by a senior ( he is over 90)

You may need to get a supervisor involved to reinforce boundaries with him that he is not to touch you.

Not by a senior but by a girlfriend!!! HOW SICK IS THAT???
I had just returned home from major back surgery with 21 staples in my back and countless stitches inside...unable to stop it from happening she satisfied herself and left me bleeding from my surgical site!

Sorry that happened to you hard2please. I've been trying to avoid him as much as I can I don't know what to say to hI'm if I see him in the hall or have to clean his room but I've told few staff that I don't want to be alone in there anymore and hope it doesn't spread around everywhere

Oh I'm sure the rest of the staff knows, the chances he hasn't done this to others in there is next to zip. I'd say something and let them deal with it.

You should not be subjected to that no matter what his age!!! You have the right to refuse unsafe work!!

In my 20's an older guy at work who was very senior to me, made a grab for me in his office. I shouted out and luckily he was caught (red handed) I never saw him again. He was fired on the spot.
He got what he deserved, I just felt sorry for his wife.

was attacked starting about 8 yrs old till about 14 . this was a regular occurrence 2 or 3 x a week. no one believed me when i tried to tell them. not even my own mother. i guess since im a male , its a big joke., laughed at. i guess the joke is on me.

I agree with hard2please you have the right to REFUSE unsafe work. You better be careful. You never know who is out there. He could always have someone working with him to that you don't know about that is what happened to me just was not that old. Please let someone know so YOU CAN STAY SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sending prayers your way.
