Recognizing the problem is step one, but now let’s see some follow-through beyond symbolic dates.

Designate the day, sure, but don’t expect me to fund endless federal handouts disguised as ‘awareness.’

Putting a spotlight on elder abuse is a rare win we can all agree on—compassion crosses party lines.

No money is worth an elder’s dignity, so let’s shine a light on abuse and stop sweeping it under the rug.

Senseless to waste time on awareness months when local communities can handle elder care better than Washington bureaucrats.

Maybe if Congress spent half this energy on actual protections, seniors wouldn’t need just an awareness month.

Finally, a bill that reminds us protecting elders isn’t just a family issue—it’s a social justice fight.

Elder abuse awareness? About time we treat our seniors like the vital community members they are, not invisible afterthoughts.

Elder abuse is tragic, sure, but piling more government programs onto it won’t fix family breakdowns or personal responsibility.
