*GAO Investigates Elder Care: As Many as 1 in 10 Older US Adults are Abused Each Year with Physical, Sexual, or Emotional Abuse, Financial Scams and Neglect
Researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 10 older US adults are abused each year. This includes physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, financial scams, and neglect. It can occur at the hands of family, guardians, caregivers, or others. The Department of Justice has investigated and prosecuted cases of elder abuse, provided training and grants, and taken other actions to combat it.

Ferida Wolff's Backyard: Nature's Progression and A Robin's Beautiful Eggs
We are greeted by the most amazing azalea bushes in our front yard! Big puffs of pink remind us of the beauty of Spring. The warmer weather is not just about the brilliance of a flowering bush. I get yelled at each time I pass by the Smoke Tree in our backyard. The yeller is a robin trying to get me away from her nest and the four beautiful blue eggs inside.

When I move out of the immediate nest area, the robin flies back to the nest, no doubt content that the immediate danger has passed. I understand her/his need to protect the potential babies. more »
