Elder Abuse -- Final Thoughts

3/15/2019

0 Comments

 
This has been a pretty exhausting series to write.  You have probably guessed, I think people who abuse the elderly have a special place saved in hell just for them.  Not to be blunt, right...  
Thanks for reading the series this week.  Comments have been interesting to read.  If I have helped one person gain a better understanding of elder abuse issues and prevent one person from being abused, then I consider this a good way to have spent my time.  Imagine what we could all do if we all did one thing to help an elderly friend or family member avoid abuse.
With all that said, here are some good resources in this subject matter.

    Blog! 

    Hello, there!  Welcome to my blog.  I will use this blog as a platform for my writing.  I will write about topics in the legal world, certainly, as well as everything else under the sun, because I have many interests (and viewpoints).  All views expressed in this blog, unless otherwise noted, are mine alone.  One of my interests is music--my wife believes that I should go on "Beat Shazam" because I know so many songs--and I will be, from time to time, analyzing song lyrics and how they relate to the legal world.
