And will kill me, when they catch me

They shot and killed my 17 yr old son and covered it up as suicide in Livingston parish Louisiana, with all along with all my possessions being stolen and the sheriff said,that the evidence that I have was probably contaminated. They all got away with murder, crime, human trafficking, stealing peoples properties, bank account, Inheritances

My husband (now deceased) and I bought a house at a local retirement community that advertised care and various conditions that never existed.
Their fraudulent advertising continues to this day and to add insult to injury they are using pictures of us on line to promote continued sales of said properties! We had no knowledge they were being used! We moved but they continue using our ‘likeness’ to sell properties to other unsuspecting seniors- a violation of federal law - and they are getting away with it! I reported them to BBB but their false advertising continues! Thanks for helping seniors who are being victimized! I will gladly testify to the above facts.

My hope is to see the government help seniors who are being victimized.

I am more than happy to testify to the above facts. I have documents that will show what happened and is continuing to happen. Please contact me 🙏

HELP

I am a 77-year-old retired geriatrician. I moved into a Continuing Care Retirement Community four years ago. I am enrolled in traditional fee-for-service Medicare. I am in relatively good health, although I have had an inguinal hernia repair and a total right hip replacement in the past two years. I am concerned about future healthcare.
I have become aware that private corporations are taking over Medicare (they plan to complete this by 2030) using an innovative program started by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. It is currently called ACO REACH. This program will replace my traditional Medicare with an inferior privatized Medicare type of insurance.
As an academic internist with boards in internal medicine, geriatrics, and palliative medicine (when I retired in 2009), I helped a medical school set up a geriatrics training program, and we certainly taught and worked to confront elder abuse, neglect, and fraud.
There is a need to collect stories of how privatized care harms seniors and educate the public about this program.

ACO REACH was started by Trump associates (a dormmate of Jerome Kirshner) expressly to place all of Medicare under private corporations. The initial program was called Direct Contracting. The details were worked out so that physicians would switch seniors' billings (invoices) from the government to private companies without the permission of seniors. Physicians were offered benefits, and they proved willing to switch. After all, physicians are underpaid by Medicare and feel no great allegiance to the program. This will have a devastating effect on the sickest of seniors. They will no longer have insurance. The program was renamed ACO REACH (under Biden) essentially to confuse both the public and physicians about the nature of the program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) supports this program. Only the Secretary of Health and Human Services can cancel it (according to legislation written to protect innovations). Wall Street stands to make billions of dollars (estimates are that they could keep 35% of government dollars). Politicians are being aggressively lobbied and given large donations. The public is in the dark.

ACO REACH looks to be a significant future perpetrator of elder abuse, neglect, and fraud. It needs to be publicized, confronted and stopped. Most seniors learn of the program when they receive a letter from their physician practice telling them they are now under this new program. Their only recourse is to seek new providers. CMS uses a policy of "auto-aligning" patients to ACO REACH if one physician who has provided care is in the program and their billing exceeds 10%. Currently, seniors who find privatization under Medicare Advantage unacceptable can switch to traditional Medicare (although with problems obtaining Medicap coverage). This will go away. There will be no more traditional Medicare to switch to. CMS has announced plans to convert all of Medicare to ACO REACH by 2030. There is a difference between health insurance permitting physicians to order and prescribe what is needed and having a private company that decides what will be paid for.

What is my hope? That the Senior Lobby would rise and make this an issue of national importance. Private companies use limited panels of providers, denials of service requests, and payment refusals to accomplish their goal - to profit from the government's funds. Medicare Advantage has cost the government more and cornered the mostly healthy seniors. If all of Medicare becomes privatized, seniors will either face denials of service or pay for service out-of-pocket. This is different from what most of us planned for in retirement. This is not how Medicare was set up to provide services. It will take a significant effort on the part of organizations like yours to stop this program. You will face major corporations with deep pockets, politicians indoctrinated in the advantages of private companies providing better care than the government, and a public unaware of what is happening. CMS argues that private companies will provide better care more economically than the government. The facts do not bear this out.

My role is to draw attention to the developing problem. I am not a politician and need help to understand the process of using local or national media. My submission of an article to our local paper was denied publication. AARP is primarily funded by United Healthcare which stands to profit from ACO REACH, so they cannot speak honestly. Most politicians remain unaware of the looming problem and are content to entertain lobbyists and collect donations. Most media outlets seem reluctant to publicize such a controversial confrontation.

