Many disabled people and those who are over age 60, are victims of abusive people. The many types of abuse that compromised or overly empathetic adults may face are physical, sexual, emotional, and financial. The abused adult may be denied assistance of the basic necessities of life by their child, grandchild or caregiver. A victim may not be receiving essential care and are being willfully denied assistance. The link that I have provided illustrate the signs of abuse and how to recognize neglect and financial exploitation. The site discusses reporting abuse, and what happens when a report is made. Protective measures can be put in place if an adult is incapable of protecting himself or herself. The Department on Aging number to report abuse is 1-866-800-1409. An additional assistance help line number is 1-800-252-8966. Narcissists, Sociopaths and Psychopaths can psychologically or physically bully children and adults to injury or death. Find your courage to stand up for yourself or others who may be abused. See this short video on the 10 Red Flags of Abuse.
