Most states have penalties for anyone who victimizes or abuses older adults. In Oklahoma, it is a criminal activity to abuse elders. It is best to check with an attorney to learn what an abuser’s punishment could be in Oklahoma. More and more law enforcement officers and prosecutors are being trained on elder abuse and how to utilize criminal and civil laws so that abusers can be brought to justice. The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) compiles elder justice laws, statistics, and other state resources on its website.
