The Montague County Commissioner’s proclaimed June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month during its Tuesday session.
The court faced a brief agenda following the Memorial Day holiday. Kimberly Davis of the Adult Protective Services team for Montague and Clay County presented the proclamation. Working and living in Montague County, she said they handled 1,756 total cases last year and of those 162 were investigated in Montague County.
Davis explained elder abuse comes in many forms both physical, mental and financial, impacting men and women, old and younger and from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Commissioners approved the proclamation and thanked Davis for her work.
