I am a senior citizen who lives in Rhode Island is a victim of power-based abuse. My daughter attacked me a fee weeks ago and was arrested. I am trying to flee but I haven't any income. I am living in an apartment without heat and sleeping on the floor. The abusers are her father's celebrant family. I need help.

I am 64 on disability yes my health is going down hill mental to I have complex PTSD.I have a trustee that committed fraud did not do roof replacement that insurance company gave him check.Now I am living in toxic mold mycotoxin home pets died I am next lost everything.hired lawyer took money did nothing.

My life life and reason to live life been destroyed I have no family so easy take advantage of I pray God I don't wake up in morning.i am tired of have my rights laws to protect me denied I did nothing wrong rule of law is a joke

That there is bad lawyers greedy lying don't care about life cruel and inhumane treatment of people that don't have recorces fight back there life has no value and gov adult protective services is a joke to don't care it's sad evil is in charge humans are few believe in good truth .

I have no future I am going to be homeless

When does rule of law apply to elders like me I have tons evidence didn't matter

My elderly mother had already made her Will out as she had a son and daughter disabled one by auto accident another by COPD and she wanted to make sure the two other adult children (I was one) that were guardians of the two disabled would make sure if anything happened to her would have the means to take care of the disabled ones. I was also POA/Patient Advocate for mother if she ever became incapacitated and other sibling POA for finances for our mother. To make a very long stiry shorter a greedy sister decided to become mothers chore person through DHS and started on a plan to put our mother under guardianship when she did not need one and had 2 sons living with her attending to some things. This sister did not get along with one of the brothers and started making false accusations of almost everybody whom she knew helped mom for many years as she was hardly ever around. We started confronting her about taking money, jewelry etc. snd she petitioned probate with slandering lies about the supportive siblings and ones mother put in charge in her end of life plans. She kidnapped mother out of her home took her to her home and isolated her away from even the disabled adult children. She recorded phone calls and monitored everything on a baby monitor in mothers room. When the court date came she had a good attorney with mothers estate and mother had court appointed attorney she did not bring mother to court as she started her on a antidepressant and started her plan to make her seem dementia wad going on. Mother had reported her to Social Security that she changed her address and bank with them without permission and mother was looking forward to tell het story to the judge. Well thst is when we realized the judge was corrupt snd along with sisters attorney in judges chamber already planned the outcome. The judge would not allow myself and other sister in charge of mothers plans. No due process was given we were not allowed to tell her mother had plans in place and did not need a guardian &/or Conservator. Whatever lies or not we do not know only that we were not able to have out day in court to speak the truth or show evidence bank records, end of life plans or anything and were treated like criminals slandered by the actually criminal petitioning the court in the first place. The worst part is our beautiful, trusting, vulnerable elderly mother was put under the racket of hospice and if you could see the picture I took of her when on rare occasion was able to pick her up to through a party for after bring with me for 2 weeks when the criminal went on vacation for het birthday the nurse could not believe she was the same person as I was not drugging her. My mother told the nurse the criminal was stealing her money, her purse and she did not even have a dollar or an ID. The nurse spoke to the criminal a year later mother was dead 58 pounds she had no heart or lung problems. Died from natural causes my ass she died from hospice cocktail caused by a greedy daughter. What I would like to see changed is no guardian petition should ever be accepted by any probate court without mediation first as that gives time fir the truth/evidence snd would have given my mother a voice or myself as Patient advocate/POA speak for her, also a judge should have to ask for these documents and put in writing why she will not honor this and lawyers should have to tell the people that a judge can void them at their own biases and there is nothing you can do about it. Put your plans on video that you do not want a professional guardian if you do not and who you want and where to find your documents or register them.

Pass Bills already written to this affect and make the judges follow the law.

It is mostly all about the money. They will still everything you worked for all your life and leave even your disabled adult children homeless.

For all these corrupt judges, lawyers, doctors, police, nurses, nursing home staff, social workers, professional or sibling guardians etc. get exposed and justice served. You could never believe or imagine the devastation it causes until it happens to you or a loved one. There is nobody immune even all the ones listed above can and do end up in this nightmare.

Save the vulnerable elderly and disabled from this abuse, because thes elder abuse tasks forces can not even pass the Bills.

I am reaching out to bring awareness to the heartbreaking story of my grandmother Margaret Jennings, a beloved mother who was betrayed by three of her own children over money and property. Despite winning her legal battle in Jennings v. Jennings, No.
B327268 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 28, 2023), justice remains incomplete. Her children were found guilty of fraud and financial elder abuse, yet they refused to pay what they owed, instead choosing to wait for her to pass.

