Featured MNIP Agency
Disabled Persons Protection Commission
DPPC
Massachusetts General Law chapter 19C established the DPPC to protect adults with mental and physical disabilities, between the ages of 18 and 59, from abuse or neglect by their caregiver(s) whether in a private, family or state care setting. The DPPC enabling statute fills the gap between the child abuse (through the age of 17) and elder abuse (age 60 and over) statutes.
The mission of the DPPC is:
"To protect adults with disabilities from the abusive acts or omissions of their caregivers through investigation oversight, public awareness and prevention."
