Comments about ‘Measure seeks to alter definition of 'emotional abuse'’

What a dumb law. Emotional abuse does not exist, its a fabrication of misinformation than cannot be defined by law as equal or unequal by application. Abuse of elderly is not emotional, it is physical abuse that become an emotional stress long after the physical abuse has been applied. By the time emotional abuse is obvious, the physical abuse has done its intended damage.

We now have another new law to tolerate and allow more senior abuse. A line has been drawn by these centers defining their exemptions to crimes as care givers. As long as these centers don't step over the line, its legal and fair abuse. Now the CEO's can move forward and work on more important task than a seniors health care and comfort. Such as fraud and criminal reports to government to collect Medicare funds in more diverse methods and irresponsible employees who can't speak english or communicate about problems and needs of the seniors. The line of corruption has again been established.

With all its intentions, this law is also a line drawn for all abuses case becasue all stress is emotional, more morality laws to muddle the courts and justice.
