  1. Elderly, people with intellectual disabilities, cognitive and developmental disabilities and foster care kids (often some combination of these items.) They are disproportionately targeted for all kinds of abuse, but SVU doesn't cover that much. Many abusers like to go after kids with DD or ID problems as they are often deemed unfit to stand trial, and it would be nice if SVU covered those issues more. I've sadly met so many DD/ID adult people who grew up in foster care and had the most horrendous things happen to them. And in the news, you get stories of people adopting foster kids knowing they won't be missed and raping/killing them. Speaking from personal experience, I had a case that I think would be really interesting to see grace SVU, and it was a false accusation - but made by the police and doctors! It was such an awful experience. But damn, it would make such a great SVU episode. I'd love to be a writer on that episode. The only thing is, it'd be so awful seeing them making these types of errors, so I suppose it would be better for them to be called in somewhere else and find out about all of this second-hand. I mean, stuff-of-nightmares types of incompetence that actually happened to me and my family. But I always think, damn, that - as awful as it was - would be a hell of an SVU episode. Man, if I had a chance to write for that episode, I'd try to dig up all the police transcripts, medical reports, everything. My family couldn't get justice because of the immunity law enforcement and medical professionals get under mandatory reporting laws (which wasn't fair, because the forensic pathologist demonstrated how incompetent the examinations were.)
