Sadly, those of us in law enforcement have learned that elder abuse is not confined to nursing homes, adult homes and long-term care facilities. More and more, elder abuse is committed by children, grandchildren, or other loved ones in the victims’ own homes.
For more information please visit the office’s web site at www.brooklynda.org. To have your questions answered in a future column, send them to asktheda@brooklynda.org.
