The Baltimore County Department of Aging’s annual commemoration of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was again a huge success. More than 80 people attended the spirited and informative forum. The audience was moved by the film, “Age of Injustice,” which featured the stories of abuse victims and their families. Jamaal Moses from the Baltimore County Department of Social Services described the role of APS (Adult Protective Services) and recognized those who work on the front lines to combat elder abuse. Steve Roscher of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office gave a dynamic presentation on elder abuse prosecution. AARP, the event sponsor, urged everyone to get involved in legislative advocacy. Joanne Williams, Director of the Department of Aging, announced that the annual WEAAD event recently won a NACo (National Association of Counties) Achievement Award for Community Education. Most important, attendees were urged to move “from education to action,” by distributing posters with contact information for APS and the AAA (Area Agency on Aging). The call to action was: If you suspect it, report it!
