Cheers to the Stamford Advocate for this article that mentions how a social worker helped save an elderly man who was a fraud victim.

Leigh Bullock, 43, allegedly stole more than $26,600 from an elderly man through checks and debit card withdrawals. Bullock was the man’s aide.

Police began the investigation after an unnamed social worker filed a complaint. The elderly man was on the social worker’s case list.

Social workers help the most vulnerable in our society, including the elderly. To learn more visit the National Association of Social Workers’ “Help Starts Here” Seniors and Aging website.