Margaret spent the last years of her life grieving the loss of her children-not through death, but through their own abandonment. They never sought forgiveness, never attempted to make things right. And now, after ignoring her for over five years, they want control over her funeral arrangements which is being held March 4th, 2025.

Even in death, her fight for justice continues. Margaret's attorneys have been unable to locate one of the defendants to serve her, delaying the accountability she deserved. Elder abuse is a silent epidemic, and Margaret's story is proof of how the legal system often fails to fully protect victims.

This is not just about Margaret-it is about every vulnerable elder who is financially exploited by those they trust most. We need to shed light on her story to prevent this from happening to others. I would love to discuss this further and provide any necessary documentation, including court records and personal testimonies.
Please help us bring justice to Margaret Jennings and raise awareness about elder financial abuse. Let's make sure her story is heard.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

My grandmother died with a broken heart a day before her birthday

02/14/26-2/13/2025

It typically done by trusted love ones.

There should be something in place where elders no matter their financial status can have resources and help

I was courted online over a period of 3 years and then the person came to my home. I have been financially exploited, harassed, stalked and emotionally traumatized by it all. I am a senior on the autism spectrum, with epilepsy, who is a lesbian. Towards the end I feared for my own life.

I was living at home and a woman I had been communicating with over 3 years was having difficulties and I offered for her to stay at my home for a couple months, when I planned to travel. The day after she arrived she asked me to legally adopt her. She is a middle aged woman and I said “No”. She then persuaded me to have her be property manager for renters at my home and in my Assessory dwelling Unit. She was very loud and persuasive. She requested to use my computer for a security system and soon had gone onto my amazon account. I got notification next of someone trying to use of my Lowe’s credit card. She cashed in items I had bought for over $350 at Target. She asked for borrowing money. First it was small sums then larger. It came out to over $15,000. When I got home and saw my bank statements I saw that it went to Redwood Sustainability, not to Ro Pereira, who had requested it via PayPal. Then she wrote that I had gifted her the money, as a tax write off. WRONG. Redwood Sustainability I did not authorize. Then she wrote an invoice for over $10,000 for one month of ‘work’ when she had been sick most of the time and staying in my personal studio. I no longer had free access to my own belongings. She talked me into giving notice to my housemate tenants. They were afraid of her and left in a few days. She was domineering and doing set ups to get me to believe my tenants were doing bad things to my home and writing harsh emails to them. I got scared and felt trapped. Then I fired her and told her she must leave by the end of the month. She said she would stay until September 1, per the contract, that I couldn’t make her leave. After my request for her to leave she sent me email sex messages and had someone stalk me and through stones at me in the park. I can’t prove it, but I know she did because she talked about it. She brought it up. I began to fear for my personal safety. I tried to get help from the police. They were no help. They told me I needed to give her notice to vote, which could take months. I finally realized I needed to get a protection order. There is no one here in bellingham washington to help with a protection order for domestic violence unless one has had sex with the perpetrator. I needed to spend thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to proceed in court for a one year protection order. The police had not served the protection order correctly and later told me that being a ‘vulnerable adult’ put it at low priority. The officer called the respondent and notified her and then came to my home 6-8 hours later. Of course she was gone by then and had not been served the protection order. There are NO resources for elder or vulnerable adult financial exploitation or abuse in Bellingham, WA. Adult Protective Services, did nothing to help me with a protection order. Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Center, would not help me, since I did not have sex with this woman who lived in my home. There are NO public resources in this city to protect seniors or disabled from domestic violence from a person living in their home, whom they do not have a sexual relationship with, even if that person was ‘courting’ them.

That there may be state laws to protect, but in reality there is a lack of priority, interest in or public funding to protect elders. Why does the Domestic Violence center exclude victims of domestic violence perpetrators, unless they had sexual intercourse with them?!
We are vulnerable due not only to aging and disabilities, but also because we may have retirement funds, to live on for the remainder of our lives, which is very tempting and easy access, with little or no repercussions for perpetrators breaking the law.