In 2013 my elderly father, living in his house was experiencing progressive worsening symptoms of Dementia. My younger son was living with him at the time and trying to help as best he could. Son alerted me that my father was on a decline, leaving stove on, doors unlocked, etc. There were neighbors/former co-workers, a girlfriend going out to eat, bank, etc. with him. My son questioned the relationship with these folks and warned me about this. I contacted his doctors' and they both wrote notes to me stating my father may need assistance, as his health was declining and my presence would be helpful if I could be stationed nearer to him. The military was kind enough to issue me orders, shortening my tour, and allowing me to transfer to a unit very close to his home.

After several months in my father's home, cleaning, cooking, doing everything I could to help him while focusing on my full time military career, the situation became stressful. My father insisted he needed no one's help, and that he was fine. He also made the same statements after we visited his primary care doctor, and his attorney. He suddenly became resentful, hostile, and told me and spouse to move out, ASAP. I had some medical issues at the time, and had no place to go with my household goods in storage. My spouse and I ended up in an Extended Stay, in a nearby town. Then, a couple of months later my son was locked out of the house and had access a window upstairs to gather his belongings and leave as well.

As we left his house on less than favorable terms, and I told my father I would only return if there was some emergency and would soon retire to another state. These friends, neighbors, former Federal Co-workers and his girlfriend kept coming to my father's home. They were all given keys to everything and my father seemed to trust all these people, and was always showing them into the house and showing them around. He was missing my mother, who died in 2010 and liked to show off her fine silver, china, and things she had inherited from back 3 generations in her family. She still had jewelry, antique mahogany furniture, and everything she had kept from her families treasured items. There was inherited money in the bank, and my father had a cache of weapons in the house and garage for safety reasons.
I sent a few cards, tried to call him over the years, and no answer. In early 2000, there was a call from a longtime friend of the family (a nurse) who said she had received disturbing late night calls from my father recently. She wanted to know if I was aware of his situation, and I did not being that I had not heard from him since we left. The family friend stated that when COVID hit, she found him alone, dirty, and that almost everything in his house, packed garage was gone! I wanted to talk to him and see him, but knew this was not the right time to travel as the virus was keeping everyone at home. After 4 months, I got another call from an older son who told me the rest of his garage was being emptied of all of his machinery, tools, tanks, massive saws, milling machine, drill presses, years of mechanical and technical books he saved. Weapons were also taken, and values stashed in the garage.

Once I was able to travel to Virginia in early May of 2020, I was able to talk to my father, who told me, "You stole money from my banking/savings account". I asked him for details, he wasn't sure, except to say that the bank was presented with a note and other documents by someone who said they were me and my husband, and my mother's only next of kin, and withdrew all the money in the account. After hearing this I called the bank fraud line and reported my concerns, then visited the bank branch where this happened, and tried to report identity theft, and Elderly Financial Fraud. I also reported everything to local police, state police, Dept of State for my mother's missing passport, Social Services, and began making a list of all that was gone from his home as best as I could remember. Not one agency, seemed interested in helping me because I wasn't the victim! I was only his daughter, so this was hearsay, and not really considered a valid claim. After visiting his attorney's office, I found out that he knew what had happened, but also did not seem to care about the Elder Fraud and Abuse, not reporting any of this to the authorities! At one point in a follow up phone call to the attorney, he stated he was "working on it". I never received followup, nor any help from anyone in the system. This seems as if, at least in the State of Virginia, that if the victim doesn't report these crimes, then it never happened. Please understand that I do not wish revenge for the perpetrators, only justice be served on these folks who committed horrible acts of crime towards my vulnerable, elderly father. The things taken, nearly everything were family heirlooms, precious things that were to be passed down to our small, existing family, me and my sons!

If persons like these so called, friends, neighbors, a girlfriend, even Federally retired co-workers, are not stopped, they will continue to target the elderly and I believe they will continue to profit and not be held accountable until they meet their judgement day when they die. Social Services was not even aware of an online course that can be taken in the event of elderly crimes, I took the training, then asked the agency if they had taken the Online Reporting Criteria course for Elderly Fraud & Abuse, and the Supervisor at this Social Services said no!

