| 英文摘要 | Elder abuse is a growing public health problem in the United States and statistics show that each year, hundreds of thousands of elders are abused in some manner. This Note discusses elder abuse while focusing specifically on the occurrence of elder abandonment and how the majority of states do not recognize elder abandonment as a form of elder abuse in their statutes. Moreover, this Note proposes a model statute to be adopted by every state in an effort for elder abandonment to become more widely reported. Elder abandonment is an unfortunate phenomenon and those who contribute to elder abandonment should face criminal liability similar to those abusers who engage in elder neglect or other types of elder abuse. Furthermore, this Note emphasizes that there should be a greater focus on how caregivers can seek assistance in order to prevent elder abuse in the United States. Key Points for the Family Court Community: Elder abuse is a large and growing problem in the United States and, given their extreme vulnerability, the elderly are prime targets for abuse. Elder abandonment refers to the desertion of an elderly person by an individual who has assumed responsibility for providing care for an elder or by a person with physical custody of an elder. Elder abandonment should be included in every state's elder abuse statute. Elder abandonment is a different form of abuse from elder neglect in that abusers who perform elder abandonment are attempting to rid themselves of responsibility for an elder by deserting them, while elder neglect is withholding of essential services to an elder. Caregivers who abandon their elders should face criminal or civil liability depending on the level of intent and potential of bodily harm, or death, to the elder. |
