The abuse became concerning to my grandmother when Margie husband died, her daughter started asking for large sums of money but wasn't being attentive to her. It became noticeable to me when her daughter told her to visit with her in Seattle for a while but then she never returned and lost control of all her assets and freedom of life.

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 in Seattle 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 to the officers. 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.

I have photos, video, text messages and audio recordings.

What is important for people to know about elder abuse, neglect and fraud is that it can happen to anybody, no matter there professional background and assets. The perpetrators are not only unrelated but most case are from family members.

That all elders will live their best life with dignity, respect, love and support. I hope that one day all elders will have access to assist living care if needed.

I will like a law in all 50 states that enforce for any individual 90 years old or more bi-annual in home visits from a hospital gerontology social worker and a in hospital annual visit with a geriatrics doctor.
gerontology annual visit

Adult Protective services policies and procedures need updating and more accountability for their case decisions.

YesYesYes

I have pictures depicting the abuse my dear friend had to endure. How can I get them to you via email?

Shattered Dreams: A Three-Pronged Injustice. By Pam Trainor

I was merely assisting a former high school teacher of mine, when a half sister and adopted nephew falsely accused my of elder abuse.

It is a true story of fraudulent guardianship. I am exposing
law enforcement, lawyers, prosecutors, perjury , hospitals and emergency medical evaluations, assisted living facilities, and actual family members who have done this to their own elder, out of greed.

I was an auxiliary police officer, a volunteer firefighter, and a fire safety inspector for daycare homes and centers, with a long history of helping friends, neighbors, and family. All the false accusations could have been and should have been investigated and validated as false, within 24hr.. but they werent.

What happened to me and my former teacher...could happen to anyone... this is absolutely FRIGHTENING.

I had the resources to fight it, but it took 3 years, and the police and prosecutors maliciously prosecuted me with absolutely no evidence. They actually charged me with Extortion to arrest me, and then changed it to Elder Financial Abuse, when bank statements proved that false, they changed it to "Intent" to steal.
The felony charges terminated my job and I was unable to get any employment for 3 years.

I hope my requests (to the FBI and DOJ in 4 states) for investigation and prosecution and immediate removal as a guardianof the eldee, and of those involved, who lied and who failed to protect the senior even knowing that there was a hearing for a protective order in place, are held accountable and given serious consequences for their abuse. And that what I have exposed in great detain and supported with solid documentation, helps to change policy, procedure and training of law enforcement, prosecutors, hospitals, doctors, lawyers, and the courts. Civil liberty violations against seniors is running rampant in the US. It has to stop. Everything I write in the book is fully documented. Nothing has been embellished. Reviews have been, "it's gut wrenching" and "it brought us to tears"

YesYesYes

I have contacted (and sent a book to) local tv (wbal, wmar, wbff, wjz, Fox Nation Nancy Grace, Ben Crumb, Wect news in Wilmington NC, the Brunswick Beacon in Sunset Beach NC, the FBI, and the DOJ In MD, NC, FL, PA and TX as well as President Biden and former President Trump.

My book is avail on Amazon in ebook and paperback. I will send you a copy if you send me your physical address. The book sells for just $10, as I wanted it to be affordable for all.

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."

YesYesYes

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.

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.

YesYesYes

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.

When I first moved to Hampton Lane my life was pain-free. I could walk my property on my own without any problem. Walk out to my chickens to feed and water them three (3) times a day. Walk out to my mailbox at the street without any problem whatsoever. I was a healthy 62-year-old disabled woman. I traveled to the state of Michigan to assist my mother with her legal battle against other family members that wanted to take control over her personal affairs and her life.

On 08/03/2015, people living in the location of my home trespassed onto my land and slapped listening devices all over my windows. These people installed an electronic device on the roof of my home. This device generated a field of energy that bombarded a 3-5-mile radius of land surrounding my house. This electronic device appeared to have three (3) abusive settings. One setting felt like raw energy that consumed everything in its path. This created a very abusive environment that consumed my floors, furniture, etc. One setting felt like my whole body was being pelted with pins and needles. Some of the pins and needles hit my eyes. One setting seemed to be able to generate so much pressure that it caused disorientation. I could not move about my home without holding onto a solid fixture.

Virtual Reality software and/or technology took masturbation to new levels of sexual gratification. What the public does not know is that the same Virtual Reality software can do serious bodily injury in the hands of someone with a criminal mind. An intelligent criminal mind intent on murder and destruction. People, intelligent people, dismantled the underbelly of my home in order to install a variety of torturous electronic devices. Electronic devices with the intent to cause the house to break apart into pieces. Electronic devices intent on physical abuse to the point of crippling a person's body. People with the intent to murder the homeowner to confiscate the property. People that were supposedly neighbors.

I am currently 70-years old and do not have much hope for a future. My future looks very bleak due to the negligence and/or ignorance of law enforcement personnel. People in criminal justice classes have been taught to use Virtual Reality to recreate crime scenes for the purpose of analytic evaluation. However, in the real world, law enforcement personnel do not seem to connect Virtual Reality software enhancements that are utilized to commit crimes. My only hope is to expose the fact that the criminal justice training is being used as an excuse for blaming a victim and/or labeling them as an incompetent. I want Congress and the Administration to know that law enforcement personnel do not give the impression that they have any criminal justice education and/or training whatsoever. Law enforcement personnel are not effective with crimes that are being committed with computerized technology.

YesYesYes

This brutality from my so-called neighbors has been allowed to abuse every person that lives in a 20-30-mile radius surrounding my home. I cannot be the only person suffering with the loss of mobility. I cannot be the only victim of physical pain caused by my environment. I know that this abusive power source could end my life. I know that my fingers appear to be suffering with what looks like burn trauma, i.e., skin melting to the sides of my fingertips, etc. I know that my eyesight is being taken away without a legitimate medical reason. I know that my hands look like they have been cut to pieces with laser precision.

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with moderate to severe Alzheimer's dementia type in October of 2015. Within 2 weeks my brother-in-law and his wife (who took her to the diagnosed neurologist appointment) took her to her bank and began changing beneficiaries on accounts. Since that time they have had her sign to replace her long hired attorney, changed beneficiaries on all her bank accounts, closed out some accounts and moved them out of state, hired 2 new attorneys, changed POA, trustees of trust, revoked the trust, had her sign a new will, placed her in a nursing home and refuses to let us see her, took the farming operation away from my husband (, (who had farmed it with his father all his life, my fil passed away in 2007 and my husband continued to farm for his mother on an oral contract). We were advised to get guardianship. That fell through b/c of a technicality. We took them to court in2006, and we are still fighting to get things put back the way they were. We were told to report them to APS. we did but when APS went to my mil house, she said nothing was wrong and referred APS to her POA(her son who is taking advantage). Her son also took her to local businesses and wrote checks for larger amounts over the purchases to have extra cash. He also did not rebuild her house that was damaged by straight line winds. He put the insurance check into an account that will go to him when his mother passes away. This house was to be left to another brother and now is worthless. As I said, we reported to APS and one of her banks reported, as well as our State Representative Norrine Hammonds office and the APS office in Peria Il. that is over the local APS office in Quincy Illinois that we delt with.

Reporting to our local APS was a waste of time. My mil does not know anything about what goes on in the world, she cannot make financial decisions (this was documented by a GAL report and by several health care professionals), and her only concern when APS visited her house was where she was going to get a ride to the local coffee shop b/c that is what the sister in law did for her daily after the sister in law quit her job at a local university. This was a plan that they decided to do and has cost us money for attorneys, loss of income from the farm for 5 years and has taken a mental toll on not only my husband and myself but our 3 grown children. APS needs to talk to all family members.

This type of abuse is planned by family members and kept secretive about making changes. By the time we found out about several discrepancies it was difficult to get anything reversed. Even though my mil attorney sent letters out to all of us to leave her estate plan alone. It was what she wanted. He even threatened how the mis use of POA can bring certain charges. It seems like it is difficult to "prove" my mil state of mind and they knew it was going to be an arduous task for us to prove they had brainwashed her and get the changes they made reversed. They were smart enough to always have my mil sign all documents. I know in my heart she did not know what she was signing.

That APS can interview family members. They should have sat with us and asked appropriate questions. They should have taken into account that a bank, state rep office and a higher APS office made the request to look into this family problem. When an elderly person has dementia, they cannot think or rationalize clearly. It should not matter what degree of cognitive disability they have.

