Can you file criminal charges on behalf of your elderly grandmother in Texas if you found out she was physically beaten by your father's current wife?

Informing the authorties should be sufficient. You don't need to file charges or sign a complaint, just turn over your evidence or have your grandmother explain what happened. There is no excuse for "elder abuse" and it should not be ignored. Most communities have a police specialist that can help you with that problem. You are REQUIRED by Texas law to report suspectedelder abuse (abuse of persons aged 65 or older, or persons with disabilities). Failure to report is a crime, a class B misdemeanor punishable by confinement in jail for up to 180 days plus a possible fine up to $2000! Elder abuse is not limited to physical abuse; it also includes neglect and financial exploitation. Call 800-252-5400, the Department of Family and Protective Services' hotline. Adult Protective Service will investigate. For more information, go to: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Adult_Protection/About_Adult_Protective_Services/

What do you do when a child is being charged with elder abuse when there was no elder abuse?

== == No elder, no crime. Read the statute your child is being charged with. If the prosecution cannot prove any part of it beyond a reasonable doubt, they have no case. You should look up any words in the statute that you are unfamiliar with to see what they mean in the eyes of the court. Your child should have a attorney; if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed for your child at no cost.=)
