My news report is about 'Iowa moves toward creating criminal penalty for elder abuse' , Iowa is just steps away from joining 49 other states in criminalizing elder abuse.The Iowa House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved Senate File 522. The next step will be consideration by the full House. The Iowa Senate approved the bill 47-0 last year. If passed, the bill could then be signed into law.
He was very excited because he thinks the bill might pass. D-Des Moines, who noted that Iowa is the only state without a criminal elder abuse law. “We’ve been working on it for many years. Many people have worked on getting the language right and we might be down to the last need to get it right.”

I'm going to be telling you Janet's story of abuse . She had a grandson , and he would help with running errands ,like he would get groceries for her and go to the bank for her , he would also drive her where ever she wanted to go because she hard time doing things since her husband passed. As winter approach Nicholas had told Janet that it would be easier if he would just go and Janet could stay home and stay cozy and warm, since it was winter. Janet didn't think anything about it, she actually thought it was helpful , so she signed her pension cheque over to her grandson, who would make her purchases and deposit the rest in her account.
As several months go by Nicholas did not deposit the balance in her account , but he was still doing her shopping and dropping it off at her house . he would always pocket the difference , and it would cause Janet account to dwindle. Janet never knew about it until a check she had written to cover her insurance had bounced that Janet realized her grandson had been helping himself to her pension. The abuse of elder people by family members goes back to ancients times . The concerns over mistreatment of elderly people has been realized by the coming decades . " Elder mistreatment is unrecognized hidden . and uncorroborated." ( Falk, N.L , baigs) Public health and criminal justice has dictated to how elder abuse is analysed , and how people deal with it. People deal with abuse different then others
My name is Aaliyah, and My article is about elderly abuse.I wanted to do elder abuse because I feel like elder abuse is misunderstood and not a lot of people know much about it. Abuse is very serious and its when someone is repeating an act or just a act of appropriate action towards you . Most people are sacred to tell someone because they think they wont get heard out or the person that's doing it to them, will do something bad to their family or even them .
If you know someone that get getting abuse, you should help them get help, help them talk to someone about it let them know you are there for them . Older people do have it a little harder when they have poor physical health, not getting out much , or even low income . Again if you know someone that is getting abused please help them reach out for help. |
