Break the Silence on Elder Abuse in America

In this short video, we hear several people speak out against the atrocities committed against the elderly every day. Weakened by their age, many elderly Americans are unable to resist sexual assault, physical abuse, and theft. An estimated 5 million elderly Americans are abused each year, and the vast majority of cases go unreported.

Though the Elder Justice Act has been passed since the making of this video, the abuse has not stopped. If you suspect that your elderly parent or loved one has been abused, call Shea Law Group at (773) 365-0040.
