PLYMOUTH — On Nov. 28 at approximately 2:32 p.m., Plymouth Police Officers were called to a
residence in Plymouth for Aaron Brown, 47, who had been bedridden for approximately 2 months. Brown has developmental disabilities that require him to have a legal guardian, his sister, Linda Brown, 69, of the same address.
During the investigation, it was determined that Aaron had lain in bed since sometime in September without receiving medical attention. Aaron was immediately taken for medical care and is still hospitalized. Indiana Adult Protective Services was also contacted.
The Indiana Statute for Neglect of a Dependent is the same for resulting in death or catastrophic injury.
Adult Protective Services can be contacted at 1-800-992-6978 or by submitting an online form at https://www.in.gov/fssa/da/adult-protective-services/. Indiana is a mandatory report state, meaning everyone is required by law to report cases of suspected neglect, battery, or exploitation of an endangered adult to an APS unit or law enforcement. All reports are secured and kept confidential.
Please note that APS is not an emergency responder; if you believe someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
