"a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person" ("Elder Abuse", n.d.)
"For every reported case of elder abuse, five others are unreported."
"Almost 90% of the abusers are family members."
"Only 2% of the federal abuse prevention fund goes to protecting elder abuse."
