[QUOTE="DDD, post: 411170, member: 35"] Either way it is sad. I used to serve as a State Human Rights Advocate and monitored all the anonymous abuse calls for children, Department of Juvenile Justice and the elderly from two counties. If it appeared that the system had not responded correctly I had access to the files. Obviously it was a difficult job. The absolutely most shocking reports were elder abuse. I couldn't get over how many relatives not only took their funds and possessions but also left them uncared for and hungry. Often they were left alone for extended periods when they didn't have the capacity to care for themselves. Very sad. That is why I hope and pray that I check out quickly like my Dad did...one massive heart attack...with dignity intact. DDD [/QUOTE]