YesYesYes

We are also so frustrated with the court system. We are placed on delays constantly. We would like to be involved with making some changes about elderly that have a cognitive diagnosis and at least asking all immediate family members to be involved in decision making. APS needs to be able to talk to the elderly person without consent from the POA. They also should reach out to other family members to understand the scope of the problem.

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.

YesYesYes

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.

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."

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.

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.

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."

Both of my brothers, up until the passing of my father on 4/25/24, had been estranged from my parents and me several times, including the longest and latest estrangement between 2020 - 2023. During that time, there had been volatile incidents, for example one in public and another in my parents’ home, during which my mother stayed in her room when both sons came to the house.

Only as my father was dying did they reinsert themselves into my mother’s life. I had both my parents tested at a Memory Center with a Geriatric Specialist, as well as Home Care medical reports of my mother’s cognitive decline. In fact my brother, Victor, was pressing for an aide, stating that she had “plenty of dementia” in several of his text messages that can easily be produced.

Shortly after my father’s death, my brothers made many false allegations against me in order to mislead, control, and isolate my mother. When I returned back to work and when key friends and family were no longer at her home to support her, they began to increase the frequency and intensity of their visitations. Within days after that, they then took her to a new attorney, not her longtime attorney, and in one day, the attorney prepared and had her execute a new document that named my brothers as new POAs. These false allegations have been corroborated as incorrect by the few corroborating witnesses who testified and other actual evidence. The false allegations continue to this day.

She still believes the false allegations, My brothers need to control who she sees; they cannot permit her to connect with her long-time relationships. They know that she may have periods of lucidity and remember something and that will burst that bubble.

County Courthouse Corruption:

Rule 2.11 for Judges; Rule 1.7 - 1.8 for Attorneys
Failing to Enter an Appearance
Misleading role in proceedings
Possible incident of coercion

Several judges and attorneys in this county belong to a musical group touting their legal profession as the name of their band.

Although this may appear to be a positive endeavor at accord between rivals in the courtroom, one should expect that an attorney and a judge belonging to this band would either disclose or recuse themselves if they found themselves in the same case.

One should also presume that an attorney belonging to this band would not purposely enter a case with a judge from the same band, again without disclosure (or recusal by the judge).

Such a situation of conflict of interest carries the possibilities of unethical behavior/procedural errors, biased rulings, and miscarriages of justice. This potentially can create a web of partisanship that essentially eliminates any appearance of impartiality.

Filing a Complaint with Disciplinary Boards (for Judicial and for Attorneys): no other plan of action for Conflict of Interest.
Two different Disciplinary Boards; two different responses to the same conflict of interest complaint filed.

The pledges by the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Department on Aging to protect senior citizens will fail. There is no plan of action for Emotional Elder Abuse.

Undue Influence and Financial Exploitation are crimes that are insidious and on the rise in the elderly population.
There are some forensic psychiatrists who consult on contested Wills to a person’s testamentary capacity and undue influence (Example Dr. Bennett Blum). The death of the elderly person seems to be the only way to prove predatory manipulation rather than investigating an ongoing situation, despite witnesses, an expert report by a geriatric physician, and evidence of the predators’ history and intentions, rather than helping the victim while they are alive.

“Mental Capacity” and “Undue Influence” are separate issues; both address the issue of vulnerability (Blum).

How do you stop the cycle? The Control by Design? Financial Exploitation?

Ineptness of the Department on Aging:

The Area Agency on Aging can write a report after an incident report, but it is unclear if they have the training and the means to investigate emotional elder abuse and financial exploitation.
For example, a discrepancy between what the investigator reports the victim’s doctor stating and what the same doctor wrote about the victim’s condition in the victim’s file.
Or, a report from a call on undue influence that doesn’t mention any investigation of the allegation, or interviewing the witnesses given.

Filing for a new guardianship in order to see my mother, it has been since 6/7/24. When her neighbor tells me that she brings up my name and doesn't know why we are not speaking, it breaks my heart. aShe deserves to have dignity and the people she loves around her.
Educating others and helping others through similar circumstances, and hopefully engaging law enforcement in strategies that will help in an investigation.

YesYesYes

It is quite daunting to have called so many law offices and to hear the following: 1. Judges never get in trouble; 2. You will have to get used to it and just wait until she passes; 3. This happens all the time; 4. Your mother has to be declared incapacitated for an investigation to happen.
The information is there, but the solution is not.

I would first like to thank the Elder Justice Coalition for stating that voices and stories matter. They do. I indeed need my voice heard. I need my story heard and spoken. And, I need help. The heart of my story centers around my paternal uncle, who I loved dearly, and he was my confidant as well as my best friend. My Uncle Ed never married and didn’t have any children of his own. He in fact treated me as if I was his own child and had contributed to my financial support throughout my life. I am a vulnerable adult. I have suffered most of my life with illnesses which have disabling symptoms, and I have been unable to consistently work enough to be self supporting. Upon my father‘s passing I became my uncle’s only next of kin. My uncle had appointed me his durable power of attorney and I was co-trustee of his estate. All of my uncle’s estate planning had been finalized with the assistance of my father before his death. It was of great importance to my uncle to establish and to maintain in his estate plan the care and support for my father’s needs as well as mine, and to have this continue through the duration of our lives. Not long after my father‘s death I hired an attorney for my uncle as well as a fiduciary company which this attorney recommended and closely worked with. My objective was for these professionals to assist me with my uncle’s care if needed. My uncle was suffering with advanced symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease which had been diagnosed at the University of Washington. What ensued is a horror story. Both my uncle and I fell victim to the pernicious predatory acts of these people which included and is not limited to: extreme financial exploitation that exceeded $1 million, violation of our religious civil liberties and human rights. Antisemitic discrimination! They took advantage of a position of power over my Uncle Ed; undue influence, isolation. Not only did they prey upon my uncle’s vulnerabilities, they preyed upon mine as well. My Uncle Ed and I were lost and trapped in an unearthly system of abuse, neglect, and power, which went on for years.

Ultimately, the attorney I hired for my uncle and the fiduciary company seized control over my uncle and his estate. I had acquired documents after my uncle died that shattered me to my core. This attorney had engaged the services of Evergreen Healthcare, and in a letter to the psychiatrist with their geriatric regional assessment team, he had outlined the legal test for testamentary capacity. He wanted my uncle to be an evaluated with respect to his capacity to execute and sign new trust documents. In contrast to the psychiatric evaluation which stated that my uncle failed to meet the test for testamentary capacity, this attorney disregarded the findings and pursued and executed the new trust documents. He had my uncle sign them! This attorney also orchestrated the sale of my uncle’s house, which was my grandparents’ home and had been in my family for well over 50 years! I was never informed that the sale of my family’s home was being considered, or for that matter of the actual sale and disposal of my uncle’s, father’s, and grandparents’ personal belongings. I have mourned the loss of many items such as photographs and Jewish literature. And, I particularly mourn the loss of my grandmother’s Sabbath candleholders, and my family’s Mezuzah. This was my family’s Jewish heritage! Toward the end of my uncle’s life they had withheld where they had placed him, and when it was finally disclosed to me where my uncle was residing, my Uncle Ed‘s legs had been amputated! I had not been consulted or informed of this until I witnessed the horror that was awaiting me upon a visit! I probably will never know what caused the injury to my uncle’s legs, but what I do know with absolute certainty is that he did not suffer from diabetes, and, that the amputation of his legs is what killed him! In the weeks that followed my uncle’s death I had received a call from a social worker with adult protective services who had been investigating the elder abuse my uncle had been suffering, and she stated: “They killed him.” My uncle had been placed in a nursing center which was part of Crista Ministries. This is a very large Christian compound. I was not allowed to move my uncle to the Caroline Kline Galland home which is part of the Jewish retirement community in Seattle. My Uncle Ed was an Orthodox Jewish man, and this is where he died-which corrupt systems in the State of Washington allowed. My Uncle Ed was not buried in his prayer shawl due to the sale of my family’s home and the disposal of items which had also included his prayer shawl! I was not allowed to worship and assemble with an Orthodox Rabbi to pray and receive comfort and blessings while my uncle was in hospice. We were deprived our religious freedom and human rights in the State of Washington. This was antisemitic discrimination! Religious freedom must apply to all, equally and consistently. The case has been over for sometime now, and the statute of limitations have passed. Unfortunately, these bad actors were never held accountable for their bad acts.

