    That would depend on the circumstances.  If you were forcing someone to get out of the middle of the road for their own safety, I doubt it.

    Yes, anytime you use force or threat on a person regardless of being a senior it is abuse and will be charge ofr fired from a job.

    Most people know what abuse is and, yes, if they are abusing someone through coercion they deserve to be charged. I'm sure that every case will be dealt with accounting for all circumstances.

    If you give some examples of the kind of coercion you mean we'd be better able to answer your question.

    Only if the person you are coercing is elderly.
