Elder Abuse

What is it?

Elder abuse is the intentional harm or neglect of an independent adult. This includes mistreatment, physical violence, abandonment, theft, psychological abuse, and false imprisonment. This also includes scams and neglect from family members. While this applies to any dependent over the age 18, the punishments can be stricter for those charged with elder abuse of persons 65 years and older. However, it should be noted that domestic violence and elder abuse are different, and different laws and punishments apply to each.
