Abuse Information:
“Vulnerable persons” means individuals who, because of age, disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others or are otherwise at a greater risk than the general public of being harmed by a person in a position of authority or trust relative to them. This includes children, youth, senior citizens, people with physical, developmental, social, emotional or other disabilities, as well as people who are victims of crime or harm. Such vulnerability may be a temporary condition or permanent.
“Abuse” means any act or threat of molestation, harassment or any other form of physical, sexual or mental abuse.
