Abuse & Neglect of the Disabled
Abuse can be social, like a verbal put down, physical, like hitting or kicking, emotional, like yelling or threats, or even sexual, like harassment or assault.
Neglect can be as simple as ignoring someone or isolating them. More terrible is failing to provide a disabled person basic needs like food or medicine or clothing or housing.
Abuse and neglect of the disabled is wrong. It is also against the law. It's pathetic and it turns my stomach!
If you, or someone you know in Illinois is being abused, call 866-800-1409.

ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteAbuse and neglect are horrible experiences and I appreciate you talking about this topic. No person with or without a disability deserves to be treated poorly.