Laws must be strengthened to protect, report, and hold anyone accountable of known Elder Fraud, by family, especially next of kin!
Reporting: If everyone is held accountable, Attorneys (especially Elder Attorneys), Health Care workers, Bystanders who suspect a crime, business vendors, banks and their officials, we might get this type of criminal activity under control one day!

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 was a victim of elder abuse 4 years ago. My son and his girlfriend were homeless and pregnant. He came to me in my Hud housing and told me this. I felt sorry and guilty for having a place like I did. They could not stay with me there, so they found a house to rent. Everything was peachy until we were in the house and I was paying. Then they told me to stay away from their refrigerator and their food. See, I paid the rent and they were supposed to provide food to share expenses. I had to call APS to help me. I moved out and the police were called by my son's borderline gf because I had some things on the curb I was not taking I was throwing away. Long story short, the movers took the stuff I couldn't and the officer was kind and advised me to never go back to live there. I should never have believed my son and his gf. They have since had the child, and custody is temporarily to her sister. Again, they came to me and asked me for help. Seeing my grandson and son suffering is a powerful way to override my common sense. They asked me at first and I was caring for my grandson but my son was taking him during the day and not bringing him back until late at night. I told CPS that I could no longer do this. They placed him safely with her sister. Now, they rented an apartment next to me, are both on crack, act eradically and ignore me or make side remarks in the hallway. I am a 65 year old with PTSD living next to them, My abusers. The police advised me to put an order of protection in and they will be out. They know this and are quiet but I am on tenterhooks waiting for the next outburst of behavior. His gf has borderline personality disorder. I will put the order in it starts up again. So me, as a disabled RN have to know that my son is taking crack next door and I can't do a thing about it. A horrible way to spend my son called golden years. If they don't pay rent they will be evicted and peace will reign again. Until then life is depressing for me watching this. But I have faith and friends to keep me going. Elder abuse is real, drugs are an element in it. That's my story.

Don't help children who are living a drug life no matter what is happening. Take care of your money and yourself because you will be used for your income and treated like trash. Let them sink or swim. That sounds harsh but it is today's reality. A person on SSD is a breathing ATM and not much else. This is the hidden collateral damage of drug users.

Elders actually have very little protection and APS showing up changed things for me. If not I would have starved and paying their way too. I also had emotional abuse but I guess that is obvious.

I want a peaceful quiet life free from guilt from my son for his mistakes and life choices. I hope I told my story well enough for you to understand it.

Contact by email with PTSD I cannot do media and am afraid of stirring up trouble with them next door.

Three days before Christmas of 2023, I signed for a certified legal letter with a threat to evict me unless I complied with certain conditions dictated by my son-in-law and daughter. They own this run-down casita that I have called home since 2021. I immediately replied to the threat by citing legal precedent and sending their attorney a copy of the checks that I contributed toward the purchase of this property. I assured their lawyer that I would contest any formal eviction myself in a court of law. Soon this esquire informed me that he no longer represented my family. At the time, I was 70 years old with no husband or income other than social security.

It should be noted that my only child was born out of conflict, not love. I fornicated with a cruel and creative man because I was homeless; I could not abort. The father of my child was pathological with money–a trait he passed on to his only child and so much more insidious than the beautiful blue eyes she inherited from him. My daughter insisted that if I did not vacate this casita voluntarily, that no landlord would ever rent to me again. Her attempt to play into my biggest fear–homelessness–was also a form of abuse perpetrated with malicious intent in my humble opinion.

During the pandemic, I contributed a large portion of my savings toward the purchase of this historic property in Silver City. An agreement was made in good faith–I would reside in the smallest dwelling place. However, when I finally set foot into that tiny space, I realized it would feel as if I were confined to a prison cell. I opted to spend the final chapter of my life in a three-room casita on this property built in 1877. Initially this was acceptable, but greed surfaced. A source of contention was my survival after my second heart surgery in 2021. My daughter asked me what I believe to have been an abusive question: “What if you live another 20 years?” I assured her that I didn’t have the money or desire to live into extreme old age. Unsatisfied, she persisted: “But what if you do?”

