Former Nursing Home Employee Stands Trial for Elder Abuse and Torture

There are many forms of elder abuse and it's happening every day to our parents, grandparents and even some children. It is happening by employees, judges, attorneys, court appointed guardians and fiduciaries. It's time for all who know of this abuse to stand up and be a voice.

If these allegations are correct, I hope Cesar Ulloa never sees daylight.
