Very important question...possible neglect of an elder...what can we do?

Hello. I feel for you & you are right for caring. If Grandma could do something she would. She can't & you can. Bottom line. Your not doing this for a reward but you will be given it upon your death. Your doing the right thing. It's going to take some foot work on your part.

I agree with the 1st answer & some of the 3rd answer. Nobody has mentioned this yet but you need to start documenting all this with pics & vids if possible & a whole lot of writing. Names, dates & time Etc. If it's a vid record your watch & that days newspaper.

Hope this helps some

You have to some how find some proof, get her into some sort of nursing home or call for legal help. You can try the police. Get her into another home and tell that new home about her past abuse and how you won't put up with new abuse.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help or give you a definite answer but this problem is really really hard and I think legal help might be necessary eventually if nobody is doing their job right. What are they there for? It just makes me angry when I hear about elderly neglect. It's actually happening in lots of places.

Good luck.

first of all the children should know soon they will be in similar situation.

since all are earning. Daughter No 2 is unemployed..Bring her to grand Ma's home.

All other pay a certain amount of money to Daughter No 2 so she has some money and in return will take care of Grand Ma.

All other children visit mother on weekends or when ever they get time.

It is very sad that one mother can take care of 6 children and 6 children can not take care of a mother in older age.

You are very sensitive, And your concern shows you feel for her.

teach your elders a lesson.

Tell them,

This old lady was an active lady once.

She raised you all to be on these positions.

She did her duties when she was young.

THE TIME HAS COME TO GIVE HER THE REWARD FOR WHAT SHE HAD DONE.

make her this time easy by giving her feelings that she is wanted..They still need her, her prayers, her love for them and grand children

So the grand children will learn from their parents how to take care of their parents when they reach this age.

SET AN EXAMPLE TODAY.

I hope they listen to you.

I don't want to make it long but I took care of my both parents.They lived in my house and I never let them feel I am doing a favor.

God blessed me a lot because of that.

my both children studied in top school and one finished studies and is on a very high position..All the prayers of my parents.

my daughter was 7 years old when she started to refuse to go out to play just because I was at work and Grandparents were alone home.

Whenever we went any where, we took her with us and any child from our friends or family saw my mother would run to help her seated or bring food.

All my cousins regularly brought their families to get blessing from my mother.

Tell your Mother and Aunts and uncle to give respect to their mother so people will respect them..God will bless them.

Good luck to you

I'm not really sure of what to do. This is what I would do. I would call local attorney and ask for a free consultation. I would talk to local social services.( Human Resources) I would call a health service. One of these should tell you something or at least check into it. I wish you lots of luck and pray everything works out for you.

wow this sounds like an ongoing issue in this world.my opinion you should call your local department of children and family...in the state of florida there is a number you can report in this cases...i don't know what state u reside in so its a bit different..you should call your local govt for info pertaining this issue..explain this issue to the officials and go from there...thats the only thing you can do.
