Elder Abuse

• It is sometimes difficult to identify verbal or physical abuse. With children sometimes one child may not respond to being sent to their room as punishment and the parent or parents may have to use other forms of punishment such as spanking on the behind (not slapping, kicking, punching or using an item other than the hand to spank that child.) Some people today feel that spanking a child is wrong, but statistics prove that children who were properly spanked (not beaten up) had fewer problems in every day life than children who were cajoled through their lives or 'given things' to basically keep them quiet and happy for just a little while, without resolving the problems. Parents are divided between whether they should spank to 'it's wrong to spank.' Verbal abuse is difficult to prove and leaves no physical scars, but does do damage mentally to that individual. It can take away their self esteem; self confidence and leave them feeling as if they are not important to anyone in this world. The saddest part is verbal and mental abuse was the mind set that men could not be abused because it was drilled into society that men were stronger and obviously be more physically abusive towards a woman, but, it has been found in many studies in just over the past 10 years that indeed men can be verbally and physically abused. Most good men are brought up to not hit a woman and thus they do not. Because of the social feelings of men being more dominant when it comes to physical abuse these male victims often will not reveal they are being abused to family or friends and seldom seek help by the Abused Men's Program and psychiatric counseling. It can be difficult for female/male to prove verbal abuse because there can be a gray area. Example: A woman can nag at her husband for not fixing things around the house to not paying enough attention to her and a man can complain that his wife is out all the time; a poor housekeeper, etc., but this does not constitute hard core verbal abuse. All couples can nag at each other and it is normal to get into the odd argument. Then there is elder abuse. The elderly are at the mercy of their children, proper medical care and some Nursing Homes have been reported as not giving good care and injuring their elderly patients. When a caregiver (be it a daughter or son) is constantly looking after an elderly parent that has many health problems or may be suffering from Alzheimer's it is constant care leaving the daughter or son without free time for themselves (especially if they are also raising children) and frustration can set in where the daughter or son (without much help from the rest of the family) may become so frustrated they may try to force feed their parent; not feed their parent; hit; wrench arms or legs (generally the elderly suffer from arthritis and are tender to the touch); not bathe them and this constitutes physical abuse. There comes a time when the siblings of that parent must come together and decide when the time is right for their parent to enter into a nursing home for better care. Often this causes tension in the family. Some daughters/sons, etc., that are trying their best to look after a parent become frustrated; angry because they do not feel they are getting help; become confused and worn out to the point they do not know what programs are available to help them out and thus, the daughter or son becomes depressed and eventually abusive towards their parent. Other sibling may just neglect their parent and basically (hard to believe, but true in some cases) are waiting for their inheritance or may steal jewelry or other items from their aging parents and in their mind set confirm to themselves it is not wrong because their parent is going to die anyway and why not take what you can get before someone else in the family gets it. This happens more often than one can believe. Men abusing women is more open to the public eye and it can be far more severe and can lead to murder in some cases (or accidental murder.) Hitting or punching and the woman hits her head on something causing death is 'accidental murder', but planning to do away with one's wife and possibly children is murder in the first degree. If the wife chooses to not file a complaint against her husband (most women do not because the laws to protect women at this point are extremely weak and only infuriate their abuser more) then there is not evidence of physical abuse. The male will segregate the female from her family and friends with the mind set of 'what happens in MY house stays in MY house' so often others are not aware a woman is abused.
• What makes abuse really hard to prove is because 1) it is based on human testimony and 2) it is based on human interpretation of what is right or wrong. While some parents think that it is completely okay to beat their children halfway to death, others feel that even giving their child a stern look is wrong.

So far, the most technical hardstyle song is Dark Symphony - Spastic Dragon. In saying that, their new album "Spastic Zoo" the most longly anticipated album of all time, which will revolutionize hardstyle, will be out within weeks, therefore making The Zoo Keeper the most technical hardstyle song to vibrate it's sound waves across the very earth itself.

The complexity of the time signitures, the riff structure and most of all, the lyrics, will be so rediculously technical you will have to hire new ears out from the doctor surgery to be able to handle the technical output of musical genious behind this music.

There are lots of unwritten rules of etiquette in a nursing home, some of which include:

* No sponge baths before 6am

* Only one game of bingo per day

* Never give anyone their pills if they are wearing clown make-up.

* Muesli can only be served at breakfast time

• If you have been trained correctly then you should know how to treat the elderly in a care home and protect yourself at the same time. You already know you are dealing with Alzheimer's and other diseases effecting the brain where the elderly person is not aware they are striking out or hurting their caregiver. Generally mild sedation is often required.

