Hi Jacqueline-Thanks for an opportunity to let your readers know that elder abuse and exploitation are an American pandemic already. In the back of my book there are pages and pages of danger signals and warning signs of abusive tactics and what the early warning signs are. We are thinking about adding additional material to Paradise Costs and have one of this countries foremost experts on geriatric and forensic psychiatry reading to add his work to my book. We will do everything we can to foster awareness on every level of elder care. There is much that can be done to prevent it but like every thing people need awareness. I begins with seeing our story unfold and becoming aware of the layers of abuse, exploitation and neglect. In's a layered phenomena and we all need to get "smart" about it in a hurry. To those reading about my book here, I am delighted to offer you an autographed copy if you contact me directly. Thank you, Irene Masiello, author of Paradise Costs-A Victim's Daughter Fights Back against Elder Abuse.