The first thought that comes to my mind is the word empathy. Elder abuse, neglect, and fraud has metastasized throughout all of the United States of America, and can afflict all sectors of society. The tragedy that both my Uncle Ed and I suffered, decimated both our lives, and cost my uncle his life. It certainly altered the course of my life. And to be perfectly frank, I continue to be severely affected by the trauma that I suffered; the amputation of my uncle’s legs, the antisemitic discrimination, the deprivation of religious freedom and human rights. And, due to the financial exploitation that both my uncle and I endured, I am now very close to exhausting all my resources. In early 2025 I am facing a very good possibility that I will lose my house and become homeless, which terrifies me, and this is something that I absolutely fear that I would not survive.

My hope for the future is for the feeling of terror that I experience every morning upon rising to cease and be no more. My hope for the future is to live the remaining days of my life with my sweet black Labrador Retriever, and, to be safe and comfortable once again. This is what my Uncle Ed would have wanted for me as well. My hope and hunger for the future is that predatory acts by people in positions of power and, their use of lawfare to further do harm to victims will be stopped and punished! My hope and hunger for the future is for more of humanity to come forward out of the shadows, to protect and value the rights of older and vulnerable adults. We must work together and treat this population ethically, and to help prevent elder abuse.

YesYesYes

I continue to be determined to leave no stone unturned, and even on days when I don’t feel as though I have any strength or faith left, I pray that someone, somewhere, will hear my plea . . . I need my voice heard. I need my story heard and spoken. And, I need help. Thank you very much for this opportunity to be able to bring this personal and very important story to your attention.

May 15, 2024Shirley Hellenthal43160740-606-6118

My name is Shirley Hellenthal i am a victim and survivor of Elder Domestic Violence, Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation rape felonious assault, Theft in the amount of more than $ 300.000 having endured life threatenig medical conditions and losing more than 65% of my mobility core strength rendered helpless in defending myself, being kept isolated not being provided proper nutrition to maintain healthy bone and tissue. this was all a result of his physical and emotional abuse, neglect, rapes, sexual assault by my husband Kenneth Hellenthal him refusing to provide for me at times, emergent medical care, attending to my immediate needs of personal hygeine, hunger, medical treatment. while residing in his home as his wife for 2 and a half years. "not having a will i was worth more to him dead than alive.!" Him constantly intimidating and threatening me to do as i was told or he was filing for a divorce, kicking me to the curb, while continuing to demand i support him financially. refusing me any financial assistance. goods or services i was in need of to sustain my life from the dates of April 28, 2020 through September 23.2021 placing me in life threatening situations of taking me outside in sub zero weather wearing only a thin pair of pajams's and robe in my wheel chair in the snow and leaving me set for more than 30 minutes him leaving the premises to. him knowing i had two doors to try to get my wheelchair through in order to get back in the house. knowing i did not have very little use of the whole right side of my body and it was easy for me to slip out of my wheelchair to the floor due to the lack of my core strength and overall strength of arms and legs. He would leave me alone in a locked house for several hours through the day without providing me with any food or anything to drink. only to return if i had fallen from trying to transfer form bed to my chair or just fallen out of my chair to the floor he would grab me by my arm and shove me back in my chair then inform me i could do more for myself if i would just try, he didn't have time to babysit me. meantime if i didn't do exactly what he wanted he wanted i was repremanded for not doing as i was told. I have lost more than three fourths of everything i have worked for my entire life and including my life from suffering from chronic hypertension, tachycardia, angina, and chronic stage III Kidney disease, in danger of having a heart attack of which i have suffered two, or a stroke, and acute renal failure. i have documentation to these facts. I will soon to be 75 years old in June of this year. not being afforded by local law enforcement, Adult Protective serivces, or the prosecutors. my victims rights or my civil rights under law. I have never been allowed to give a victim's impact statement or bring forward any of the pictures, medicial documentation as to the facts of my situation. only he has been interviewed and allowed to give statement after i had filed reports with these agencies. since october of 2020 i have been sent back and forth between my counties agencies to file reports and give my documentation to no avail.

My primary care physician had been trying to place me in a skilled nursing rehab facility since September of 2020 when i had lost my ability to balance and walk without assistance after having lost more than 50 pounds in less than 5 months and my blood work was reading as being malnutritioned. i was scheduled for nerve blocks by my pain managment doctor on november 24, 2020 and was not able to receive the treatment due to experiencing severe tremors and being in a state of anxiety, fear, and panic and trauma. stating to THE DOCTOR i had been forceably raped on November 17,2020. 20 minutes after being served with papers of a fault based divorce against me. social workers from the hospital failing to recognize the seriousness of my situation AND A STATE OF TRAUMA sent me back home with him to endure another whole year of sexual assaults, abuse and neglect. my primary care physician finally managed to order home health care beginning on December 03,2020 to provide me with the care i desperately needed and hopefully curtail his abuse with health professionals keeping him under a watchful eye. i was beginning to be fed more often. but he was still leaving me alone for periods of time unattended. and he would not cooperate with requests for handicap equipment and daily involvement of essential care i needed, or he made himself unavailable for them to talk to. this information is documented by the nurses and physical therapists that were in and out of the home numerous times throughtout the week....on June 12th he stormed into my room and informed me that all home health was to stop. there was not another nurse, physical therapist, home health aide, friend or otherwise to step foot in his house. there was to be no one but him to come or go was that understood! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR! THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING MY SITUATION HAD ALL BEEN DURING THE COVID OUTBREAK SO IT WAS EASY FOR HIM TO KEEP ME ISOLATED FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY. i HAVE BEEN REACHING OUT FOR INTERVENTION OF ANY KIND AND CRISIS HOTLINES by PHONE SINCE JUNE OF 2020 AS THIS WAS MY ONLY SOURCE OF COMMUNICATION . ON SEPTEMBER 16 2021 I MADE CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENCY IN GIVING THEM ALL MY INFORMATION AND THEY BECAME INVOLVED IN TRYING TO FIND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO GET ME OUT OF THE HOME. There were no handicap facilities within a 50 mile radius of Fayette County or in the county itself. but they would keep trying. there still were no vacancies in skilled nursing facilities at this time. on or about september 19, 2021 he tried to force me to have oral sex but i was unable to hold myself upright on the edge of the bed so he undressed me and masturbated himself until he ejaculated on my pubic area....September 20,2021 he took me outside in my wheelchair after building a fire in the fire ring stating i needed some fresh air and asked me if i would like to roast hogs. I DIDN'T NOTICE HE HAD REMOVED THE FOOT RESTS OFF MY CHAIR UNTIL HE ROLLED ME RIGHT UP TO THE FIRE TILL THE WHEELS WERE TOUCHING THE RING AND THEN HE LEFT ME THERE. ME SCREAMING MY HEAD OFF TO COME BACK AND HELP ME. THE LONGER I SAT THE HOTTER THE FIRE BECAME. I FINALLY MANAGED TO WORK MY TOES GRADUALY UP THE SIDE OF THE FIRE RING LIFTING MY LEFT LEG TILL I GOT MY FOOT ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE RING AND WITH MY HANDS ON THE WHEELS OF MY CHAIR WAS ABLE TO SHOVE MYSELF BACKWARD. I HAD TRIED TO JUST ROLL MYSELF BACKWARD BUT FOR SOME REASON THE GRASS WAS WET AND I COULDN'T GET TRACTION TO ROLL. STILL SCREAMING FOR HIM TO HELP ME. i MANAGED TO ROLL MYSELF BACK TO THE DECK STEPS AND HAD TRANSFERRED MYSELF TO THE SECOND OF FOUR STEPS HE CAME FLYING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS DOING GRABBED ME BY THE RIGHT ARM LIFTING ME OFF MY FEET AND SHOVED ME BACK INTO MY SEATED WALKER SITTING ON THE DECK. IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS BACK ON THE DECK I SAW THE GARDEN HOSE LAYING IN THE YARD. CLOSE TO THE FIRE RING. STATING HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING NICE FOR ME I DIDN'T APPRECIATE ANY THING HE TRIED TO DO FOR ME. SEPTEMBER 23. 2021 I HAD SOILED MY BED FROM HAVING LOST CONTINENCE FROM DAMAGING MY LUMBAR SPINE FROM FALLS AND LACK OF PROPER NUTRITION NEEDING SURGERY. I COULDN'T ALWAYS FEEL OR SENSE WHEN I HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. I HAD ASKED HIM TO PLEASE HELP ME SHOWER AND TO CHANGE MY BED. HE INFORMED ME HIS BACK HURT IT WAS HARD FOR HIM TO BEND OVER AND HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME. WE BOTH HAD QUEEN SIZE BEDS AND HE CHANGED HIS SHEETS AND DID HIS LAUNDRY EVERY WEEK. I HAVE PICTURES TO THAT FACT. SO LIKE SO MUCH OF THE TIME I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. I FELL WHEN TRANSFERRING MYSELF FROM MY SEATED WALKER TO THE SHOWER.

