Adult Abuse Hurts People
January 28, 2009
We are all aware of child abuse. What we are not as informed about is abuse of the elderly. We are a society that is worried about our population that is growing older by the day. It is a consolation to know that there is an agency called Adult Protective Services or APS whose mission is to provide protection against adult abuse.
The APS is responsible for investigating abuse, neglect and exploitation of adults who are elderly or have disabilities. It is a non-profit association which shares information and improves the quality of services for victims of adult abuse.
