Summary/Abstract: With this work we're trying to show the problem of violence in families on elderly through the picture of family and social situations of creating and continuing the violence, we're trying to define the most common forms of violence on elderly: molesting and ignoring, and we're showing what are the duties of the community to recognize and help the ignored and molested older people. We are also showing the facts gained from police records, and are showing the chronology of the happenings in the families where one can see that we're talking about the complicated biopsychosocial problem caused by personal experience, genetical manners, the way one was raised and by the social situation. "Dark numbers" of this problem themselves show us the size and the danger and need of direct interdisciplinary actions to stop and prevent the problem.
