In order to protect vulnerable populations, such as minors and the elderly, against exploitation, laws should be put in place requiring background checks for anyone working with these populations; establishing clear policies regulating interactions with them; requiring adult supervision; setting limits on work hours and ensuring safe and healthy work environments; mandating training for both staff and beneficiaries on recognizing abusive practices; stipulating how reports of mistreatment should be handled; providing resources that allow those who have experienced exploitation to safely access help or report cases of abuse; creating hotlines or advocacy organizations for supporting exploited individuals.

There are currently laws in place to protect vulnerable populations against exploitation, such as Child Abuse Reporting Laws and Elderly Abuse Prevention Laws. However, these laws are not effective enough, as abusers often go unpunished. To truly protect vulnerable populations, we need stringent regulations with hefty fines and long-term imprisonment. Additionally, we need more robust reporting procedures so that violations can be detected and addressed quickly. Most importantly however, we must shift the culture so that those who would prey on vulnerable individuals know that they will be met with societal censure rather than complacency or indifference.
