Elder Abuse in America Break the Silence: Elder Justice Act NOW!

http://elderjusticenow.org/take-action There is a silent crisis that effects every community in America: Elder abuse. Every year an estimated 5 million of America's older adults are beaten, ignored or financially exploited. Yet, as a country, we remain silent about this growing crisis.

To begin to address this problem, Congress has an immediate opportunity to pass federal legislation that will provide a foundation from which we can begin to protect our country's elders -- the Elder Justice Act. But we cannot do this without your help. Please help us break the silence by adding your voice to the national campaign and urge Congress to pass the Elder Justice Act now!

Witness: What seems to be the perfect family!

From a peaceful family that never fought, and from a family that would travel great lengths to make sure their Mom was in good health. You will never believe when what is Best for Mom turns out to be What certain family members can stick in their pockets. Witness the lies, diversions and hypocrisy to cover up the LOOTING over the years!

Financial elder abuse is generally defined as the improper use of a seniors funds‚ property or assets. Examples include cashing a check without permission, forging a signature, or convincing an elder to withdraw large sums of money and running off with it. Signs of financial exploitation may include sudden large withdrawals of cash, or transferring the title on a bank account to a new acquaintance. SB 1018 states that suspected financial abuse occurs when a bank employee observes behavior or transactions that would lead a person with similar training to form a reasonable belief that an elder is the victim of financial elder abuse. Types of Elderly Abuse About financial abuse: TYPES OF ABUSE Financial abuse of the elderly can happen in numerous ways. Family, friends, neighbors and caregivers are the perpetrators in 55% of cases. Here are some typical crimes: * Investment fraud * Abuse of Power of Attorney authorization; this is the one of the fastest growing crimes in America * Fake charities * Telemarketing and sweepstakes scams * Deceiving an elderly person to sign loan papers or withdrawal slips * Forging an elders signature * Use of counterfeit checks or debit cards to drain an elders bank account * Theft of wallets containing identification, and credit and bank cards * Theft of mail, including bank and credit card statements, preapproved credit offers, telephone calling cards and tax information * Announcements of a prize that the elderly person has won but must pay money to claim * Call the victims credit card issuer, pretend to be that individual, change the mailing address on the account, then run up charges on the account; because the bills go to the new address, the victim may not immediately realize there's a problem * Establish phone or cellular phone service in the victims name * Open a bank account in the victims name and write bad checks on that account * File for bankruptcy under the victims name to avoid paying debts incurred under that name, or to avoid eviction Elder Abuse Financial Richard Elliott Joan Louise Marjorie Duckett Kay Zoetewey Ruth Borders Bank of Stockton William Bill Allen Teresa Vanderheiden Natalie Lerma-Solis Idella Mae Reed Fraud Tax Lady Bob Jones Univ Dordt College
