This from the Telegraph: “Greedy middle-aged sons and daughters are the people most likely to rob their parents of money, valuables and even their homes, according to a report today. The findings, published by Action on Elder Abuse, are based on a study of calls to the charity’s helpline last year.

They show that far from the family being a haven for the elderly, many pensioners are victims of their close relatives’ avarice and psychological cruelty. They are regarded as easy targets if they have disabilities or suffer dementia.”


And yet people still promote assisted suicide as beneficial for the elderly. Ri-i-ight.