Despite having no criminal history, it was decided that I can no longer have contact with my only grandchild. I believe this is a form of punishment for not complying with their demands. The structures on this land are high maintenance, in constant need of repair. The resident handyman yelled, cursed and raised his hand at me in a threatening gesture. My family refused to evict or run a criminal background check on him. Eventually this angry man yelled at an 80-year-old Air B and B cleaner working on this property. Appalled and concerned for our safety, I then decided to file a complaint against Handy-Andy with the local police. Was my son-in-law's refusal to evict/background check this verbally abusive worker elder abuse? You decide.

My hope for the future is to live out the rest of my life without ever being homeless again.

To whom it may concern;

My dear elderly friend Margie L. Smith who lives in Seattle, WA, who's been a friend of my family for 80 years isn't being treated with respect, dignity and honor at the golden age of 99. She's been deliberately deprived of her cell phone so I have no way of knowing her current status. To say the least, I'm heart broken and want to shine a light on this elderly injustice. The perpetrators is her narcissist daughter a retired performing Arts teacher at Seattle Academy and son-in-law who is medical doctor, active license with conditions. I filed a complaint on June 23, 2022 with dshs and from my knowledge the investigator didn't go to the house until September 27, 2022, which give them enough time to cover up the abuse. I'm baffled at how this doctor uses multiple names and pictures to deceive the public and get away with it. I've reached out to her daughter and son-in-law asking if I can talk to her or come to see her and they sent me a text message describing criminal trespassing. I feel powerless, when challenging a physician and feel justice will not be served because of his title. My daughter and I have traveled to Seattle three times last year 2022 and the last visit they refused to let us visit, despite the police going to the house and Margie telling the officers she would like to see me. The daughter and son-in-law made false claims about me. This has been traumatizing and heartbreaking for us. We were very close, like family.
DSHS/APS hasn't given me an explanation for their delayed response in visiting Margie and there findings. I would like an investigation of DSHS/APS files pertaining to this case and how it was conducted. Please help me, help my elderly friend. If you have any questions please email or call me @773.425.8487.

Respectful,

Liza Hicks

Elder abuse is real and not only happens to individuals from low income families or persons in nursing homes. Friends can be closer than family but the law doesn't recognize such relationships. Grieving a live person is the hardest thing I've endured in my life.

I wish I was more knowledgeable/aware about emotional abuse.

That elder abuse would be taken more seriously and that elders are treated with the respect, dignity and love they deserve.

Please contact me with any questions, I have audio recordings and photos to back up my words. Thank you.

