ICYMI: What leads a society to implicitly condone (or at the very least, allow) inhumane treatment of some of its most vulnerable members? Elderly abuse is on the rise, but there are steps we can take to protect ourselves and our loved ones. https://fnaohio.com/seniors-beware-to-some-we-are-simply-prey
