Secretary Connie Lawson has led the creation of the Indiana Council Against Senior Exploitation
Having so many older adults in the state of Indiana creates a “growing marketplace for those who may be looking to take advantage of vulnerable adults,” says Chris Naylor, with the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council.
According to Lawson’s office, every year, older Americans lose an estimated $36.5 billion dollars to financial exploitation, abuse, and scams, which is destroying the security of older adults and their families.