After the sudden death of my father in March 2018, my mother returned from Pennsylvania back to her primary residence in Florida. My parents also owned property in Ocean City NJ, where they resided during the summer months. Upon returning to Florida my mother redid her will and estate, as well as adding both myself and sister to both her bank accounts. Both my sister and I reside in Pennsylvania. During early 2020, she was experiencing depression and anxiety but insisted she was OK and wanted to remain in Florida. We spoke every day. She was seeing doctors in Florida and working on different medications. Shortly after the covid 19 pandemic occured my mother called me and said she was in Ocean City NJ. She told me that my sister and brother in law went down unexpectedly as a surprise to bring her up to her NJ home. A few months later she was upset that her electric bill was over 500 dollars and she told me she was calling the electric company. As my sister and her family were at the shore those months I told her that was probably the reason. She didn't want to say anything. My mother was scheduled to see a neurologist in late August. Earlier in August, my mother told me that my sister made a room for her at her house. She believed this was to make it easier for my sister to take her to the upcoming doctor appointment. I went over to see her and her room. I thought it was good for her to be around people rather than alone in Florida or New Jersey. It was the middle of covid and the only person wearing a mask was my mother in her room. When my nephew arrived he did not have a mask. Neither did my niece. My mother told me that she just stayed in her room and always wore her mask. We were both a little concerned but again she didn't want to say anything. Due to covid I was told that I could not attend the appointment only one person was allowed to go. She called me after and said the neurologist wanted some testing done, which was scheduled for late August. Although I asked my sister to please keep me informed, she did not. Most of my information was given to me by my mom. It was difficult visiting her with covid so we mostly talked on the phone all the time. After she had the testing the neurologists provided a 19 page written report, which they also went over in depth with my sister present. My mother told my sister to email me a copy of the report. She called me after the appointment and was a little upset because she couldn't drive anymore. Her diagnosis was dimentia. The report noted multiple things, one being at risk for both benevolent exploitation as well as by others. Her cognitive abilities were very impaired and she needed help in decision making. Several suggestions were made, including that she was not to be alone. It was suggested that a home care person be hired. I was told that they had it covered. However, it was evident that every time I spoke to her she was alone. My mom did not want me to say anything. Shortly after, my mom called me and said she just got back from the hospital. She fell down the steps and broke her ankle, she had to call 911 as again no one was there. She now had to have physical therapy. Then in November of 2020 she called me from the shore and said that my sister had covid so my niece took her to the shore. It was just a matter of time. I have no idea what they were doing with her at this point. I think they took her to a testing site and she was now positive also as well as my sisters husband and daughter. In December, my mother called me upset that her eyes itched and she didn't have an eye doctor in PA. Again, no one was there. I told her I would call her back and called my eye doctor's office who scheduled a tele appointment for later that day. She called me after the appointment and thanked me she really liked the doctor and he said it was common for covid to spread to the eyes. A couple days later I asked her how the drops were working and she said she didn't have them yet. I couldn't beleive it. No one was there. I told her I would go get them and leave on the step but she seemed afraid and told me no she thought someone was picking them up that day. She never wanted me to say anything. I now know why. In March 2021, she told me she was going to a new doctor in Springfield because she didn't have a family doctor here in PA. She called me after the doctor and told me her blood work was good and the doctor also gave her xanax. Knowing that medication was not recommended and specifically mentioned in the 19 page report of August 2020, I was starting to get concerned. We had plans in May if covid was less restrictive to spend some time at the shore together for my birthday. Prior to my birthday my mom asked if we could reschedule the shore but wanted me to come over on my birthday. I went to see her on May 14, 2021 that afternoon. We sat outside talking and I noticed at times she had a blank stare. Something seemed wrong. My sister came home and they were in a rush to go to the shore. My mom said things were not going well and she had 2 doctors appointment the following Monday and Tuesday. I asked her if I could take her and she said she would really like that. I hugged her and left. This was a Friday. I called her Sunday at about 10 PM, hoping it wasn't too late. She said no she was still up. Something didn't seem right and I wanted to make sure she was OK. When I asked her if I could take her to the doctor I could hear my neice in the background saying "tell her you have a ride". She told me I could take her to the next one.
Later that week she called and mentioned that my sister and brother in law were talking about buying her Florida house so she could help me. I didn't need any help and I told her I did not think it was a good idea right now. After being hung up on several times all of a sudden my calls went straight to her voicemail without ringing. My sister had her at the shore. This continued for several days and then I learned that my number was blocked from her phone. Being unable to contact her I became pretty upset. My sister then used the police to keep me from seeing her at her home and I was told that I would have to go through the court system because my sister said something to them about on going problems. Although I told the officier I was being kept from my mother who had dementia by my sister. Unsure what to do, several attorneys said that it was imperitive to contact COSA, the local agency in my area. I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to hurt my mom. I thought to myself no one can keep a person from their mom this is crazy. Then I received a notice in the mail that a PFA was denied. I couldn't believe it. Unsure of what was going on I thought I better let her attorney know in an effort to protect her estate from anything happening so I emailed the attorney informing him of her condition and mention of selling her house in which I was a 50% beneficiary. He