Help us fund higher education for assistance living and homecare for senior citizens. We need to stop people form abusing our elder we need to be taking care of them. We should be seeing videos of people of a certain age being abuse online. We need more people to be aware of what is going on when it comes to the care of people who matter to us.

Elder abuse is a term referring to any knowing, intentional, or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person that causes harm or a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult. Legislatures in all 50 states have passed some form of elder abuse prevention laws.

Even the prevention laws that have been passed there are still no permit way to stop it that why I need people to sign this petition so we can get more active in the prevention of elder abuse.

THIS IS JUST WRONG. Nobody should be treated like that especially at their age.

My mom worked in a home for years and saw awful things. People need to be checked out better before they get hired to care for anyone.
