HOW
from asaaps basics:
- Emotional or psychological abuse
Emotional or psychological abuse is the infliction of anguish, emotional pain, or distress. Emotional or psychological abuse includes but is not limited to verbal assaults, insults, threats, intimidation, humiliation, and harassment. In addition, treating an older or disabled person like an infant; isolating an elderly or disabled person from family, friends, or regular activities; giving an older or disabled person a “silent treatment”; and enforced social isolation also are examples of emotional or psychological abuse.
Financial or material exploitation Financial or material exploitation is the illegal or improper use of an elder’s or disabled adult’s fund, property, or assets. Examples include but are not limited to cashing checks without authorization or permission; forging an older or disabled person’s signature; misusing or stealing an older or disabled person’s money or possessions; coercing or deceiving an older or disabled person into signing a document (e.g., contracts or a will); and the improper use of conservatorship, guardianship, or power of attorney.
- Abandonment
Abandonment is the desertion of an elderly or disabled person by an individual who has assumed responsibility for providing care or by a person with physical custody of an elder or disabled person.
- Self-neglect
Self-neglect is characterized as the behaviors of an elderly or disabled person that threaten his/her own health or safmeety . Self-neglect generally manifests itself in an older or disabled person’s refusal or failure to provide himself/herself with adequate food, water, clothing, shelter, safety, personal hygiene, and medication (when indicated). The definition of self-neglect excludes a situation in which a mentally competent person (who understands the consequences of his/her decisions) makes a conscious and voluntary decision to engage in acts that threaten his/her health or safety.
Anyone call fall victim to elder or disabled adult abuse.
Studies do show that adults with disabilities are many more times likely to be victimized by someone else than are adults without disabilities. This is probably a result of the abusers thinking people with disabilities are less likely to fight back or be believed when they report a crime.
When Y took evidence to the Michigan State Police Alpena Post, Trooper Owen refused to look at the evidence and told ME, “We already told the prosecutor YOU don’t have a case.”
Check out their own fucking site: “It is a crime, and it is in Michigan.”
By the WAY, there is MY blood spattered on miss will-sin’s ex-bedroom wall. When Trooper Smith saw ME, Y looked like this:
Trooper Smith and his buddy had come over because miss and misses will-sin wanted to get a protective order against ME. Trooper Smith didn’t notice that Y was too sick to stand up for an entire minute, and thus was unlikely to be much of a threat to the will-sins. It cost you taxpayers over $5,000 just to keep ME from dropping dead when Y finally figured out Y had to go to the hospital.
