Hello and welcome to this video on Elder Abuse. This is a topic that affects millions of older adults around the world, yet it often goes unreported and unnoticed. In this video, we'll be shedding light on this silent epidemic, exploring what Elder Abuse is, why it happens, and how we can work together to prevent it.
What is Elder Abuse?
Elder Abuse refers to any intentional harm, mistreatment, or neglect of an older adult. This can take many different forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse. It can also include neglect or abandonment by caregivers, or even self-neglect by older adults themselves. Unfortunately, Elder Abuse is a growing problem, with studies estimating that up to 1 in 10 older adults have experienced some form of abuse.
Why does Elder Abuse happen?
There are many different factors that can contribute to Elder Abuse. These may include caregiver stress or burnout, financial exploitation, social isolation, mental health issues, or substance abuse. In some cases, older adults may be seen as easy targets for abuse due to physical or cognitive impairments, or because they are dependent on others for care.
What can we do to prevent Elder Abuse?
Preventing Elder Abuse requires a community effort, with everyone playing a role in creating a safe and supportive environment for older adults. This may include educating ourselves and others about the signs and symptoms of abuse, speaking up when we suspect that abuse may be occurring, and supporting programs and services that help older adults maintain their independence and well-being.
Closing:
In conclusion, Elder Abuse is a serious problem that affects far too many older adults. But by raising awareness about this issue, we can work together to prevent it and ensure that all older adults are able to live with dignity, respect, and safety. Thank you for watching this video, and we hope that you will join us in the fight against Elder Abuse.
I am going through it right now by a family member. No one would listen nor care. I have NEVER imagined this could happen to me. Particulary, I helped them a lot. Most amazing thing is NOT WANTUNG TO KNOW ELDERLY ABUSE IS REAL AND HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!
I was born in Wakefield West Yorkshire where abuse of the elderly and disabled is increasing. We have no rights and get no respect from the public or authorities. Attitudes have changed to the detriment of these 'groups' over the decades where psychological abuse is increasing where if the elderly protest they are labelled as pedophiles by young gangs. I believe that the State sympathises with the youth in targeting the elderly for exploitation and abuse. Drug gangs make much money from the elderly and disabled who have become isolated and live in enclaves in built up areas. We are targeted by criminals because we have housing and benefits and are vulnerable. I suspect that this phenomena has been occurring for a long time but fear and dependency rules in suburbs where the preponderance of elderly and disabled is high you will find the criminal gangs appear. For the elderly no-one can be trusted and for the youth to abuse them is a right of passage to obtaining status on the street and in detention. The culture of abuse is growing even though the gangs leaders can range from 30s to 50 years of age themselves. I met a peodophile couple who had carved out a complete child prostitution racket in a area designated for the elderly and disabled. The couple dealt drugs and employed children to rob the vulnerable and use them as smoke screens to disguise the activities of the gang. The male was ex army and could not be convicted because of prejudice towards the vulnerable. I think the solution is euthanasia for vulnerable people as this abuse will not stop. I'm in the process of applying for termination in Belgium where the culture is more accommodating to resolve this issue. The UK is not a democracy and is retarded from the top down.

Caretaker fatigue is a real thing and people who abuse their elders were abused by said elders themselves.
Caretaker fatigue is indeed a significant issue, and often, those who abuse elders have a history of being abused themselves. ❤️
Elder abuse is wrong. It's also equally wrong when the elder parent verbally abuses the adult child nonstop. You don't see that talked about as much.
Elder abuse is undeniably wrong, and it's equally important to address the often overlooked issue of elder parents verbally abusing their adult children. ❤️
It's so funny though!!.
I heard some young people talking and they were saying how their mum had Alzheimer's and they would smoke weed and then fuck with her by hiding stuff and then watching her look for it lol 😂😂😂
I just overheard the conversation and i couldn't help but laugh 😂😂😂
As a medical professional, it's important to remember that Alzheimer's is a serious condition, and any actions that cause distress to those suffering from it are deeply inappropriate and harmful.
@@MedicalCentric if by inappropriate you mean hilarious 😂😂 then I agree
The hell is wrong with you.
