It should be. In Canada, law enforcement gets involved and the criminals (some of them work as Registered Nurses and Social Workers) get more than a slap on the wrist. The way I see it, that's ageism right there - so it is a hate crime.

It should be considered similar to child abuse. Because in their own way, the elderly are vulnerable.
