259. Violence against the elderly in hospitals and care PGR

The Attorney General's Office showed today concerned about the violence against the elderly and in hospitals, crimes still go unreported. Pinto Monteiro, who was speaking at the Parliamentary Commission for Education and Science, said there is fear of making investments.
I already have data on school violence, domestic violence - and then much larger - of violence on children, but about violence in hospitals so far has not managed elements, ie, there are still more afraid to report violence in hospitals than others type of violence, "he said.
The Attorney General's Office reveals that his priority is the investigation of various crimes of violence and, now, what worries him most is the violence against the elderly. "I have little evidence of violence on the elderly and I am extremely worried, is what worries me most, perhaps because the elderly have no voice," said Pinto Monteiro.
