text: would you consider this elder abuse? my sister gave her son and his ex lots and lots of money every month for 16 years in fear that if she did not she would not be able to see her grandchildren. i talked her into stopping the flow of of money and now he refuses to let her see them or speak to them. she is heart broken and he won't budge.now the kids aren't even allowed to acept a gift from her. she tried but he didn't even tell them a package came. he tossed it. i think it should be reported as elder emotional abuse. what does anyone else think? the guy is definitely a grade a a**hole, and you can report him if it makes you feel better, but the authorities don't have any power in this situation. too bad though.    now, for twenty bucks, i'll get him in the kneecap with a bat for ya.   (no, not really.)
