Elder Abuse

Action On Elder Abuse Website

I was really surprised to find that in America they have lots of commercials highlighting elder abuse like the one I have embedded above.   I could not locate one for the UK.  Thinking about it we have adverts on our TV for child abuse so why not elder abuse?

Reading the article that Lin gave us Power and Control: Understanding Domestic Abuse In Later Life made me think about elder people who are unable to speak out due to their illness/disability for example someone who has had a stroke and their speech is impaired.
