Seldom discussed is senior bullying because, as adults age and become marginalized in some way, others think that they must restrict their freedom of choice for protection from others or bad personal choices. Still, in other ways, predators are allowed to scam older adults without reprimand. Also, silent bullying occurs, such as limited research and funding for the sensory deficits that occur with age, which are known to reduce socialization and lead to more complicated morbidity. Remember, the first step in bullying management and prevention is to label the behavior, event, or injustice. - Dr. Stewart