I would like to see that every domestic violence center will provide services to victims of domestic violence, financial exploitation within the home, to include who do not have an intimate relationship with the perpetrator. I would like to have adult protective services help us. I would like to have senior centers have a volunteer who would show us what to do and how to get help. The senior center coud have someone who arranges with the domestic violence center. A volunteer could go with the senior to court. The police need to put domestic violence of a vulnerable adult as high priority. The senior center needs to have a place for the elders to go to be safe during the serving of the protection order and then arrange a plan with them to be safe at home. Someone needs to go through things with the senior and find out if there has been identity theft and help the senior report it online and to the police. There needs to be counseling and support services for the aftermath and ptsd recovery.

The police need to investigate and prosecute elder abuse and financial exploitation. They need to recognize that it’s not just the money but its human lives. Research demonstrates that elder financial exploitation correlates with shortening one’s life by a significant number of years. FTC needs to bridge the gap between states. In my case this woman has been financially exploiting in California for years. Now up here on Washington. Who knows what other states? She claims to be poor, but on reality she changes names, uses supposedly real non-profits to claim tax deduction, and is on the move.

Charlene was being taken care of my her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter would not allow anyone to get involved because she would have lost control of the money. We have shown money missing from her accounts, we have shown pictures of how she was left to live (cat shit every where she sat and laid), lack of food, wondering the streets, multiple complains about elderly abuse, the State of California investigated, found evidence there was abuse but declined to prosecute the person who committed the acts against Charlene. We have emailed every office we can think of in the State of California and you would not believe the responses, every single one stated they could not get involved. I get it, they are elected now, who cares. We have even been unable to file a police report. We are being blocked by the State of California at every move and the only option we have now is to go public with her story and pray someone will help Charlene out, buy applying pressure to the State of California into prosecuting someone who committed a crime in their state against one of its citizens. We have pictures showing this, we have bank statements, we have witnesses. The criminal is getting away............

I guess the most important part of this is what I am seeing on the back end. I cannot believe this is going on as frequently as it is. The State received multiple complaints (I believe it was over 5), I do believe the social worker that was assigned to the case did a good job in looking into the allegations, she found evidence there was abuse. If a social worker for the State finds this, how is it the State can decide not to prosecute? This is wrong. Who is protecting the elderly? There is over $240,000 dollars moved from her account into accounts she has no authority on or access to, highly illegal but it is okay with California. People need to get involved, I have on my end and in my community now that I have been brought into this.

Watch for anything that is out of the normal. When you have a funny feeling about things, follow those feelings. Do not sit back and think it will be okay, trust me, it is not okay. I am fighting an uphill battle and to be honest, I do not even think the State of California gives a hoot about its citizens, so if the State does not, and you do not, who is going to? NO ONE!!!! Again, if you feel anything is off, don't accept it, investigate it, confirm it, even doing this will stop a majority of the cases I am hearing about right now. They are going to realize you are paying attention to the surroundings.

I guess this is where my faith and hope comes in, no one should have to go through this, as everyone feels. I would hope the states take a more serious stance on the consequences to elderly abuse and elderly financial abuse. It should be made much easier to bring awareness to the situations.

We want to thank you for your platform, we are finding it hard to find any official in the State of California to care, all of them have responded with we cannot get involved. If you can believe this, the person in question is still in charge of all the money, the State of California says it is okay.

Who is Julian Glenn Coatley?
A nice man, a kind man, like his dad, a man of little words, who loves women and children. He cringles when children are mistreated and or when women are abused, especially those with mental disabilities. He is an African American male who sought a normal life with me, his devoted mother, a woman commended as being a loving mother, a mother of over 200% supportive of my dear son, Julian by all over the years who have known me.
I have always been commended as being a genuine good mother with whom my son shared a strong bond. We were always there for one another. To Julian, the words that I utter, "Julian, I love you and I will always stand by you, no matter what".
Julian and I were inseparable in public, always discussing our strong faith and values with others.
The community respected us for our high moral standards. Family activities, such as recreation, dining, and shopping, were integral to our relationship, but the matters of guardianship have deprived us of this.

Our most cherished moments were being dressed well and attending worship services together. That always puts a big smile on Julian's face. (exhibit, son in suit) Julian found solace in these services, which had a profoundly positive effect on his mental state.

He needs his worship services and the association with his spiritual family. We enjoyed so much together, the assemblies, conventions and other spiritual outings which included good clean fun.
Sadly, the matters of guardianship with its restrictive means of care have deprived him of this. To interrupt this does not align with his best interest.

Despite experiencing housing difficulties, my receipt of a housing voucher appeared to be a turning point for me and my dear son, Julian, however, what started with my asking for local government assistance ultimately led to a downward spiral of never ending and ongoing distressing events.

