While it is painful to watch the vulnerable children along our southern border, it is at least visible. Less visible is mistreatment of another vulnerable population, i..e., the elderly. It doesn’t happen to large groups but to one lonely invisible individual after another.
But, did you know that you can be fined between $500 and $1,000 if you know of any elder abuse and don’t report it? In most cases, that is because you don’t know HOW to report such abuse. It is quite simple — pick up the phone and call 1-888-832-3858.
Now, do the right thing and report anybody who abuses an elderly person!
