That statement is false.

Elder abuse is when someone intentionally cause harm to the elders and in this context self neglect refers to when someone unknowingly cause harm to the elders. People who conducted elder abuse need to be taken away from the elders and put into jail, while someone who conducted self neglect just need reeducation
