Aren’t they going to go after him?FEMALE SPEAKER: The APS isn’t the police.CINDY: I just– I feel like I let down Helen. It was my fault for going along with her idea to have her son move in to take care of his grandmother.FEMALE SPEAKER: I understand how you feel, Cindy. Tell me, what did youlearn from this experience?CINDY: I’ve learned a lot, that’s for sure. I mean, between this case and school.FEMALE SPEAKER: What do you mean?CINDY: I’ve been researching a paper on elder abuse. I had no idea there wereso much abuse among elders, like this case.FEMALE SPEAKER: Did you read about the Elder Justice law?CINDY: Yeah, it’s great. It only just passed, but it’s going make a difference.

I really hope this makes adifference.CINDY: Me, too. You know, ever since I got this case and the stuff I’ve beenreading, I’ve been thinking, I might want to work more with this population, maybemove my career in that direction.FEMALE SPEAKER: Really?CINDY: Yeah. I would never have thought of it before. But once you see theproblem up close, elder abuse stops being just statistics. It gets a human face. I think my own grandparents, you know?