"We ALL have civil and human rights regardless color or race and all of us have rights to fair treatment"
A Press Release:
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE":
"African American Families Have Been Fighting For Equality In The State Of NC since the early 1800's". Discrimination is abuse. This injustice as explained below against my son is also discrimination against me as one who is associated with him.
"An elderly African American Mother and dad lives daily in turmoil as they, specifically the elderly mother. fights For her son, separated as a result of unlawful discrimination by Wake County Human Services, as found in a court of law". This elderly mother cries, "WHERE IS MY SON"?

Wrongful Guardianship, Appointment under The ARC of NC DISCRIMINATES by keeping an African American male, Julian Coatley at Risk of Abuse and Exploitation

[Raleigh, NC] - Julian Glenn Coatley, an African adult American male, a vulnerable individual, is isolated from his mother, by being held against his will by a wrongfully court-appointed guardian, with his current whereabouts now unknown.

The guardian has cited the need for him to get "used" to the relocation to a new facility under a proven negligent provider as reason for withholding his location,(pretextual)despite concerns of abuse and exploitation as confirmed by the NC "DHHS", however, evidence suggests the true reason for withholding his location is Julian's history of substantiated abuse and exploitation reports against the very facilities he's been placed in under the guardianship.

'This is a clear case of retaliation and exploitation,' said Denise, a concerned mother and advocate. 'The guardian's actions are putting Julian's safety and well-being at risk, and it's imperative that he is located and protected immediately.'

The motion filed in NC seeks to expeditiously remove the guardianship and address the alleged abuse and exploitation, however getting the hearing lags

Denise is working tirelessly to bring Julian home and raise awareness about the need for guardianship reform to eliminate guardianship abuse. Won't you please help us fight for equality for this African American family in North Carolina, a state with a history of equality against African American families. Please open this link

The Unseen: Uncovering the Truth About Guardianship Abuse the elderly. The fabricated words, the misuse of the term, ". Best interest"

The very organizations that claim to uphold civil and human rights of the disabled are the very ones who are violating their rights. A crucial point:

The term "best interest" can be misused to justify restrictive decisions. In our case, it seems the guardian's actions are prioritizing control over the individual's well-being and relationships.

Let's add this to the summary:

The guardian's interpretation of 'best interest' has led to isolation and abuse, highlighting the need for stronger safeguards and oversight in guardianship arrangements, for vulnerable individuals with mental disabilities."

GUARDIANSHIP ABUSE:
I am a 69 year old woman who looks and acts very much younger. If unlawful discrimination is abuse, then i am abused. My son is a victim of unlawful discrimination as found in a court of law. Unlawful discrimination against him is unlawful discrimination against me as ine who is associated with him.
I just started the petition: To eradicate Guardianship, a restrictive means of care that violates the U.S. Constitution, the International Human Rights Laws and the integration mandate of Title II of the "ADA". I wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

My goal is to reach loads of signatures and I need more support. Guardianship is a CRUEL, EVIL process that in Julian Coatley and his mothers experience with it, Guardianship is NOT PROTECTION but is instead EXPLOITATION. You can read more and sign the petition here: You will also be able to listen to the podcast of a critical case of inhumanity, the "Julian Coatley Story, which can also be Googled and read online. Thanks so very much.

"Carolinians on Channel 17 news, calls Guardianship a "SICK, TWISTED, process"
I agree

The kink above in the communication tells it all. Please open the link which will also allow you to kisten in podcast to the "Julian Coatley Story".

They know to know that it is a critical act of inhumanity that seriously needs the communities to intervene in peaceful protests nationwide to lead to eradication of abuse as inn Guardianship against the elderly. There are so many organizations that claim to uphold the Civil and Human Rights of the elderly, yet they do not seem to go the extra mile in fighting for the eradication of Guardianship abuse towards them.

I am truly giving all that I have mentality, physically and spiritually as I fight tirelessly against abuse towards the elderly. Guardianship abuse stories are everywhere. Carolinians on Channel 17 News here in Raleigh, NC call Guardianship a TWISTED, SICK process. The many stories of Guardianship abuse with Guardianship being a restrictive means of care in violation of the U.S. Constitution is a problem nationwide. To my knowledge and understanding, Guardianship also violates the International Human Rights Laws and rhe integration mandate of Title II of the "ADA". Again, I dedicate all of me in the fight for protection of the elderly. Please share this story as you see fit as I expose and raise awareness.

