Hope this goes through. Seniors deserve peace and safety not worrying about getting robbed by people they trust.
ELDER ABUSE IS A DISGRACE. PROSECUTE THESE PREDATORS.
Too many cases go unreported. We need better laws for our grandparents.
Seen way too many seniors lose everything because nobody is protecting them. Its about time congress actually did something useful.
My mom was taken advantage of by a neighbor last year and the police said there was nothing they could do. This needs to change now.

This is important. The abuser of Linda Sisco is still out there and she is still preying on other elders. She must be stopped
