Florida Legislators AARP are Slow to Respond to the Need for Elder Abuse Protection

by Irwin Perr, MD, JD, the former president of the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law (AAPL).

There is no support from groups like AARP.

Such objections ignore the endorsements given the Ohio Physicians' Elder Abuse Prevention report, and the endorsement which these ideas have received from Bentley Lipscomb, Florida's former secretary of elder affairs, while he was director of AARP in that state, but there is no refuting the fact that most other legislators and most other AARP representatives have done nothing to address this problem. In fact, one of the most disturbing facts is that the people's representatives in the legislature and other organizations like AARP have not addressed this issue to their constituents.

Such proposals have been communicated to legislators for nearly a decade. Your help is urgently needed to persuade legislators to do something about this problem.

To share this information with family members, friends, neighbors, legislators, and other acquaintenances. Write a public official to express your concern.

LOOK WEST TO PHOENIX ARIZONA & SAN DIEGO CALF. THESE CITIES HAVE SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO PROSECUTE EXPLOTATION OF ELDERS LIFE ESTATES.
WHEN ARE WE AS A STATE & COUNTRY GOING TO ADDRESS THE FASTEST MOST UNREPORTED CRIME FACING OUR NATION?
ELDER AFFAIRS (PART OF DCF) IS HOPELESS. THEIR EXCUSE TO NOT PROSECUTE IS THIS IS FINANCIAL & A CIVIL MATTER. SO NOW, AFTER TENS OF THOUSAND DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES, THE PERPETRATOR HAS BEEN FORCED TO REVEAL BANK INFO. WE WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN THE FAVOR WITH A ORANGE JUMP SUIT & POSSIBLE 30 YEAR PRISON TERM
U S SENATOR NELSON'S OFFICE WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES VIA EMAIL & I LOST COUNT OF VOICE MAIL MESSAGES THAT BROUGHT NO ACTION.
HOW CAN A MEMBER OF U S ELDER AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IGNORE WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE TRYING TO STOP?
THE VICTIM CAUGHT BETWEEN FAMILY TRYING TO PROTECT HIM & THE SWEETHEART SCAMMER. HIS HEALTH IS DECLINING DUE TO DEPRESSION OVER THE LEGAL FIGHT.
EVERY LAW MAKER SHOULD HAVE A SWEETHEART SCAM HAPPEN IN THEIR FAMILY AND WE WOULD SOON FIND LEGISLATION TO STOP THESE THEIVES.
REMEMBER THE FLORIDA SENATOR CLOSED DOWN AUTO SAFETY INSPECTION SINCE HE DID NOT WANT TO WASTE TIME IN LINE. FORGET THE FACT THAT MILLIONS WERE SPENT ON INSPECTION STATIONS AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THIS WOULD DISPLACE.
****WE REALY NEED TO FIX ELDER EXPLOITATION FRAUD********