My parents were turning 84 and had many health issues. My parents owned a small manufacturing company that they owned for 50 years with the property. My mom had COPD and cardiac issues, and she required oxygen 24/7. My dad had his health issues, but he had been an avid golfer most of his life until he began to develop cognitive issues. Dad had heart and cancer issues, and we started to see signs of forgetfulness. My parents did not live large and always put money away for their retirement. My mom would pay the home bills weekly and always gave to 5-8 charities weekly as well as she believed this was very important to her. They had paid all their liabilities on time and had an 800-credit score as their financial reward for their good fiscal lifestyle.
I would still pick up my dad every day and drive him to the office and back home. My mom was a housewife and maintained the house. My dad's cognitive issues started to get worse as things were leading into a severe case of dementia.

An old friend of my late brother came back into our lives and within 9 months he used his trusted position as a good friend of the family and as a financial advisor to frighten them to make a financial choice to protect against the estate tax that could liquidate their estate if they both passed to pay the estate tax. (As we now come to understand, their estate wasn't large enough to have high estate tax ramification. This was the ploy to scare all of the seniors to purchase large life insurance policies.) He suggested they were "underinsured "and he proposed a large life insurance policy as a solution and told them that there would be no out of pocket expense. They were told this can be done using something called "Life Settlement" and that one of the 2 policies would be sold within 3-6 months on the secondary market. The sale would then pay for the 2nd policy in its entirety. Funding for all of this would be procured through a separate source. What we have come to know is that a few years before all this, the friend and advisor had committed 2 insurance felonies that he received a conviction for and only received a 3-month suspension of his insurance license and have is securities license revoked. The state never put this on the state's insurance portal to warn citizens of the state with the fact of these felonies, so as to make the choice to use the advisor for important financial decisions. Here the state is culpable for failure to protect seniors from financial fraud. As in the states own words after he paid a $10,000 fine, "he was not rehabilitated, but we will allow him to reinstate his insurance license. " The advisor cleared the path to write and get approved 2 -$2million life insurance policies. My parents had two $100,000+ policies that he advised them to stop paying and allow them to lapse. So when they passed there was no life insurance for their final expenses.
What my parents were not told is the key to the scheme. The unsuspected direction of this sinister plot was that this was a "STOLI", a financial vehicle strongly opposed by life insurance companies and illegal in our state, and yet with all their knowledge in this illegal concept, the insurance company would continue to underwrite and eventually approve the policies. This was pure negligence on behalf of the insurance company, and the insurance company's own lead attorney, after the fact, stated that all of this should have been looked at, reviewed and the underwriting stopped, so no policies should have been issued. Insurance companies are part of the first line of defense through their compliance with regards to protecting their clients when red flags rise up. They failed in this endeavor.
Also, part of this type of scheme included a large loan that was disguised as premium financing and was never explained to the elderly couples that this was how the life insurance was to be funded, and they were not advised that they were responsible for these loans. Unbeknownst to the elderly couples, once these policies are placed and the loans complete, hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions are paid out and distributed to the insurance agent, bankers, attorneys and other individuals involved. Transparency was removed from these transactions as paperwork was shuffled in front of the seniors with signatures requested with no explanation on blank pages and just told "trust me, I will fill the paperwork for you". All communication was between the bank, the advisor, the attorneys and the phony CPA "Only" on all matters of contracts, loans and other financial information.

We are told that a bank is the first line of defense in protecting its elderly (All) clients from financial malfeasance. Unbeknownst to them a new startup bank with minimal assets received their financial/credit information from the phony CPA who was introduced to my parents by their advisor. The bank that was supposed to protect the seniors, to not be part of any fraud, but instead concealed all pertinent communication from them sharing with others and when the situation became delicate to financial abuse the bank committed identity theft, forgery and willful blindness instead. The insurance broker passed on all their financial information to a phony CPA, this new bank,45 miles away from my parents( they never used another bank in their 55 years of marriage till this event), an attorney who they never met, who was disciplined a few years earlier for using his personal IOLTA as his personal piggy bank and not paying premiums for life insurance policies where he was the trustee. This was reported to the ARDC (attorney registration and discipline commission) by a major law firm he worked with. He was suspended for under 6 months. My parents were not aware of his past history, but were told they needed to use him because of his expertise in these kinds of trusts. The attorney who drew up a Special Trust and Family Trust on my dad and my mom, who he had never met, spoken with or at any time communicated with them and yet was able to get the two trusts notarized without meeting with my parents. We have recently found out how my parents were defrauded by all the thieves. The documents were brought to a notary who worked with the phony CPA. Under a deposition, the notary admitted she never met either of my parents and many times she would notarize documents for coworkers without following guidelines set by the state for notaries. Her attorney and my attorney were sitting there with their mouths open as she admitted she never saw the documents for my parents that she signed off on and notarized.
2 attorneys, who were partners, one who had been suspended for financial malfeasance and the other was a catholic priest who was laicized for child molestation, a case that went all the way up to the Vatican (noted in state documents about priest who committed child sexual abuse as priests), is somehow still practicing law.

