The abuse and exploitation of seniors and endangered adults is a particularly underreported crime, for a number of reasons. A nonprofit in Indiana is working to raise awareness about these cases and represent people in need, as part of a project called Legal Assistance for Victimized Adults, or LAVA.
Today we talk to people behind the project about the challenges they’re facing and their plans for the future.
Produced by Drew Daudelin.
