OPP West Region is highlighting the importance of today with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Often times those who are victims of abuse never come forward immediately out of fear of what could happen next for them or their family.
OPP are reminding everyone resources are available for abuse victims regardless of age by contacting the OPP emergency line at 1-888-310-1122.
Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario is another resource for those to report elder abuse at EAPON.ca.
