June 4, 2009, 2:29am (report abuse)As the loved one of a victim of Elder Abuse who fought for her protection I am pleased to see a bill that will address the Abuse of our Elder.
"It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." - Hubert H. Humphrey -
Please pass this bill and include the abuse that can occur under guardianships and conservatorship.
Thank you !
