Today, along with my colleagues, Senators Blumenthal, Casey, Gillibrand, and Nelson, we will be introducing the Elder Abuse Victims Act.
The physical, mental, and the financial abuse of our Nation's seniors is all too common.
The bill will establish a first-ever Office of Elder Justice within the Justice Department that will protect America's seniors.
While no legislation can end all exploitation, we must do everything in our power to help those victims that come forward asking for help.
