I am trying to make a difference for vulnerable elders by sharing this video and the information included in the attached file which relates to it.
I hope Ageless Alliance will make a difference by sharing this material, beginning with the video, which ABC News maintains online at http://abcnews.go.com/video/
The events recorded in this video are the subject of a report which ABC News presents online at http://abcnews.go.com/2020/
This video demonstrates the need for a mechanism that would trigger in such situations a timely alert to affected family members, hospital authorities, law enforcement and/or Adult Protective Services. The attached file describes such a mechanism, one that is based upon published recommendations of the American Medical Association and other medical authorities. The attached file fully identifies several of these sources and includes a draft of model legislation which would ensure that this safeguard is practiced.
Sincerely,
Tom Fields

(1) the video was recorded in a hospital by an attorney;
(2) the attorney appears in the video along with clients whom he represents;
(3) this attorney was disbarred and indicted on criminal charges for taking advantage of the infirmity of the 88-year old widow who also appears in the video so as to get her to sign a Will and Power of Attorney favoring his clients.

We'd like to invite you to make a brief video clip of yourself saying how you make a difference for vulnerable adults. You may recall that our theme for WEAAD 2013 is "Make a Difference" with voice, heart, hands and mind. How do you use your voice, heart, hands or mind to help prevent elder abuse? Even the simplest actions matter! We wanted to make it really easy so we've created simple instructions for you to follow that you can download (click here). The instructions include a script to follow and signs that you can print out and hold in the video if you'd like.
