Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes talked with seniors at the Elizabethton Senior Center on Monday morning during an elderly abuse awareness program. It was all a part of the worldwide "Elder Abuse Awareness" day.
"Our goal is to save lives," said Karen Mansfield, Seniors and Law Enforcement Together.
Mansfield said elderly abuse comes in many different forms, like physical, psychological, or even financial abuse. It can also happen anywhere.
"Whether it's at home or in a nursing home setting or wherever, elderly abuse is a huge problem," Sheriff Mathes said.
If you suspect elderly abuse contact your local law enforcement.
