How can family, neighbors help older adults suffering from neglect, abuse.
If you observed a family member, even a stranger, on the ledge of a tall building or with a handful of pills, ready to take action to end his or her life, would you watch and do nothing? Not summon help from others? Not call 911?
If you peered out your bedroom window as a masked man held a gun to your neighbor’s head, would you just crawl into bed and hope nothing bad happens?
