Abuse of Vulnerable Elders.
Now that the “Baby P” , we are still denied his name and he is still denied dignity even in death, has received serious attention in media and government circles we hope that the same tenacity to get things right will be applied to the elderly in care homes. There have been and there still are documented cases of the abuse of the elderly in care homes. Vulnerable, elderly adults need protection from abuse as much as children do.
The government really needs to address concerns in regard to vulnerable elderly people. Not only are some elderly in homes daily abused but some families also abuse their vulnerable relatives. There needs to legislation to extend the same rights to vulnerable adults as has been done for vulnerable children.
