Why Elders are tagets for abuse

Because July is Washington State Adult Abuse Prevention month I wanted to include posts with information relating to abuse. Elders are targeted because they are more trusting, often live alone, are lonely, less likely to report a crime due to embarrassment or fear, many keep cash and/or valuables in the home and physical limitations.
