Care abuse

[coetzeegisela]

Abuse, not physical nor financial. How and to whom to address Emotional' disenfrancisement or disadvantage, - or in another way, the abuse of one's 'well'-fare? Have tried and am largely ignored

You're going to have to explain that a bit more.

Same here, title sounds interesting but need a bit more info to completely understand x

I understood it perfectly well (her vocabulary is superb), I think she wants to know how/to whom to address psychological abuse whilst in care.

Hi Gisela. How and with whom have you tried ?

[bikerlifestyle]

I'm guessing that psychological abuse would be reported to the same people that regular abuse is reported to, but I think proving psychological abuse would be much more difficult

and unless you have some sort of proof I guess they might just treat it as hear say

Hi

I am very sorry to hear this; some years ago I felt repeated emotional abuse, bullying etc from several medical staff over several years, causing me much alarm and distress. I complained-waste of time etc. One very detailed complaint, circa 10 yes ten sides of A4 typing, was to Head office of the NHS trust in a big city but I am still awaiting a reply nearly 15 , fifteen years later. Causing alarm and distress is a criminal offence of harassment . Maybe if I had walked into a police station and made a formal complaint, named names, elaborated on specific situations etc I may have been taken a bit notice of. Or maybe not, as if one has sustained a brain injury we imagine things when it is convenient for some sad soul to believe and/or project to others. Well this was my experience and I hope you can find the support from somewhere/one to pro-actively "fight in your corner", as I wished and still do for this as it would make life easier.
