Statistics do not lie - somewhere in Warren County today, an elderly person will be abused.
That person may not be physically abused. The abuse may be verbal or mental, which are just as damaging in their own way.
Based on statewide figures, dozens of Warren County seniors were victims of abuse in 2006.
Governor Rod R. Blagojevich and the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) launched the third annual statewide “Break the Silence” campaign and proclaimed July Elder Abuse Awareness Month in Illinois.
