Confronting Elder Abuse

Elder Abuse is a very serious crime and is recognized and punished as a third degree FELONY in Texas. A Felony is considered to be a crime of a grave and atrocious nature and is an offense punishable by death or imprisonment in the state penitentiary of Texas.
Even though my sister and I worked diligently to help our dad and our mom live out the lives which God intended, we never suspected that an abusing caregiver was working even more diligently to end our parent's lives. We were naive and trusting, believing that someone with the job of "caregiver" actually cared about her patients. We hope that by relating our experience, by telling others what we have learned, we may save some other parent, some other loved one from fear, abuse and an early death.
My sister and I believe that our dad was one of the greatest individuals of his generation. We will always love our wonderful father, and we will never forget that our dad died before his time.
