They are referred to as "The Greatest Generation", yet our society and governmental agencies don't seem to care that they are dying at an alarming rate, many of them victims of elder abuse. The life expectancy of victims of elder abuse is much less than a person who is not abused. Let's face it, it's murder. Emotionally, physically, psychologically tormented. Assaulted, drugged, starved, isolated, punished. And then there is the motive.... money. Greed is often the driving force behind elder abuse. An abused, beaten down vulnerable senior citizen is not likely able to report financial theft, larceny, assault & battery, for fear of retaliation. Family members who report are dismissed, because the mandatory reporters are part of the problem, they do not take action. The "Greatest Generation" who fought for human and civil rights in this country are denied theirs. They live to be 80, only to find themselves at the end of their lives without rights, dignity, trust and basic care. If there was ever a time to protect the rights of a generation that contributed so much to the human and civil rights era, it is now. Before it's too late, pass legislation and enforcement regulations that might prevent this horrific American injustice from destroying any more lives. THE LIFE YOU SAVE JUST MIGHT BE YOUR OWN.

DO NOT THINK THAT ELDER ABUSE CAN NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE. THE COURTS ARE ABUSING THEIR POWER AND ALLOWING THEIR FRIENDS WHO ARE BEFORE THEM DAILY TO DO THE SAME AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR ELDERLY LOVED ONES AND THEIR ESTATES.

It is imperative that this bill get passed and once and for all guardianships in the State Courts are studies and held accountable for the acts that should be criminal that they allow to be perpetrated against America's elderly and the horrific abuse of these victim's families. American People must demand this change. Elder Abuse must be stopped and victimization of the elderly to sieze their estates is unspeakable. Please Senators and Legislators ... PLEASE pass this bill , demand reform and please take time to listen to the families whose loved ones have been harmed, abused and robbed.
