But what exactly is elder abuse? It can be anything from literal physical abuse to cashing an incapacitated loved oneâs Social Security check to a door-to-door scam.

Plus: New mascots have been named for four HISD schools; thereâs a new city-wide effort to crack down on hoarders; a local state senator gets heated in a largely pointless debate; and a top Astros prospect finally got called up â we discuss The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of this weekâs Houston news with our panel of non-experts.
And for all you fans of vinyl, weâll have a preview of Record Store Day.
