Whether it is financial, emotional, physical or verbal, it's all abuse. It doesn't matter who the person is. It seems like society puts awareness into certain group of people and forget that abuse can happen to everyone. Elder abuse is one most people don't think about. They are targeted due to their age and health. Trust me, I know because someone in my family just went through something that no one should ever have to go through. What pisses me off is that nobody even seems to care.
People only seem to acknowledge one group of people. They are too ignorant to see what is happening in this crappy world. Everyone matters. Not just the children, white, black, or wealthy. We all matter.

But of course that didn't matter to the person who decided it was a good idea to jump my family member until they couldn't see out their eye. This person decided that it would be a good idea to beat up an 60 something year old in a wheelchair while she was in the waiting room of a hospital. A hospital that decided it was okay for somebody to get beat up and not do anything about it. OOOOHHHH even better the hospital doesn't have cameras in there waiting room, so apparently no evidence to back up what happen in the waiting room.
And the police they are so helpful.
You would think with somebody getting hurt they would arrest the perp but no they let them go and didn't even write a report about it . But of course they lied and said they filed a report and arrested them. My family had to go through a whole system just to finally get these people their just desserts.
Wheelchairs and walkers don't make elders less human. You know that whole saying treat others how you want to be treated. I guess their parents never taught them to respect their elders because they wouldn't be putting their hands on someone elses family and yelling hurtful remarks. Like I said we live in a crappy world where people think its okay to do harm to others.
