ELDER MALTREATMENT IN ROMANIA • physical abuse • sexual abuse • psychological or emotional abuse • neglect and abandonment
Elder abuse is a serious problem in our country and yet it is often under-reported. • Public neglect of elder people maltreatment • Mass-media using this type of news for publicity
People, especially the young ones forget that, once, the elder generations worked hard to make a better world for us.
Causes A lot of people make fun and maltreat old people because of: - different ideas or looks - abuse, neglect or trauma in childhood - lack of education
Let’s see some cases of elder maltreatment in Romania… - Without money there is no medical care Source newspaper: www.tribuna.ro - This story was presented correctly by the source
An old man is attacked in the street by a group of children. Source: www.brasovpress.ro/2012/09/24/copii-de-tigani-ataca-in-plina-strada-un-batran-din-medias-video/ - This story was a sensational one meant to gain publicity
In conclusion… • They worked hard all their life • They deserve some respect
Old people have been through so many things that they don’t need to be cool.
