Michigan Elder Abuse

The Michigan House of Representatives passed a plan sponsored by Dian Slavens (D-Canton) that will create a protocol for investigating cases of elder abuse in Michigan. You can read the story at MichNews.org by visiting here: House Passes Slavens’ Plan to Hold Elder Abusers Accountable.

I think this is an important step, as Michigan elder abuse has been a difficult issue for law enforcement to deal with.The plan looks to strengthen protections for seniors and increase penalties to anyone who physically abuses or financially exploits seniors.