THESE WITNESSES WILLING TO TESTIFY IN COURT WITHOUT BEING COURT ORDERED BUT NEVER CALLED TO GIVE THEIR TESTIMONY. I COULDN'T AFFORD DEPOSITIONS SO MY ATTORNEY TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO WAIVE MY RIGHTS TO WITNESSES. SORRY, LOST FOCUS AND GOT AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS SEPTEMBER 23. 2021. I CALLED MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, AND STATED I WAS AFRAID HE WAS GOING TO KILL ME. AND THEY CALLED ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES FOR THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT TO DO A WELL CHECK OF AN ELDER DISABLED PERSON NEEDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

WHEN THE DEPUTY ENTERED THE HOME THROUGH THE BACK DOOR HAVING COME THROUGH THE GARAGE. HE MADE VERBAL CONTACT WITH ME WHILE COMING DOWN THE HALL BEFORE ENTERING MY BEDROOM . HIS WORDS WERE GEORGE HELLENTHAL, HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM? HE WASN'T THERE TO DISCUSS HOW I KNEW MY FATHER IN LAW.

I HAD MET WITH THE WITNESS ADVOCATE FOR THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE TWICE THE END OF DECEMBER OF 2021 AND GIVEN HER STATEMENT OF THE FIRST RAPE ON NOVEMBER 17,2020 WHEN HE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO COMFORT ME, SO HE SAID BY TAKING OFF HIS CLOTHES AND GETTING INTO BED WITH ME AND FORCING HIS FINGERS INTO MY VAGINA SCRAPING AT MY INSIDES WITH ME SCREAMING FOR HIM TO STOP HE WAS HURTING ME. MY BLEEDING FOR 5 DAYS AFTER THE FACT. AND REFUSING ME MEDICAL ATTENTION THE FOLLOWING DAY. STATING I WAS PROBABLY JUST HAVING MY PERIOD. MY INFORMING HIM WHAT WOMAN OVER 70 YEARS OF AGE STILL HAS PERIODS. THEY DON'T! I HAD A PARTIAL HYSTERECTOMY WHEN I WAS 38 AND AT 44 MY PERIODS HAD STOPPED. I WENT THROUGH THE CHANGE EARLY. HE KNEW ALL THAT. SINCE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE AGENCIES AND PEOPLE I HAVE MENTIONED. ONLY THE DOCTORS AND MEDICAL STAFF ARE STILL IN THEIR POSITIONS. ALL THREE OF THE STAFF I WAS IN CONTACT WITH OF THE LOCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NETWORK. PEACE HOUSE ARE NO LONGER IN THEIR POSITIONS INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR THE CASE MANAGER WITH APS WHO INTERVIEWED ME IN FEBRUARY OF 2022 IS NO LONGER WITH THE AGENCY. THE WITNESS ADVOCATE WITH THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE IS NO LONGER IN THAT POSITION SUPPOSEDLY SHE TOOK A POSITION OF ADVOCACY WITH THE FRANKLIN COUNTY VICTIMS UNIT. I HAVE FILED A REPORT OF THE FIRST RAPE ON AUGUST 9,2022 AFTER FIRING MY FIRST ATTORNEY FOR NOT BRINGING FORWARD A MOTION AMENDING MY ANSWER TO COMPLAINT AND REFUSING TO NOTIFY THE COURT OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ELDER ABUSE I HAD SUFFERED. THAT REPORT WAS THE ONLY REPORT THAT WAS CLOSELY ACCURATE TO WHAT I HAD ENDURED AND DOCUMENTED TO THE TRUTH . INCLUDING DEPUTY BENNETT ALSO MAKING NOTATION ON THE LAST PAGE OF THAT REPORT. ASSAULT,, ASSAULT, HOMICIDAL CIRCUMSTANCES. ON MORE THAN ONE COUNT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY FURTHER CONTACT WITH DEPUTY BENNETT. HE SEEMS TO HAVE ALSO DISAPPEARED. DEPUTY HAVENS RESPONDED TO ANOTHER WELL CHECK AT MY CURRENT RESIDENCE ON FEBRUARY 06.2022 HE ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO ANOTHER DEPUTY JACKSON RESPONDING. I WAS INFORMED BY DEPUTY JACKSON THAT PEOPLE DO NOT CALL AND BOTHER THE SHERIFF WITH REPORTS OF ANY KIND....HE IS A BUSY MAN. I WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD SAY I YANKED HIM UP BY THE ARM AND HAD PHYSICALLY ABUSED HIM BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT TRUE. I HAD TOLD DEPUTY HAVENS THAT A WELL CHECK HAD BEEN DONE WHEN I WAS STILL RESIDING IN MY HUSBANDS HOME AND IT HAD BEEN REPORTED AS A CASE OF MY MENTAL ILLNESS AND THERE HAD BEEN NO MENTION OR DOCUMENTATION TO MY NEED FOR USING HANDICAP EQUIPMENT OR WAS THERE ANY MENTION OF MY HAVING RECIEVED HOME HEALTH CARE. OR THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF MYSELF OR MY LIVING CONDITIONS AND APS HAD NOT BEEN INVOLVED. WHEN I HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE HOME BEING IN AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT .....DEPUTY HAVENS STATED YES...I KNOW THAT WAS ME. I OFFERED THEM THE PORTFOLIO OF THE PICTURES AND MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION AND WAS TOLD TO HANG ON TO IT. THEY BASICALLY INTIMIDATED AND HUMILIATED BOTH MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER WHILE THERE THEN EXCUSED THEMSELVES IF THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE. AGAIN THERE WAS NO MENTION OF MY LIVING CONDITIONS WHICH WE ARE LIVING IN A HOUSE UNDER COMPLETE RENOVATION. WE HAD NO MAIN OPERABLE HEAT SOURCE AND NO KITCHEN. WITH MINIMAL FURNISHINGS. BROKEN WINDOWS WITH ICE FORMING ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. WALLS UNFINISHED MOST OF THE TRIM AND FININSH WORK LEFT UNDONE BY CONTACTORS LEAVING ME TO BRING SUIT AGAINST THEM STILL TRYING TO COLLECT DAMAGES THEY HAVE CAUSED. IT WASN'T UNTIL GETTING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL INVOLVED IN A THREE WAY CONVERSATION WITH HIS OFFICE AND APS THAT I GOT THE KITCHEN INSTALLED COMPLETED IN DECEMBER OF 2022 AND A FURNACE I BELIEVE WAS COMPLETED IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF 2022. THEN AGAIN MY HUSBAND KNEW HE HAD FORCED ME TO SELL PROPERTY AT A MAJOR LOSS TO PAY FOR ALL MY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM WHILE STILL IN HIS HOME. AND TO PROVIDE A ROOF OVER MINE AND MY DAUGHTERS HEAD. MY HUSBAND KNEW I HAD PURCHASED A LEMON IN NEED OF A WHOLE NEW WATER, ELECTRICAL , HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS TO MAKE THE HOUSE HABITABLE. I CLOSED ON THE HOUSE ON AUGUST 30TH 2021 AND HE WAS DEMANDING I BE OUT OF HIS HOUSE BY THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER 2021. BY STATING IF I WASN'T HE WAS HAVING ME REMOVED AND FILING A DIVORCE AGAINST ME. HE COULDN'T AFFORD TO HELP ME BESIDES, HE DIDN'T OWE ME ANYTHING WE HADN'T BEEN MARRIED LONG ENOUGH. OF COURSE I HAD BEEN BEING INTIMIDATED BY THOSE WORDS SINCE. JUNE OF 2020. HE HAD BEEN PROMISING ME AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME BY TAKING ME TO THE PROPERTY I OWNED IN GALLIA COUNTY. TO MEET WITH LOGGERS TO DO A SELECT CUT OF TIMBER SO I WOULD HAVE THE MONEY TO MOVE FORWARD AND PROVIDE FOR MYSELF. BUT I SOON LEARNED THESE WORDS WERE JUST AS EMPTY AS THE WORDS HE HAD SPOKEN TO ME ABOUT RESPECTING ME, LOVING ME, AND HAVING SO MUCH ADMIRATION FOR MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN GETTING ME TO TRUST HIM AND MISLEADING ME IN GETTING ME TO THE ALTAR. IT IS MY FEELING NOW HE ONLY HAD DESIGNS ON MY ASSETS AND WHAT I REPRESENTED FINANCIALLY. ON APRIL 28TH 2020 HIS EXACT WORDS WERE I NEVER LOVED YOU, I REALLY HAVE NEVER FOUND YOU THAT ATTRACTIVE. I WANT A DIVORCE. MY RESPONSE WAS THAT OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL DEVISTATION. I ASKED, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO I GAVE UP PRACTICALY ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS TO BE YOUR WIFE. DO YOU REALIZE THE SITUATION YOU HAVE PUT ME IN? I DON'T HAVE ANY FURNITURE, NO HOUSEHOLD GOODS, NO APPLIANCES. IT'S LIKE I AM GOING TO HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. LIKE A KID RIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL. HE MADE IT CLEAR THEN HE WASN'T GOING TO HELP ME. I WAS A SMART WOMAN I WOULD FIGURE IT OUT. KNOWING I DIDN'T HAVE A WILL, HE HAS KNOWN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I WORTH MORE TO HIM DEAD THAN I WAS ALIVE. KNOWING I HAD MORE THAN $ 500,000 IN REAL ESTATE AND HAVING LESS THAN $60,000.00 IN DEBT. HE STARTED STRIPPING ME OF FINANCES IN GETTING ME TO PAY FOR THE WEDDING USING MY CREDIT CARDS WITH THE PROMISE HE WOULD PAY ME BACK WHILE HE WAS ACQUIRING CREDIT CARDS AND CHARGING $ 5000.00 IN PURCHASES I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT FOR BECAUSE HE DID NOT PROVIDE ACTIVITY PAGES TO HIS DEBT IN DISCOVERY. I HAVE LEARNED HE HAS THE CUNNING OF A SNAKE PROMISING TO HELP ME ON ONE HAND THEN TAKING IT AWAY THE OTHER. HE KEPT ALL THE CASH WE RECEIVED AS WEDDING GIFTS INCLUDING THE WEDDING GIFTS. TOTALING $ 1000.00 IN CASH. HE HAS KEPT A PORTION OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS TELLING ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THEM WHEN I WAS GIVEN A DATE OF MAY 29 2023 TO HAVE MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS REMOVED FROM HIS HOME OR IF I DIDN'T THEY WERE TO BE SET TO THE CURB. THAT WAS THE MAGISTRATES ORDER. I WAS FORCED TO COME TOGETHER IN JOINT STIPULATIONS OF