[QUOTE="buddy, post: 533346, member: 12886"] Some of what a vulnerable adult means (from when I worked in group homes etc.) is that much like kids, but depending on the system based on their "safety plan" ..... so if they are super vulnerable to being sexually manipulated (or to manipulating sexually so therefore could get into legal trouble) due to their lower ability/functioining....then there has to be a plan to keep them from those issues. It can include therapies/programs to help them become more able in those areas but we all know that many of our kids with these bigger issues are just permanently vulnerable to being prey or getting themselves into big big trouble because they just dont have a clue or the ability to respect the little bit of "clue" they do have. All mandated reporting laws will apply to them too.... any suspected abuse of them MUST be reported unlike if they thought it was happening to ME, if it happened to my 18 yr old vulnerable adult son...yeah, that would have to be reported to protective services. Most vulnerable adults are elderly and/or ill and/or disabled. I am sure there is a more complicated legal issue but bottom line, they need protection. [/QUOTE]
