ADULT ABUSE

Gov. George Allen has proclaimed May as Adult Abuse Prevention Month in Virginia.

In 1994, there were more than 9,000 reports of abuse, neglect and/or exploitation of older and disabled adults made to and investigated by local departments of social services.

If you suspect an adult is being abused, neglected or exploited, contact the local department of social services: 365-0880, 242-3764 or 562-3423. by CNB