AGREEMENT AND FACTS IN CONCLUSION OF LAW WITHOUT REALIZING THAT WAS WHAT HAD BEEN ORDERED AND HAPPENING AT THE LAST TRIAL MAGISTRATE RENDERING A DECISION WITHOUT HAVING ALL DISCOVERY AND DISCLOSURE OF HIS BANK STATEMENTS, ASSETS, CREDIT CARDS. AND FINIALIZING A FINANCIAL WORKSHEET WITHOUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION MY FINANICAL LOSSES OF MEDICAL COSTS . THE LOSSES FROM SELLING OF REAL ESTATE BELOW MARKET VALUE AND ASKING PRICE, OR THE LOSSES OF PAYING BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE CAPITAL GAINS TAXES FROM NOT REINVESTING THE MONIES FROM THE SALE WITHIN THE 45 DAYS MANDATED OR THE MAGISTRATE NOT QUESTIONING WHY I WOULD WAIVE MY RIGHTS TO WITNESSES. WHY, I HAD DESCRIBED NEEDING 3 SURGERIES TO REPAIR DAMAGES DONE TO MY BODY WHY I HAD CLAIMED PHYSICAL AND VERBAL ABUSE. WHY SHE WAS STATING SHE WAS NOT A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL INSTEAD OF ASKING WHAT DOCUMENTATION DO YOU HAVE IN SUPPORT OF YOUR CLAIMS OR DO YOU HAVE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS OR EXPERTS WHO WILL COME FORWARD WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN SUPPORT OF YOUR CLAIMS WHY HAD HE NOT BEEN QUESTIONED AS TO WHAT MY MEDICAL CONDITIONS I SUFFERED WITH WHEN I HAD BEEN QUESTIONED REPEATEDLY BOTH IN PRETRIAL AND TRIAL AS TO WHAT KNOWLEDGE I HAD OF HIS MEDICAL CONDITIONS. AND HE WAS QUESTIONED ABOUT HIS OWN MEDICAL CONDITIONS. WHICH DIVORCE LAW STATES THAT EACH PARTY SHALL BE ABLE TO LIVE LIFE IN A MANNER OF WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO LIVING. WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT THE CASE OF MY SITUATION. IN THE BRIEF TWO HOURS OF TWO YEARS OF THAT MY ATTORNEY WAS CASE IN CHIEF SHE DID MANAGE TO IMPEACH HIM FOR NOT DISCLOSING OWNERSHIP OF HIS PARENTS PROPERTY HIM NOT HAVING LISTED IT ON HIS AFFIDAVITS. HE WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE GUILTY OF DISSIPATION OF MARITAL FUNDS BY GAMBLING ON A WEBSITE. YET, THE MAGISTRATE DIDN'T FEEL HE WAS INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM THE COURT WHEN I HAD PICTURES OF 4 PAGES OF ASSETS HE HAD NOT DISCLOSED ON HIS AFFIDAVITS. AND PICTURES AND A WHOLE PAGE OF PURCHASES HE MADE DURING THE MARRIAGE. A FINANCIAL WORKSHEET I HAD PROVIDED OF MY LOSSES AND NUMEROUS MEDICAL BILLS WERE OBJECTED TO AS HERESAY, BECAUSE THEY HAD MISLED THE THE COURT FROM THE BEGINNING THAT WE HAD LIVED SEPPARATE AND APART AND WERE ESTRANGED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE MARRIAGE WITHOUT MY ATTORNEYS OBJECTING TO THIS STATEMENT MY HAVING DOCUMENTATION TO THIS STATEMENT AS FALSE. HE VISITED MY BEDROOM DAILY SOMETIMES UP TO THREE TIMES A DAY FROM OCTOBER 6. 2019 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 23,2021. UNLESS HE OR MYSELF HAD BEEN HOSPITALIZED. THAT WAS NEVER OBJECTED TO BEING ENTERED AS FACT. HOW WAS IT I HAD SO MANY PICTURES WHEN I HAD BEEN IN SUCH A DIMINISHED STATE OF HEALTH. I HAD A VERY CARING FRIEND AND CARE GIVER WHO TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO TAKE PICTURES HAVING SEEN HERSELF HIS ABUSE AND NEGLECT AGAINST ME. BESIDES THE SHERIFFS REPORTS ON OR ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF JULY OF 2023 I TRIED TO FILE A SWORN AFFIDAVIT WITH THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF A WITNESS HAVING KNOWLEDGE TO FELONY CRIMES WHILE A RESIDENT OF HIS HOME AS HIS WIFE COMMITTED AGAINST ME. OFFERING TO BRING FORWARD ALL DOCUMENTATION IN SUPPORT OF MY CLAIMS OUTLINING EVERY CRIME ACCORDING TO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE OHIO REVISED CODES. RAPE, FELONIOUS ASSAULT, FAILING TO PROVIDE FOR FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED PERSON. THE GOODS AND SERVICES REQUIRED BY LAW AS A CAREGIVER. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY, EXTREME CRUELTY, ELDER ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND FRAUD, THEFT BEING OVER $ 150,000.00 DOLLARS. ABDUCTION FROM BEING CONFINED TO MY BEDROOM, AND ISOLATED FROM MY FAMILY, MENACING BY STALKING DUE TO THE CONFINEMENT, AND THE VERBAL THREATS HE BOMBARDED ME WITH DAILY....STOP THAT CRYING I SAID STOP IT RIGHT NOW, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR! YOU COULD DO MORE FOR YOURSELF IF YOU WOULD JUST TRY! I'M NOT CALLING ANYONE! AND BY GOD YOU BETTER NOT EITHER! I'M NOT HELPING YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND! THAT AFFIDAVIT HAS BEEN LAYING ON THE PROSECUTORS DESK NOW FOR ALMOST A YEAR HIM STILL REFUSING TO LOOK AT MY DOCUMENTATION PORTFOLIO. I HAVE NUMEROUS E-MAILS IN REQUESTING INTERVIEW TO GIVE VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT. ACCORDING TO MR. WEADE I HAVE BEEN HEARD. HE MET WITH ME IN JANUARY OF 2022 REFUSING TO TAKE MY PORTFOLIO AFTER HE HAD SHOVED A COPY OF THE OHIO REVISED CODE2709.02 RAPE. ACROSS HIS DESK AFTER HAVING UNDERSCORED THE FIRST SENTENCE. READING THE SENTENCE UNDERSCORED I STATED. SO WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME IS IT'S OK IN OHIO FOR A HUSBAND TO RAPE HIS WIFE. HE STATED BACK THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TELLING YOU. I CONTINUED. WHAT ABOUT THE ELDER ABUSE HE STOPPED ME AND STATED HE HAD TO BE ABLE TO PROVE BEYOND DOUBT THAT WHAT I STATED WAS TRUE. I POINTED OUT THE PORTFOLIO I HAD LAID ON THE CORNER OF HIS DESK AS I HAD ROLLED INTO HIS OFFICE IN MY SEATED WALKER AND PLACED IT THERE. HE CONTINUED BY STATING THAT WHAT I WOULD BE DESCRIBING COULD NOT BE MORE THAN MISDEMEANORS AND HE REFERRED ME TO THE PROSECUTOR MARK PITSTICK WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT SYSTEM. AT THIS MEETING ALEX CRABTREE THE ADVOCATE I HAD GIVEN STATEMENT OF THE RAPES AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO IN LATE DECEMBER OF 2021 WAS SETTING ACROSS FROM ME JUST STARING AT ME TEARS WELLING IN HER EYES AS TO WHAT SHE WAS HEARING WHAT MR. WEADE WAS TELLING ME. AND LIKE A STATUE WITH HER HANDS TIED KNOWING THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO. IN JULY OF 2023 I OBJECTED TO THE MAGISTRATES DECISION AGAIN BY SWORN AFFIDAVIT STATING IN THOSE PAGES, CRIMINAL OFFENSES AND COPYING AND PASTING OHIO REVISED CODES PERTAINING TO RAPE, FELONIOUS ASSAULT, FAILURE TO PROVIDE FOR A FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED PERSON THE GOODS AND SERVICES. I ALSO COPIED AND PASTED OHIO REVISED CODE. AND CIVIL RULE CONCERNING SHAM LEGAL PROCESS, WHEN AN ATTORNEY IS COMPLICIT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR CLIENT COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT AND BEFORE A MAGISTRATE GIVING FALSE STATEMENT BEFORE THE COURT CASE NO: 20210280 KENNETH HELLENTHAL VS. SHIRLEY HELLENTHAL. MY HUSBAND WITH REPRESENTATION OF COUNSEL HAD SET THE DIVORCE IN MOTION TO PREVENT HE HIMSELF FROM BEING PROSECUTED FOR THE CRIMES HE HAD COMMITTED AGAINST ME WHILE IN HIS HOME. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 29 PAGES TO MY OBJECTIONS WHICH THE JUDGE CONSTRUED AS RAMBLINGS. I HAVE SUBMITTED TRANSCRIPTS AS WELL AS AN AFFIDAVIT OF POVERTY WITH THE COURT WHICH I WAS REPREMANDED IF I DID NOT WANT THOSE AFFIDAVITS PART OF PUBLIC REVIEW I SHOULD HAVE MADE PROVISIONS FOR NON DISPLAY TO THE PUBLIC. THE JUDGE AFTER STATING HE HAS FAMILARIZED HIMSELF WITH THE CASE HE IS HOLDING TO THE MAGISTRATES DECISION. WHAT ABOUT, MY BEING GRANTED A DIVORCE DUE TO PLAINTIFF MY HUSBAND ADMITTING GUILT OF EXTREME CRUELTY IN STIPULATION AND OF GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY IN FACTS OF FINDING IN CONCLUSION TO LAW WHEN I'M NOT THE ONE WHO INTIALLY FILED THE DIVORCE COMPLAINT. HELLO! WHAT WOULD MAKE THE JUDGE NOT REALIZE A WHOLE LOT OF SOMETHINGS HAS BEEN OBSCURED AND OMITTED FROM TESTIMONY OR MISREPRESENTED IN SOME WAY. THANK GOD THE JUDGE MADE IT AN APPEALABLE ORDER. WHICH IS WHAT I AM WORKING ON NOW. MY CAREGIVER THAT TOOK THE MAJORITY OF THE PICTURES WAS NEVER CALLED TO GIVE TESTIMONY NONE OF THE 7 WITNESSES INCLUDING HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WERE NOT CALLED TO GIVE TESTIMONY. IT HAS BEEN ALLOWED THAT MY HUSBAND/ OFFENDER, THROUGH REPRESENTATION OF COUNSEL HIS ATTORNEY THROUGH WEAPONIZING THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO VICTIMIZE ME AND CONTINUED TO CAUSE ME PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND FINANCIAL HARM. TO THE TUNE OF $23,000.00 IN ATTORNEY FEES NOT COUNTING FILING FEES AND OFFICE SUPPLIES PAPER, INK, FILE FOLDERS, ETC. THAT'S PROBABLY CLOSE TO ANOTHER $ 3,000.00 THIS HAS BEEN A TOTAL NIGHTMARE AND I HAVE ONLY GIVEN YOU A PARTIAL DESCRIPTION OF EVERYTHING THAT TRANSPIRED TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF MY SITUATION.