White collar criminals, especially those who willfully abuse the elderly and other vulnerable human beings, should be fully prosecuted. White collar is the least prosecuted because who would believe a bank(owner,president and vice president) would willfully commit senior financial fraud. The CFPB found the fraud, reported it to the Federal Reserve who did nothing because the loans were secured by the home and business property. The fraudulent action of the 2 attorneys, the bank, the phony CPA and the advisor should all have been prosecuted and sent off to do time for their crimes against humanity. Instead, seniors who worked hard all their lives, saved for easy and financially successful retirement, were sacrificial lambs who struggled to put food on their table, pay their bills and afford their necessary medical needs died penniless and without the dignity they deserved. Talking about elder care is not sexy. It does not draw the same attention as talking about some other major issues impacting our country right now or the death of loved ones, the break-ups, whatever it might be. But it's important and it's essential. My parents were one of many thousands who are manipulated, defrauded and are exploited for about $8 Billion each year..This group of individuals alone defrauded my parents and at least 19 other seniors. I want to ensure that this doesn't happen to other families.
My mom's dying words were " I am the charity case, and this is not where I was supposed to die."

What we have come to realize this year with all the failures of many banks sheds light on the sheer negligence of our banking institutions, the failure of the law to protect senior citizens at every level, and an abundance of fraudulent activity that this story begins to expose. There were forged signatures, inflated financial statements, negligence on behalf of the insurance company, banking fraud and numerous other failures within the financial system. I am constantly reminded that the law, both federal, local and state, failed my family in very catastrophic ways. No one should have their name ruined or die penniless because they were defrauded when all they did was work hard all their life so they could retire comfortably without government, family or any other intervention. Everyone deserves to live their life in a dignified fashion, especially in their retirement years.

I am a 62 yo disabled woman in Kingston, Ok. I own 2 1/2 acres with my house and mine and Mom's old house. My mother was my sole caregiver most of my life. Until she was beaten to death in Madill, Ok. nursing home In 2017. After that my family was torn apart leaving me alone. But I was fine until October of 2021 when strangers come to my property and just moved in to my old home without my permission. I told them on day one they were trespassing and to get off of my private property but they stayed and and immediately began stealing my electric and water. I called the sheriff and APS and they came right out and he told me he knew them and they cook meth but he lost track of them! I told him to please make them leave! But I never heard from them again! There were 4 men, a woman and 2 children. The woman's name is Tiffany Broadhead and I wasn't afraid of the men so much but she truly is a psychopath and on researching I found her name was even on a gov watchlist. And her sister is a now an under sheriff in my my county! As time went on they would punish me every time I made them mad like move my trash can and/or use it so I couldn't. They got my OGE acct that I've had for 40 years and opened me a new one and I had no idea, it took me months to figure it out and it's still not fixed! I had to pay a 1000.00 oge bill one month! I can't afford all this! They rigged the electric box stealing mine first and that caused damage to my home so half the electric in my home has been off ever since. I couldn't get oge to understand and I've been locked out of my acct. to this day! Some months later I got a new bill with a new acct and had to pay that thousand dollar bill. I did find out her sister was a jailer! Everything just got worse from there because my brain shut down and I had a water leak and didn't know it so my home is now destroyed so I have to move because of mold and my rare lung disease and heart failure. There's so much more and one man was still here till a couple weeks ago. But not one person in DHS or APS would help me and it's been over a year and I don't understand! I have 3 notebooks of notes and would only converse with them by texts and took pics of everything! Tiffany was jailed a few months back for assult! Her sister was also just bumped up to undersheriff. And because of how I've been treated something smells there too! I went to college in aeronautical engineering so I'm not stupid! Just old and disabled and now severely abused and mad as hell! Please consider helping me. All the stress has made my heart failure so much worse and I know it can't be fixed. Thank you for your time! I'm scared to death to leave my home but I must because my pharmacy just will not deliver my meds anymore and post traumatic stress makes it impossible for me to go outside. I no longer believe that I'm in my USA because I can't fathom what in the world I'm supposed to do because these people felt entitled and my home is destroyed and no one will HELP ME!!!!!!!
Thank you!

