The professional...Exactly right , Annette and Mike. The professionals are the abusers. And IN addition, caretakers. In my mother's situation, caretakers in my parents home threatened me, my parents, said they can get rid of me anytime they want, said nothing will happen to them because of the agency that backed these caretakers. With the enormous fright in the house and so much stolen and them sitting for 7 hours straight to SHOW they can do whatever they want and get paid ,now my mom was trying to wear any jewelry she owned so they would not take it. They got her alone, tried to get jewelry off my mother.She, as BRAVE people do, fought back two at a time and then the caretakers called the police , said she was delusional and she was taken to a hospital and drugged . To keep the idea that my mother is combative, she has been drugged almost to death and when a NORMAL person fights to NOT be drugged, tries to get out of forced institutions that hold them there, knows their assets have been taken, their property sold, they are then either Alzheimers or Dementia patients who need drugging so they cannot talk anymore and are SOO "combative"(favorite word) they must now be restrained and locked up forever while being made sick. And guess what . no one can do anything about it !! <br /><br />Franianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188962665077629417.post-38628827608333012012016-06-01T09:30:56.906-05:002016-06-01T09:30:56.906-05:00I agree with Annette.

This article is good, but it loses steam because the inaccuracy of who really is main culprit.