THAT YOU CAN HAVE KNOWLEDGE OR BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS AND STILL NOT KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THAT PERSON. THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE AGENCY'S IN OPERATION TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AND SERVICE TO ELDER PERSONS OR PERSONS OF ANY AGE FOR THAT MATTER. THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THOSE AGENCIES MAY NOT ALWAYS TAKE THEIR JOBS SERIOUSLY IN PERFORMING THE DUTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR POSITIONS OR THEY HAVE TAKEN SWORN OATH TO PROVIDE. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED THE PROTECTION UNDER LAW OR FROM YOUR LOCAL AGENCIES. PLEASE, UNDERSTAND YOU ARE IMPORTANT IF TO NO ONE ELSE OTHER THAN YOURSELF. DO NOT GIVE UP. BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN RISE ABOVE ALL THAT YOU HAVE ENDURED. EVERYONE IN THESE POSITIONS HAS SOMEONE THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO. DON'T BE AFRAID TO RESEARCH AND EXPLORE EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE IN OBTAINING HELP FOR YOURSELF. HAVE FAITH IN GOD THAT YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO HIM AND IS GIVING YOU LIFE TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD FOR A PURPOSE. AND BE HUMBLE HE IS PROVIDING YOU WITH BREATH TO DO SO.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP AND OUT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE BECAUSE THEY LOST THEIR BATTLE WITH THEIR OFFENDER.

I PRAY FOR GOD TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ME THE COURAGE AND HEALING TO OVER COME MY AFFLICTIONS AND GIVE ME THE STRENGTH AND THE VOICE TO ADVOCATE FOR ALL PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEX CRIMES, AND ELDER ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND EXPLOITATION. BEING AFFORDED THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE REACHING OUT TO LEGISLATURE, IN CHANGING LAWS, TO INSURE THAT THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION IS PROVIDED TO THOSE IN THE AREAS OF CARRYING OUT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES OF THEIR DUTIES IN PROVIDING COMMUNITY SERVICES TO ALL IN NEED.

