Mickey Rooney Warns of Elder Financial Abuse in Hearing

Actor Mickey Rooney said Congress should pass legislation to protect elders from abuse in a hearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging today.

“My money was stolen from me, by someone close,” said Rooney, 90, an entertainment legend whose credits include the “Andy Hardy” film series and movies such as “Night at the Museum.” “I was eventually and completely stripped of the ability to make even the most basic decisions in my own life.”
