[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father who is the one struggling with dementia has threatened to charge me with elder abuse if I offer any assistance that is not requested by them. When I told the senior services employee this, she advised me to stay out of it for my own protection. Every county in my state has a senior services department as part of the social services division.[/quote]

They need help. Your father with dementia is not the one you should be taking orders from at this point. Dying from rabies is a horrible death- would you want to live with the thought that one of them died that way when you have the means to prevent that?

I don’t believe that there is a court that would convict someone of elder abuse for protecting their parents from bats that could possibly be rabid. Take pictures of the infestation to show that there is a real danger here and keep notes of your interactions with your parents and your interventions on their behalf.

I am not a lawyer and not giving legal advice, but I have been in your shoes. I know it’s difficult but someone needs to step up and protect your parents from danger.