That I'm on SSI and I own my that's paid for but now has to be demolished because of mold! And I just do not understand why my government has allowed it because I've been screaming at the top of my lungs for help for over a year! And now I'll have to find a place to live and the government will have to help me when I owned my own home! They were trespassers and should have been removed from my property the day I call the sheriff! I'm not even sure this world is worth kiving in anymore if people are allowed to do this to me here! I'm not safe anywhere!

That it's devastating to my life and my health and my home!

That the people who done this to me goes to prison!!!!!

I know I do not have much more time on this earth solely because of the severe psychological and financial abuse I endured for over a year while no one would help me! So not only did they steal my land and property, they stold my life! Just like my mother and my sole caretaker who was murdered in the Madill Oklahoma nusing home in 2017 and the same sheriff that wouldn't help me also refused to investigate her death, her murder! Something is seriously wrong here and you couldn't prove to me that I am living in the USA if you tried!!!

My father, brother, and I were close. Our father was our hero, and we never imagined he would be taken advantage of. Not in a million years.
My father married Marie 6 months after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It appeared that their partnership was equal, but no one in my family or hers knew of his diagnosis. My father made his long-term directives 2 months after they married. He named me as his power of attorney, and health care advocate, and my brother was his alternate. Their finances were separate. They had separate bank accounts and retirement accounts. Nothing they owned was joint.
Marie’s pattern of control gradually intensified as my father’s decline progressed. It wasn’t difficult to influence my father. Alzheimer’s had gradually eroded his keen judgment and every clear boundary he had set for himself. I didn’t understand what coercion was, and I never heard of coercive control until I began studying my father, his disease, and his relationship with Marie. The signs were subtle.
“In coercive control, the abuser seeks to isolate the victim. The pattern of behavior or actions used by a perpetrator is used to frighten, threaten, oppress, and limit their victim. A perpetrator will work to isolate and intimidate their partner to the point where their partner’s isolation from others and dependence on them gives them an immense feeling of power and control.”
Marie monitored my father’s phone calls with me. She was always in the background on speaker, filling in the gaps when he forgot a word or his train of thought. And never left my father’s side when I visited.
One afternoon, while watching TV with them, a commercial about receiving a check came on. It seemed to jog my father’s memory. My father asked, “Marie, didn’t we just get a check?”
She hesitated. Then said, “No.”
Alzheimer’s gave Marie leverage. As my father became more impaired, Marie grew more emboldened. In a twisted form of gaslighting, Marie turned my father’s lucid moment into a memory that never happened. I didn’t know who to believe. One morning, she left with my father, took out the trash, and put a fresh bag in the basket. I went to throw away something when I saw a piece of paper on top. I picked it up. The note was made out to Marie by the postwoman, Linda. She wrote, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail.” Marie kept my father’s mail from me, on purpose.
I discovered after my father’s death that my father’s out-of-the-blue statement to Marie, “Didn’t we just get a check?” wasn’t a figment of his imagination. His moment of clarity was a window of truth. He had been receiving, signing, and cashing many Vanguard checks.
The note in the trash from the postwoman, addressed to Marie, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail,” confirmed that Marie didn’t want me to see the IRA check expected to arrive at his home while I was staying with him during the month. There was no record of where the cash went.
Our attorney didn’t believe me when I expressed my suspicions of abuse while he was living alone with Marie. This leads me to believe that other family members aren’t always taken seriously when they express their suspicions against another family member. The fact is, coercion, intimidation, and threats against a person with Alzheimer’s are difficult to detect and harder to prove.
A person who intentionally instills fear to threaten and control another person’s actions and what they say is committing abuse. Emotional torment and isolation leave no trail when there are no witnesses or evidence. These crimes become invisible, and prosecuting the abuser is nearly impossible when the victim can’t remember or is too afraid to speak out. The first step in preventing abuse is to spot it. I discovered there are distinct types of abuse. One being isolation.
Marie physically separated my father from my brother and me. She enraged him and tried to make him break off his relationship with us. Then Marie tried to keep him in Florida at the end of his life. She manipulated a rift in his friendship with Murray and blamed it on my father. Marie stopped taking my father to the social events they both once frequented at the clubhouse in their Florida condo community. She monitored every call he made. I believe she did it because she feared the unpredictable lucid moments.

