Elder Abuse

• A person who abuses an elder person who has no control and can not defend themselves is of low character and yes, if there are marks on the victim and the abuse has been reported to police the abuser can and should go to jail

Any abuse is a crime....

So when you hit your grandma or your disabled uncle.... you can go to prison.

If the situation is an immediate emergency, you should call 911. The National Center on Elder Abuse maintains a database of phone numbers for each state which you can call if you suspect someone has fallen victim to elderly abuse.

Find counseling. Try the guidance counselor at your school.

because they get confused suffer from memory loss and dont have the capacity to make their own decisions .

• No, a mentally incompetent adult cannot be charged with parent elder abuse, but, they must see a doctor; tested for their mental incompetence and absolved of looking after their elderly parent.

Elder abuse can take place anywhere, but the two main settings addressed by law are domestic settings, such as the elder's home or the caregiver's home, and institutional settings

• 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.

• Being a caregiver for especially an ill elderly person can cause insurmountable stress and it is up to the family to calm themselves down in order to do what is best for their mother. If you have heard horrific verbal abuse then report it either to her doctor or the police who will investigate and if they feel the mother is verbally abused they will be sure that other agencies that take care of the elderly's welfare will be notified and something will be done about it.

What you are calling "body abuce" is formally known as physical abuse. Physical abuse is in no way in any situation OK. It is when someone touches you or hurts you physicaly, as apposed to yelling, or using verbal or mental abuse. None of these things are okay and all of them lead to an unhealthy "abusive" relationship. There are phone lines you can call, and people you can see in total privacy to talk about your issues of any abuse whatsover, and if you are experiencing this, you should consider doing so.

verbal

They come in the form of physical, emotional, sexual abuses. Physical abuse is deliberately causing physical harm. Emotional abuse is where repeated verbal threats, criticism, ridicule, shouting, lack of love and affection causes a severe adverse effect on a child's emotional development. Sexual abuse involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities.

They might just be kidding around, because of the ridiculousness of the word. But if they're not, then by the sound of it, and please remember I'm only guessing, it is probably either cocaine, a single pill (probably an upper), a blowjob, or sex in general.

• Some people mean well and are overly sensitive to what they term as elder abuse. It is not uncommon for the elderly to have to wear diapers while sleeping or through the day. Generally during the night the elderly person could urinate or leave feces in their diaper and this is no different than a baby doing the same thing. The elderly lose muscle control and the bottom line is their bodies are breaking down. As long as the caregiver gives the elderly person the best care they can then they cannot be legally accused of being abusive. As long as you are seeing to the needs on a 24/7 basis (even if you have to get part-time care in); taking this elderly person to their doctor's appointments; being sure they get the best medical care; are fed properly; given their medications on time; bathe them one or more times a day with clean clothing or nightwear then this is not elderly abuse. It is not uncommon for someone who knows the elderly individual to accuse the caregiver of stealing certain things from that elderly person, but the accuser has to prove it. It would be wise if you saw a lawyer regarding this to protect yourself from these allegations.

• Albertans would be shocked if they knew that the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission did not protect the elderly at all even when complaints are filed with them. Often doctors and nurses know about the abuse, but they go unreported. The best thing to do is to use technology such as a camcorder, etc., hidden well either in the private home of the caregiver for the elderly person or hidden in the room at the nursing home. Many Canadians have used this method to catch especially nurses; aides and personal caregivers often brutally harming the elderly person in their care. Once an individual has proof they can then take it to the lawyer. The police can do very little in this situation; but the proof and a good lawyer will be sure the elderly are protected.

• Staff Sergeant Ruben Rivers who was half Cherokee and African-American (born 1921 - died November 19, 1944) from Tecumseh, Oklahoma was in the black tank battalion 761st during WWII. Ruben Rivers and two of his brothers Dewey and Robert were nicknamed 'Black Panthers' and assigned to George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. Unfortunately, Ruben Rivers was not only a hero, but was one of the first to die in the 761st Division. 761st Able Company along with 104th Infantry Regiment attacked a German position near Vic-sure-Seille in France. The Germans managed to stop the progress of the tanks by a felled tree and opened fire on the infantrymen on the roadside ditches causing heavy casualties and Rivers took action which lead to him receiving the Silver Star. Rivers did not receive the medal because in just over a week he would take lead action with his platoon; his tank hit a mine causing Rivers an injury of Shrapnel which cut his leg from knee to thigh. His commanding officer told Rivers that his wound would send him back home to Tecumseh and added that Rivers not only had the Silver Star, but a Purple Heart. Rivers refused and in pain took command of another tank and took cover with the Able Company. Rivers condition had seriously deteriorated by dangerous infection threatening his life, but he led the way while advancing towards German positions near Bougalroff. Unwilling to give up Rivers tank was fully exposed and the Germans opened fire landing two direct hits with high explosive shells. Rivers was killed instantly. Rivers received the highest award; The Medal of Honor.

You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation, explain your options and file the appropriate court petitions ASAP. Only a Durable Power of Attorney remains in effect when the principal becomes incapacitated. A general POA would expire.

The family should petition the probate court for the appointment of a guardian or conservator for mother-in-law's person and property. If a guardian is appointed the Durable or General POA would be immediately extinguished. The attorney-in-fact daughter should be notified that the family is taking the legal steps necessary for the appointment of a conservator and she should take no further actions in her mother's name.

You should sit down and have a talk with the person who executed the POA. You should arm yourself with information by reading a few articles about POAs online. A POA is an extremely powerful document. You could explain that it gives the attorney-in-fact broad powers over the principle's assets and that power can easily be abused.

Rough, is a matter of perception. If there are no bruises or other wounding from the way you handled the patient then you'd use a defence which stresses that it all depends on the perceptions of the person complaining.

Don't try to justify your roughness. You were doing what you always do.

Don't blame or accuse the patient. Just say that clearly his/her needs are unexpectedly different to normal patients.

Apologise a lot, say you were doing what you always do, and that is what you were taught in nursing school.

You'd say that you were treating him/her quite normally, and that you do treat frail older people and children most carefully and that you treat adults a little more robustly, but perhaps this patient had other special expectations for frail care which you didn't know about.

Say you are very sorry to have offended the patient and that if they have special needs for frail care handing clear then you will certainly try hard to meet those needs.

Almost every hardstyle track has a decent bass kick. So the loudness of the bass will depend more on how the frequencies are equalized, then on the song itself.

With an equalizer, you can make the low frequencies of sound (the bass) sound louder, so this way you can make the bass harder. When you do this, it's important to have a good sound system that can handle more electrical power. Small computer boxes will make cracking sounds when they have to play a hard bass.

your either one sick puppy for writing this question or seriously abused.. either way you.... or your dad need help...
