> Children abuse their elderly parents. They do this by stealing their money; by neglectig them; by subjcting them to physical violence.

I am taken back by your formulation here. Do you imply that children abusing their parents is the norm?




Your question prompted me to look again.

It seems I was wrong!

> Of these, 38% of the alleged abuse took place in the older person's home, while 45% took place in a care home.

> Physical abuse and neglect were the most common types of abuse reported.

> In 6% of cases the alleged abuser was the older person's partner, in 16% it was another family member and in 37% a social care worker.
