With World Elder Abuse Awareness Day this weekend, my office is reaffirming our commitment to protect older Marylanders from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Too often, this harm goes unreported—and the consequences can be life-threatening.
We’re using every tool available to hold abusers accountable, stop scams, and ensure our seniors are treated with the dignity and care they deserve.
