The answer is true.
The maltreatment of a
person (often children or older adults) from a system of power is called institutional abuse. This ranges from acts similar to home-based
child abuse, such as neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and hunger, to the
effects of assistance programs working below acceptable service standards, or
relying on harsh or unfair ways to modify behaviour. It often occurs within
emergency care facilities. Such as foster homes, group homes, kinship care
homes, and pre-adoptive homes. The employee usually causes the maltreatment.
