Montana's Elder Abuse Hotline Open Only during Regular Business Hours

Over the weekend KXLH received a call from a viewer who was reporting that she was being abused by someone in her home.

She told us that she tried calling the state's elder abuse hotline and no one answered.

So we called the hotline (1-800-551-3191) to see if the phone lines were being manned and they weren't.

The Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services reports that this hotline is only operational during regular business hours.

So it's unlawful to beat a dog, but you can engage in elder abuse overnight?