If a fat person sits on you, you could shoot them depending on the weight of your "fat person". There is a law that will help you with this called the weight range law. If the person is from the weight range of 300-350 you could shoot, but it would take 26 bullets to kill 'em. If your person is in the range of 350-500. It would take 196 rounds of bullets to kill them. If your person is between the range of 500+, Nice knowin' ya. (;

safeguarding of vulnerable adults

Only you are responsible for how you react

Yes

Yes- extremely

• When there are allegations against an individual re elder abuse in Canada that individual would be wise to find a lawyer to defend them. Whoever is accusing the individual of elder abuse needs to prove that fact and also have witnesses. Some people mean well and feel in some circumstances that the caregiver is being abusive to an elder. Example: If a caregiver is looking after a parent who has Alzheimer's they can at times become violent or wander away from home and the caregiver may have to put restraints on them to keep them from lashing out; hurting themselves or wandering away anytime during the day or night. Another relative or friend that may witness this may consider this elder abuse.

Every individual has the right of protection under the constitution. And this is the role of the Government.

How power can be used and abused

Vulnerability.

Egg because an egg is a cell. All living things came from cells, unless you're Christian and you believe that God made humans, blah blah blah. But in the course of science, the egg came first :)

Yes it is.

This includes physical, verbal, Neglect, fraud, scam. The elderly are the most vulnerable people in our society next to children.

Daughter does not have the power to revoke her father's Power of Attorney unless she has become his legal guardian. She does not have the authority to make herself the attorney-in-fact. However, father has the right to change his attorney-in-fact if he wants to and as long as he has the legal capacity to do so.

Perhaps you should consult with an attorney who specializes in elder law if you are concerned.

My former employer introduced CCTV and DNA swabs for taking spittle samples as evidential samples to staff to assist With the apprehension of offenders. I guess it depends on whether it's public on staff or staff on staff, but other useful strategies can be useful, like paired working and strong policies on prosecution and managerial presence at key times. Making a written diary with details of witnesses will be required if you end up in tribunal!

Lead factors that can lead to harm and abuse include various social and economic conditions, such as poverty, lack of education, and substance abuse. Additionally, systemic issues like inequality, social isolation, and exposure to violence can create environments where abuse is more likely to occur. Psychological factors, including a history of trauma or mental health issues, can also contribute to abusive behaviors. Addressing these root causes is essential for prevention and intervention.

Isolation of an elderly person can increase their vulnerability, making them more dependent on caregivers who may exploit this situation for their own gain. Without regular contact with family and friends, signs of abuse may go unnoticed, and the elder may lack the support network needed to report mistreatment. Additionally, isolation can lead to feelings of helplessness and despair, making it harder for the elderly individual to assert their rights or seek help. Ultimately, the combination of vulnerability and lack of oversight can create an environment where elder abuse is more likely to occur.

You should first consider contacting the police, especially if there is imminent danger. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, and you only need an attorney if you are filing civil suit.

If you find you need to contact an attorney, the attorney you should contact is a personal injury attorney

A lawyer who specializes in lawyer malpractice is the choice of lawyers otherwise a personal injury lawyer is also appropriate. The reason a lawyer who specializes in lawyer malpractice is preferred is that not all lawyers are willing to sue lawyers, but obviously a lawyer who sues lawyers will represent the abused elder or his representative against another lawyer. Sometimes the abused elder is not competent and the conservator or trustee must sue on behalf of the injured victim In . In Arizona there are treble damages and general damages available for damages for elder abuse. Many times the abuse is financial as well as physical abuse

The limitation period for lawyer negligence may be different than the, limitation period for elder abuse. Check with your lawyer about the limitation period. Elder abuse claims can survive the death of the victim. In the usual tort case the pain and suffering does not survive the death of the victim, but in elder abuse cases in Arizona pain and suffering can be awarded posthumously.

What happens when a parent file's false elder abuse charges on someone

If they have not always done this I would start with taking them to the doctor to make sure none of them has Dementia or Alzheimer. People with Alzheimer especially can get angry. If they are still both clear in the head it's their choice as long as both are instigating this but that means you can also talk to them and tell them how devastating this is to you and how scared you are they will get hurt. Also try find out the reasons for the attacks. If one is starting it and the other one protecting him/herself it's a different story and the police should be called. If they are sick, or one of them, it might be time to look at another living situation.

She's gonna kick your bottom :(

Or maybe she's just into BDSM, I dunno.
