I am disabled, 60 and was mentally abused and thrown out, but left when they physically attacked me and scared me to death. I didn't get all my belongings, etc. Their illegal immigrant tenants pay hundreds a week each. I couldn't afford it. My late husband's family also threatened to harm my son so I am stuck. No where to go, having night terrors. I am afraid to go into Austin for fear of getting beat up

This video is wonderful. Does anyone know of similar resources in Spanish

Does heavy condensation in our room and bad construction 🚧 count @ HUD housing as elder abuse?

[@mollygillam6678]

Does committing someone in order to get money or property elder abuse?

Sometimes elder abuse is just a continuation of domestic abuse.
People don't even know that they have a right to expect to be treated well because they never have before.
They walk on eggshells with their family like they always have
and fight anyone who says their family might be mistreating them.

Justice for disabled elders in America is a SICK GIGANTIC JOKE. I'm now 75+, had a disability all my adult life which caused me to be denied military service & live alone. I've reported elder crimes for 5+ years including multiple felonies by a confidence guy from Portland Oregon who admits in writing he's known I'm disabled, dealing with serious life threatening health issues, old & live alone ...yet he not only stripped me of whatever he could get his hands on while I was laying on an ER gurney... he then did all he could to trip me up in his revenge making my life a living hell because others demanded accountability & reprimanded him for his abuse, fraud and manipulation of a sick elder .....and authorities do NOTHING after being repeatedly told of this con-artist caused my Soc. Sec funds to be blocked, missing Soc. Sec under his control or direction, his Postal Fraud, his attempted extortion, his abuse, manipulation of a sick elder for his personal agenda, Class "C" grand larceny theft of my property, neglect, & scams. Far wonder, Oregon is now the worse state for any elder to even pass through even with documented proof, this guy laughs all the way to my bank and controls.
Please, don't just say how bad it is .....get ALL elders real help NOW .....REAL JUSTICE NOW !!!! ...before these con-artist kill us off. God will bless you for indicting these creeps as that IS the only way to halt elder exploitation.
