I recently participated in an online bullying and cyber bullying conference for the anti-bullying advocacy organization called www.cybercitizen.org. I gave a live webinar presentation on elder bullying, also known as elder abuse.

I really enjoyed participating in this event and who like to take this opportunity to thank Brian and the organizers at cybercitizen for reaching out into communities and helping educate people on a full-spectrum of bullying topics which the conferenced helped raise awareness for.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to talk alittle about the topic of elder bullying: Some things you should know about elder abuse: Abuse can occur in many ways, most commonly through finanical manipulation and stealing, but also occurs from neglect, physical abuse such as beating or restraining, or emotional abuse such as teasing.

What may suprise some is to know that elder abuse is most commonly conducted by the adult children of these elderly persons. They may abuse their aging parents for many reasons, any of which is not accepatble of ocurse, as abuse is never justified. Some reasons though include difficult reactions to the emotional experience of their parents aging and the fear, guilt, confusion, and such that goes along with it.
