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.
