SUMMARY: The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) emphasizes the importance of preventing elder abuse on World Abuse Awareness Day. Elder abuse involves physical, mental, sexual, emotional harm, neglect, or financial exploitation of vulnerable seniors. TBI prioritizes prosecuting offenders swiftly to ensure justice. Special Agent Brock urges reporting suspicious injuries or situations to Adult Protective Services, local law enforcement, or TBI’s Medicaid Fraud Control Division, which recovers millions in fraud annually—yielding over $3 returned per dollar spent. The issue is widespread: about 10% of seniors aged 65+ face elder abuse yearly, but only 1 in 14 cases are reported, highlighting the need for community vigilance.

For nearly 20 years, people have recognized June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

The trade represents a major roster shift for both teams heading into future seasons.
