STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - Two Statesboro women face charges after police say they signed on to care for a senior citizen just to receive his Social Security. Police say the crime is more and more common.
Police say the arrests they made this week trace back to a man they found huddled under a tree. In his 70′s, legally blind, while his registered caregivers continued to cash his monthly check.
Police call this the flip side of human trafficking - a side many of us might not realize happens every day.
