A series of bingo events will educate DeKalb County senior citizens about the signs of elder abuse and what they can do to get help friends in danger.

The four events, which began Thursday and will continue through the end of June, are being run by DeKalb Solicitor-General Sherry Boston and members of her Special Victims Unit.

The remaining sessions will be held at 12:45 p.m. on June 24 at the Atlanta/DeKalb Senior Center in Atlanta, at noon on June 25 at the Toco Hill Senior Center in Chamblee and at 1 p.m. on June 30 at the Lou Walker Senior Center in Lithonia.
