Today's episode is about elder abuse, the intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates harm to a person over 60 years of age. This includes physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse, as well as neglect. Elder abuse is often underestimated because most of the cases are unreported. Victims often have to choose between reporting abuse and losing the caregiver they may depend on or trust.
Our guest, Dr. Laura Mosqueda, has led landmark studies on markers of abuse and neglect, and established the first forensic center on elder abuse.
