Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.
At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”
Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.
What is the law regarding elder abuse in the USA?
Any kind of elder abuse should be dealt with swiftly and harshly worldwide. She should be punished for assaulting an elder at the very least.
Sometimes america just don’t make no sense.
Editing: I’m aware of the case, what happened, who put hands on who. What I’m not aware of is where self defense blurs and elderly abuse begins.
You guys okay? So hostile.
I swear to god I wish idiots that comment without reading the fucking story would get permabanned.
Because at this point its just bad faith at best, and downright trolling at worst.
Did you read the article? The elder was the one who carried out the assault.
You asking questions we know the answer to?
Try reading sometime.
Its not abuse to defend yourself from assault.
I like the phrasing in my employee handbook, self defense is not an act of violence.
The elder assaulted her lol
You mean elder abuse as in the elderly person abused someone, right?
I don’t understand your reasoning. My understanding of what happened after reading the article is that the manager used force in self defence after being attacked. How should that result in a punishment for adulting an elder?
What’s the abuse from the employees? Fucking up a sandwich?
