    Elder abuse reports in Missouri continue to rise. Experts still consider them an undercount

    Missouri received 43,208 reports of elder or adult abuse in 2025, a 1,300 increase from the previous year. Experts attribute the rise to greater awareness but note staffing challenges and underreporting due to fear of retribution or isolation. Tim Jackson and Wendy Bruemmer highlight financial abuse, caregiver neglect, and lack of social support as key issues.