There is no good reason and no benefit to keeping an Alzheimer’s
diagnosis a secret. Even the shortest duration of time can create an opportunity for abuse, coercion, and exploitation.
I learned important lessons.
I know I could have had a better chance at deterring abuse
1. If my father had disclosed the Alzheimer’s diagnosis to my brother and me within days.
2. If I had contacted a social worker to help my father begin the process of decision-making.

Having a social worker from the onset of diagnosis to mediate advocates, family, and loved ones can help the person with Alzheimer’s in four ways.
1. Evaluation. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis comes with many decisions to make. An experienced social worker can help advocates, family, and loved ones, look at and discuss all possible solutions, not just one.
2. Communication through mediation. The structure of mediation gives the person with Alzheimer’s, advocates, family members, and loved ones a supportive environment where all can speak and be heard. The power of persuasion is neutralized.
Decisions by the person with Alzheimer’s can be made without feeling cornered or pressured by one person’s beliefs and opinions on what they should do. These meetings support everyone.
3. Documentation through routine mediation protects the decisions of a person with Alzheimer’s through validation. Mediation keeps everyone up to date on the changing needs of the person. Ultimately, these meetings will strengthen, protect, and reinforce the person’s financial, medical, and personal decisions.
4. The byproduct of these group meetings is transparency. And transparency naturally creates a system of checks and balances, which reduces the risk of financial loss, questionable changes to medical, or long-term decisions, extortion, abuse, and neglect.

Elder abuse is hard even for a physician or nurse to detect when a patient has Alzheimer's.

For example: I went down to my father’s house for the nurse's initial visit. Marie sat at the kitchen table when I explained to the nurse I wanted updates after their visits, which she agreed to. After the nurse went over each medication with Marie, she asked why the memantine prescription had a substantial number of pills left in the bottle. Marie had been told by the nurse that my father needed to take them twice daily, the required dosage prescribed on the bottle. Marie acknowledged she was aware of the dosage. She knew what the medication was for, yet she didn’t give it to him.
Memantine was the Alzheimer’s drug for memory enhancement. It was prescribed by his Alzheimer’s physician. I was at the appointment with Marie and my husband when he went over the dosage with her and us.
Marie took it upon herself to cut it in half. Memantine wasn’t a cure. It didn’t stop or reverse Alzheimer’s; it helped to improve memory and awareness.
Because the nurse corrected Marie, I thought she’d give him the accurate dosage. But I found out two months later that she had continued to cut his memory enhancement dosage in half.

My father’s cognitive impairment was severely impaired during the last five months of his life. Marie drove and took my father everywhere, including his primary care physician appointments. My father relied on Marie. He didn’t retain information, and he confused instructions. The primary care physician decided on my father’s healthcare based on Marie’s beliefs, opinions, and her narrative of me. When I looked at my father’s medical records, I discovered that the primary care physician had noted family tension. The daughter has power of attorney and is the health care proxy. She does not agree with the treatment course for the father and wife. But my father’s medical decisions were his. Marie and my father did not make joint medical care decisions. And the physician, without discussing it with me or the three of us together, made an opinion solely based on what Marie told her. The physician formed an opinion and a belief based on partial information.
• Marie deliberately and willfully cut my father’s dosage of memantine in half. My father relied solely on Marie, who was his caretaker, to give him his medications. The medication she cut in half prevented my father from having the full benefit of memantine. Studies have shown that this drug increases memory, awareness, and concentration.
This drug might have allowed him to recall a memory, what was happening at the moment, and to calm the agitation he felt after sundown. But Marie willfully deprived him of the full dosage, lowering his chances of it ever happening.
“Willful deprivation is a type of elder abuse. It means denying an older adult medication, medical care, shelter, food, a therapeutic device, or other physical assistance, and exposing that person to the risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm—except when the older, competent adult has expressed a desire to go without such care.” From the National Council on Aging, “Get the Facts on Elder Abuse.”

Sharing our stories helps us to heal from these horrific tragedies. I used the pain and anger I felt as fuel to find answers for others in my book. My father was an ordinary man. As a Boston firefighter, he risked his life to save others, and now, after his death, he continues to help protect others through his story.
I know we can protect our parents, grandparents, and aging loved ones who are in decline when we learn how.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my story.
