Elder Abuse - Textbook Bullying

Bully culture has increased because of a lack of good parenting, strong structure and what seems to be a desensitized youth culture, fixated on electronic devices, no longer interested in even talking to other human beings. Everybody knows that adult children often bully their aging parents. But seniors are bullied at nursing homes, hospitals and on the street too. Here are the different types of - bullying:

a)Exploitation - forcing them to watch children, etc.
b)Physical harm - all types
c)Threats of physical harm
d)Threatens more harm of they tell


Any abuse can cause serious long term trauma and harm, but if it is a family member, the  bullying can have profoundly damaging affect on senior citizens.

Stop bullying.
