Description

The King County unit that prosecutes elder abuse says they are tackling a problem that has tripled in the last decade. According to AARP, nationwide financial scams cost older Americans more than $28 billion per year. Prosecutors call it an underreported problem. "We really have not been talking about that the way we need to be,” said Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Page Ulrey. Regarding elder abuse, last year across the state, Adult Protective Services received 65,844 reports. Of those reports, 12,785 occurred in King County.
