“Usually, it's somebody that's close to you, somebody that you trust, that's going to do this to you, and that's what makes it so bad.”
Angela Perciful and Nadene Nicoson’s father died last September. They described him as stubborn but loving. He was a proud Marine veteran who served in Vietnam.Since his passing, Perciful and Nicoson have uncovered years of abuse their father endured.
Ohio Jobs and Family Services Director Matt Damschroder, said in 2022, adult protective service agencies received 36,000 reports of potential abuse and 14,000 of those reports were from Northeast Ohio. In the first three months of 2023, this region received about 3,700 referrals. If Northeast Ohio referrals stay at that pace or increase, it’s on track to surpass 2022 statistics.
“Things to look for are unexplained injuries, unexplained changes in behavior in terms of financial exploitation, unpaid bills, new credit cards, increased cash withdrawals,” Damschroder added. She hopes her story encourages other Northeast Ohio families to be vigilant and reach out for help sooner.
