Elder abuse
Elder abuse is a situation in which an elderly person has been mistreated emotionally, physically, financially, or otherwise harmed or endangered. Elderly persons may be dependent on others for care, be frail, or have some dementia, so they are vulnerable to being mistreated by mean or greedy people.
