive parents who become dependant on their children because of age are frequenly abused by those children because it's how the family functions. Abusive treatment could also come from a caretaker at a nursing home or a stranger who takes advantage financially or intimidates an elder. Like most abuse statistics, if you find one on elder abuse it will be an estimate. Most abuse goes unreported and uncounted. ____________________________________________________________ The National Center on Elder Abuse estimated that more than a million (1,000,935) seniors suffered abuse or neglect in a single year.