YesYesYes

WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED IN MY RESEARCH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PROVIDES SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND EDUCATION FOR IDENTIFYING VICTIMS OF ELDER ABUSE, NEGLECT AND EXPLOITATION THIS TRAINING AND EDUCATION IS REFERENCED AS E.A.G.L.E.S.
WHICH STANDS FOR ELDER ABUSE GUIDELINES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS A 5 PAGE CHECKLIST PROTOCOL TO BE COMPLETED BY FIRST RESPONDERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE CASE OF A WELL CHECK OF ELDER PERSON IN NEED OF EMERGENT SERVICES. WHETHER, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, ETC.
When cadets go through training at the Ohio Police Academy through the bureau of criminal investigation. they are educated in the 5 w words, who as in who was involved or has knowledge of the circumstances of an incident , when as to date and time of incident, where, where did the incident happen what as to what exactly transpired during or the cause of the incident to happen, and why again as to why the incident occurred. having spoken with several people within law enforcement who have retired locally, Fayette County does not practice these protocols in all instances. it is left up to the discrepancy of the responding deputy as to the protocol that is followed or what action they deem is necessary in upholding the law. How can this be right or supported by the Sheriff unless the Sheriff himself is not one to follow the letter of the law. which would appear to be the case when i spent more than one hour on the phone with him personally on September 22,2022 giving him all the gory details and full disclosure of the first rape my husband committed against him as well as the particulars of the isolation, and exploitation , verbal abuse and quotes used to control, intimidate, and spared no words explaining the physical attacks committed against me. the sheriff referred me to APS and the prosecutor after this conversation.
Research i have done concerning protocol to be followed by APS in the matters of identifying victims of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation consists of a 68 page checklist in correlation with Ohio Revised Code handed down by the Ohio Supreme Court one of those codes is failure to provide goods and services to a functionally impaired person by a caregiver. Having spoken with the Director of our local APS for more than half an hour explaining the circumstances of my situation, rape, felonious assault, elder abuse, exploitation, using my credit card for personal gain. the ohio website firmly states that anyone can file a complaint of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation anytime it does not have to be an emergency situation if you have information pertaining to this offense you may call the number which is a state number but it gives recorded direction to filing a complaint directly to the county agency you are located in. in speaking with the director i was referred back to the Sheriffs department. from their back to the prosecutor, back needless to say protocol was not followed in my case by any agency who is required by law to investigate matters such as mine. I have not been allowed to provide a victim impact statement as i was advised would transpire after filing the rape report. i was never given any information advising me my rights as a victim. by any of these agency's as required by law. In other words i have just been a thorn in someones saddle that won't go away. or they think i had gone away until i asked for an interview with the county commissioners on April 15,2024 and to bring forward my portfolio . i was advised there needed to provide them with 3 copies one for each commissioner as i gave my statement. also in attendance was the prosecutor himself. the commissioners were appalled by the documentation i had and my statement and the prosecutor left in a huff as he had been texting someone throught the entire meeting. my guess it was the sheriff he was in communication with. that has now been more than 3 weeks ago. i have not heard a thing from anyone. now reaching out to your agency. i look forward to hearing from you soon. It is easiest to reach me by phone 740-606-6118 I thank you for your time in allowing me to vent all the discrepancies of my situation. and providing this site for all victims to make contact with you!

My aunt recently passed after suffering from Alzheimer's in a long-term care facility. Fortunately, she had family to visit and advocate on her behalf to ensure that she was treated well and her needs were met so that she could enjoy her final years in peace.

I work for the Florida Department of Children and Families in Adult Services. We have been struggling for a few years to maintain staff due to the low salary of our Adult Protective Investigators (API). The salary for an API with a bachelor's degree is $33,783.62 and $47,500.18/annually for a supervisor. That breaks down to 1407.65 per paycheck so if an API has to pay month rent, groceries, electric, car payment, car insurance, fuel that doesn't leave much room for saving money. The average wage for an API across the US is 45,576 so we are more than $20,000.00 below the average with the largest growing elderly population is the US. There is no way for a single person to come work for us without having to go get another job to supplement their lack of income from being an API.
The rising cost of fuel, food and housing is at an all-time high while are wages are at an all-time low. We only get fuel reimbursement of .44 cents while the Federal fuel reimbursement is 58.6 cents and the only way to claim the difference is to file long form which is not likely for these API's.
Please help the Adult Services Program get an increase in wages so that we can hire more staff to ensure the safety of our most vulnerable adults.
Thank you for your time.

That they are most likely abused, neglected and exploited by their own relatives.

To have enough community providers for the services need to keep our senior in the least restrictive setting, which is their homes.. To get more funding for in home services to assist caregivers, respite programs, housekeeping, personal care, transportation, financial management, home repairs, building ramps, installing handrails and energy assistance to keep their costs low.
To have a program started where babies are taken into nursing homes for the elders to nurture and in turn the children will get a bonus grandparent.
That everyone knows they are responsible for reporting any suspected abuse, neglect, exploitation or self-neglect.

We need to take of the one's that raised us!

November 5, 2024Carolyn98229carolyn.burkhart@yahoo.com

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.

YesYesYes

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.

My upcoming, a "MUST READ" book sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of unlawful discrimination in guardianship and offers practical solutions for reform. I'd love to discuss potential collaboration opportunities, such as:
- Reviewing a copy of the book
- Interviewing the author (me!)
- Sharing information with your network

Any who are open to exploring these possibilities?

Email:
fitzpitz3697@gmail.com and put "Julian" in the subject line.

Best, Denise

That there are caring people out here and I am one of them! More will be contained in my upcoming book. I offer various ways that people can collaborate with me. Please do so as I stand up for Civil and Human rights of the elderly as I am and also the vulnerable of which my adult son is and of which some elderly are. Collaborating is caring just as sharing is.

More organizations that TRULY promote the rights of the elderly and the vulnerable. To have a non profit as I fight guardianship abuse towards this mentioned group of people who are targets for unlawful discrimination. I want to show what caring really means. I have a motion filed in a Wake County Court in NC as I seek to expeditiously remove an unjustified guardianship and address abuse and exploitation as confirmed by the NC "DHHS". I am working tirelessly to bring Julian home and raise awareness about the need for guardianship reform. To attend the hearing, contact me by email. My goal is to continue to fight abuse towards the elderly in guardianship arrangements. My goal is to build large numbers of others who will collaborate with me in doing the same.

My upcoming, a "MUST READ" book sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of unlawful discrimination in guardianship cases of many elderly individuals are under. The book offers practical solutions for reform. I'd love to discuss potential collaboration opportunities, such as:
- Reviewing a copy of the book
- Interviewing the author (me!)
- Sharing information with your network

Any who are open to exploring these possibilities?

I am an elderly woman recovering from a total knee replacement who lives alone. I am a victim of harrassment, bullying and wrongful arrest by my next-door neighbors. This has gone on for the past eight years. I have reached out to my public officials, HOA, senators, city councilwoman, legal aid agencies in my area and nothing changes. I have been shot in my driveway, almost ran over by a car and subjected to other terrorists acts by the neighbor's. I reported these acts which are on video to the police department and they never arrest the neighbors.

I need to tell my story in a public forum.

That the police refused to prosecute my neighbors.

Relief to grow old in my home.

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!!!!!

YesYesYes

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!!!

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Robert L. McDonald, and I’m writing to ask for your support in a matter that has devastated my family and compromised the dignity of my late grandmother, Yvonne J. McDonald.

Yvonne was the matriarch of our family—a woman who worked hard, raised generations, and placed her trust in a legal structure meant to protect her legacy. In her later years, following a stroke and a steady decline in cognitive and physical health, she became increasingly vulnerable. Medical records from Mercy Clinic Branson West document memory impairment, delayed speech, and emotional instability in the months leading up to December 2, 2019—the day she was taken to an attorney’s office and signed a warranty deed transferring her home out of the family trust and into the sole name of my aunt, Dorothy.

Yvonne signed as both trustee and grantor, but she did so while suffering from documented cognitive decline and without independent legal counsel. The transfer contradicted her long-standing estate plan, which named me as successor beneficiary. It also left my wife, our six children, and me homeless—displaced from the home I had spent years repairing and protecting.

I’ve been fighting to restore my grandmother’s intent and reclaim the property that was meant to shelter her descendants. I’ve gathered medical records, trust documents, and evidence of undue influence. My aunt destroyed the original wills and trust upon my grandfather's death instead of having a will reading. But as a pro se litigant navigating this crisis without financial resources, I’m asking for help—from those who believe that elder dignity and family justice are worth defending.

If your coalition offers advocacy, expert referrals, or public support for cases involving elder exploitation, I would be deeply grateful for any guidance or partnership. Yvonne’s voice was silenced by illness and manipulation. I’m doing everything I can to make sure her wishes are heard.