replied asking me the names and then told me he couldn't speak to me as I was not his client. Then my phone which was on a family plan with my mom was cancelled. They had access to my phone, my mother's phone, her emails, her properties which locks were changed, and continued to isolate my mother from all communication with me. I was able to get my number back from AT T on June 18, 2021 at which time I decided to stop at both of my mothers banks to see if any changes were made. One bank told me I didn't exist and could not tell me anything else. The second bank told me that all my access was changed and I was not even authorized to make a balance inquiry, but was still on the account. He further said that if he were me he would run to a lawyer. I could not believe this was happening. At this point I did contact COSA, which was supposed to be confidential. I was told an investigation including bank accounts would be done. Then all of a sudden police were storming up my house because a call was made saying I was going to commit suicide. I told them what was going on and again was ignored. This was the first false police report. The day the investigator went to the home, the police again were called with lies about texting threats of killing myself to my mother. No such texts exist. All the while being told this is a civil matter. My friend thought I better go to the District Attorney's office so he drove me up there. The woman there was a disgrace to say the least. It was to much effort for her to write anything down let alone listen to what was happening. It was very deeming and unfriendly and this was supposed to be the person in charge of the so called "elder exploitation unit". What a sad experience. I received multiple nasty messages from my mothers phone as if it was her now accusing me of multiple criminal things and threats to file charges. I continued to receive threats from a relative in Wisconsin, which my lawyer was able to find out who the number belonged to. I noticed on facebook that every family relative disappeared, cousins I haven't talked to in years. Although, I went to the police about the false reports no one could do anything about it. What is scary is that they could actually use my sick mother to say or do anything. After following up with COSA I became very uncomfortable and hired an attorney. Til this day, my phone receives non stop messages from unknow numbers, email texts with explicite content, and all types of things. My mom was my best friend and only family I had left. When I texted my sister asking why her bank accounts were changed, they actually had her call me then took the phone and started screaming oh my god your stealing moms money. I knew now that this was real and my mother was being lied to. The worst part is nobody could help her or me. Then unsure where they had her I called to have a wellness check done. The police officier told me she was OK but never even saw her. Can you imagine. This is a person's loved one and my mother was not there she was in Florida with my sister. Knowing something didn't seem right the next day I called both New Jersey and Florida and Florida was able to confirm that she was at the Florida residence with my sisters family. That week in Florida, my sister took her to the attorney. She was actually the one who drove her there flew her there having full knowledge of the 19 page neurology report and being present at all doctors appointments knowing my mother's disease progressed, while isolating her from her other daughter, and provided a note with one sentence from a different doctor and changed everything on my mother's estate to herself and added her husband to my mothers financial power of attorney. She was now 100% beneficiary of my mothers home in Florida. She didn't stop there though. My father's pension beneficiaries were changed to her children and I was removed from my mom's 401k making my sister 100% of excess of 40,000 dollars. These changes all were made via email communications from my mother's email, which my sister had control of. It did not stop after Florida. I still am not sure about my parent's property in Ocean City. Sadly, as of today and my many attempts for justice my mother still resides with the very abusers who did this. I was attacked for contacting COSA, which I thought was confidential and treated like a criminal throughout the entire court proceeding. Every effort taken failed. No one did anything to help my mom or myself. In fact, doctors wrote letters saying that my mother said I was stealing her money. How pathetic is that. Of course, they will all be reported. Dispite the fact that a second doctor confirmed everything from the original August 2020 report my mother continues to be a victim and remains residing with the very people who did this. My mom continues to be isolated from her daughter knowing the damage caused by such isolation. She continues to be told lies about me so she will say "she doesn't want to see me" despite her progressive dimentia. So when I hear about how all this progress has been made and new task forces focusing on exploiting an elder, it makes me sick. I was forced to testify that I called COSA, which again is CONFIDENTIAL. Their own doctor who wrote a paragraph in his report of what my sister said defaming me with lies and then added his own opinion stating I sounded drunk on a phone message she played for him. This was during an evaluation in which this same doctor said my mom was fine but yet she didn't pass a single test. This is the very agency who is supposed to help my mom. My mother continues to be isolated from me. May of this year will now be 2 years. Evil does not describe what has happened. This is beyond sick and unthinkable. No amount of money can ever give me the time lost with my mother.

EVERYTHING

Be careful trust no one

How it is that a person can be prevented from seeing a parent, and for no reason at all be denied any information regarding their parent's health is unconstitutional. I would like to know how that can happen. A child should not have to pay attorney's to see their parent who they had a healthy loving relationship with. The second a person can not reach their parent something should be done immediately by law enforcement. I am sorry to say that Pennsylvania has failed my mother and myself and I live with emptiness and sadness and will probably never see my mom again. I want everyone to know what has happened to me and my mom and how every effort I took failed. I want answers myself as to how this can happen. I am not sure what my hopes are other than people who do this belong in jail. Not in civil court. There has to be a remedy of prison. I will continue to fight for my mother's justice. I want people to know the truth. Not a single agency helped. NOT ONE!!!!!! Please tell me who I can contact for help. Can congress help? Who? I would like to know.

Help me tell my story
