He's abusing my Mother!!

Hello,
My mother who is 66 has her grandson living with her and my father. He has been living with them practically his whole life, he is 22 yrs old.

Over the years he has stolen anything that he could sell for drugs. My father will not confront him.

He is constantly (almost every day ) verbally abusing his grandmother, yelling, screaming, calling her terrible names.. [ I could go on and on ] but my basic question is what recourse do my parents have against him?

He laughs in their face when they threaten to kick him out. We're all very frustrated here... help??

Thank you for any advice!!

Zarkonn,

Is it possible and would it help if your mother would get her son out of her house and then get a restraining order against him? I know this may seem a bit much, but maybe it's the only thing that will work in this situation.

Zarkonn,

Elder abuse falls under the same guidelines as child abuse. Your local community family abuse and crisis center should be able to give you advice or refer you to the local agency that protects elders.

If you have trouble finding a place in your area, if you will give us more information maybe we can locate some service for you.

Good luck,

If he is addicted to drugns then he should be send to a rehab. and why your father not even think about to control him.