Thank you for your time, and for the work you do to protect our elders and their families.

With respect,
Robert L. McDonald (Robby)

It wasn't after COVID that we really started to experience the difficulties that Mom was going to undergo at Catholic Elder Care in Mpls, MN. Mom had broken her left hip and was no longer able to go home. There were some good aides but after Covid many left because they could get paid by staying home. We lost some really good aides. We did have aides that were white but they soon left because working with the blacks from Africa became impossible. If you didn't go along with them and what they said and did then when you wanted help from them they wouldn't show up when you called for assistance. A couple of aides got paid from a family member who said, "if you make sure his clothes are in good shape, his shoes shined, hair combed and cleaned physically" I will make it worthwhile for you. they accepted the cash. Many of us were yelled at by the aides, told to mind our own business, and to quit complaining. Your Mom isn't the only one here you know!! Very rude--and the nurse mngr of the 1st floor did very little to change the outcomes. She was a friend to the aides, not a manager. I went round and round with these people enlisted the ombudsman, called the Office of Facility Complaints and the MN Deot of Health. When they checked out the laundry facilities operated by the Somalis, they told me, "can't tell you everything Laurie but I can say this," that place leaves alot to be desired". We finally put a camera in the room and boy do we have pictures to tell a horrid story. Some I shared with the nurse manager and when she herself saw what a couple of things were done she was amazed and angry. But did she really do anything about it, not really! And, when you are white and you are aware of the things that are going on and you try to fix it and a family member is there every day for 7 1/2 you are blacklisted and they can make you life miserable. I saw a PhD person talk about racim in the nursing homes and it is alive and well. Not understanding the language, no meaningful interaction between you and the aide, waiting for things to change, even get a little better and having the Dir of nurses and the Director of nursing activities write you accusing letters that are false is no way to spend your time at a place that insists they are specialized care nurses with your parent's best interests in mind. I cannot say that the nursing homes in MN are the place to be.....the blacks are from another country and are only here to get pd, go back to Africa for 1 month vacation and finally move back with a house bought and can live a better life than their own counterparts in their country of origin. There are no longer a sizeable number of whites working at Catholic Elder Care unless they have office jobs. A very sad place.

That it is a shameful, exhaustive, place to live in when the care and concern of the elderly is abused. It was this generation that saved our country from Communism and made it a place for migrants to come to work so they could have a better life as well and to see them be treated as they are by the black aides is horrible and it needs to stop - the aides need to be fired. Their attitude, their lack of concern for the elderly, and their lack of understanding of where they actually are is frightening.
I pray to God that I die in my sleep at my own home,

Sincerely,
Laurie Benson

That it happens all the time, everywhere, and very little or nothing is done about it. 71/2 years is too much to take when you know your parent is going through this and that they are afraid to say anything. Unless you are a highly concerned person for your elderly parent or family member many things will happen that you will need to bring to light and you will be ignored or told that they are looking into it and nothing will change.. YOU, will become the enemy!
May God bless all highly motivated, caring and concerned caregivers. It is a rough rough road.

I still see a lot of talk and very little action with our supposed informed leaders in government and now with the fact that I am 73 and am starting to develop my own physical limitations I will pray that I do not have to be in a nursing home - anywhere!

Thank you for this opportunity. I am mourning the loss of my mother. We buried her on Tuesday. She was 103 1/2.
Actually, this has helped me. I only wish I would have pressed harder to get the changes that needed to be made more open to the public. But I will still press forward and do what I can at the government level to see if our elderly can be taken care of in the manner that they should be - our turn is next - we need to continue the fight and not use premature death as a excuse to avoid what needs to be done.

Thank you for this opportunity

YesYesYes

My son, Tom is also an advocate for the elderly and has pushed the limits of kindness for those who were less than adequate in caring for his grandmother. I will ask if he is interested in doing something for the elderly at this time. We are still pretty fresh in our loss. But, maybe it would be a good thing to concentrate on to assist us in our bereavement.

Thank you for this opportunity

This is the story of my mother being in Lake Taylor transitional care Hospital in Norfolk Virginia. Her name is Sofia Dimovich. She first was admitted to Lake Taylor transitional care hospital for rehabilitation. But due to the fact that she has stage four breast cancer congestive heart failure and stage 5/6 dementia.It was determined that she needs skilled nursing home care 24 seven.
My mother first was in the dogwood unit at Lake Taylor. This was the start of her demise. She had developed numerous bedsores because she was left in the bed for days. Their reasoning was that she did not want to get out of bed. This person has dementia. There is a special way of talking to an individual with dementia. The situation even got worse because she became dehydrated and had to go to the ER.
She had additional visits to the ER because of her decrease in health which was contributed by the lack of care (lack of basic care)and neglect from the staff at Lake Taylor nursing home. Her health had deteriorated oh rapidly that she is now on palliative care. But she is not being taken care of with palliative care. I have witnessed many occasions where her food was left on the tray with out helping her eat. She is supposed to be checked every 2 to 3 hours.II have to ask if they’re going to give her a shower. I have continuously asked to have her dressed daily and placed in a chair to avoid bedsores from getting worse. but with the worst is is that they don’t know what she ate when someone supposed to be sitting with her.
On One occasion I was told that if they” got her up that they could not put her back into bed until after the second shift “,which I knew it was a lie. There has been many times when she has been soiled and has rang her bell for a long period of time without being taken care of. She has even fallen out of her bed. The act of care during her meal time is cruelty. She is supposed to be watched or helped during meal time. She is supposed to have a Magic dessert that has high protein during two of her meals. But this is not always the case.
After returning from another stay in the ICU unit at the hospital her weight was 130 on the day of her arrival in January by March she had lost another 15 pounds she is currently down to 113. This is pure neglect. They don’t want to take the time to help her during feeding time. She is a very picky eater but if you just give her a magic dessert and Ensure that would at least help maintain her weight. They continuously make excuses that she does not wanna get out of bed. Of course she doesn’t because of fear.Plus she has dementia.

The reason why I am sharing the story is because I have met other family members at Lake Taylor transitional Hospital that have had the same experience with the staff. I think that it would help if the facility provided appropriate staff training to implement proper care of patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s. This shouldn’t just be a reason to take money from elderly people without caring for them. I want people to remember that when you have a family member with dementia that it’s your responsibility to be their advocate. People should not be afraid to speak out in order to improve living conditions for the elderly in any type of facility.

That it does happen. And that someday we all are going to get old and that we need family ,friends ,even strangers to be able to address abuse ,neglect or fraud. Please Remember that a facility does have an obligation to treat their patients with consideration ,respect and dignity no matter what their acute illnesses may be. It does matter.

My hopes for the future is that there is more training for staff members. Higher pay for caretakers in nursing homes or assistant living. And elimination of shortage of staffing problems. Developing respect and appropriate care for aging population.

YesYesYes

Learning to be kind and taking the time to speak out.

My name is Samantha and I have been working in the senior living industry for several years. I recently came across a distressing situation involving an elderly lady in need of assistance, and I am reaching out to you in the hope that you or your organization may be able to help.
The woman in question, let's refer to her as Mrs. G. is currently facing a challenging situation. She is without family support, as her husband has passed away, and her son has been exploiting her financially for years. Mrs. G is in her 80s, and her struggles have been exacerbated by a lack of awareness and guidance.
In 2017, she entered into an agreement with a company called Unison, which is listed as a home investment group. They provided her with what they termed a "$40,000.00 loan" under the guise of an investment. The terms are troubling, as there are no interest or payment requirements until the sale of her home. However, upon selling, Unison intends to charge a staggering 61.75% of the growth of the home. The estimated repayment, based on the current home value of $425,000.00, would amount to $168,440.00.
Given Mrs. G's circumstances, this repayment scheme leaves her with inadequate funds to cover the costs of Assisted Living, which she desperately needs. What's more concerning is that she did not receive proper counsel before entering into this agreement, and her vulnerability was exploited.
I am reaching out to you in the hope that your expertise and influence may help bring attention to this situation. It is my sincere belief that the terms of this agreement are exploitative and unjust, especially considering Mrs. G's vulnerable state and lack of proper guidance during the signing process.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance, advice, or advocacy you can offer to help rectify this situation and prevent further exploitation of vulnerable seniors. If you require additional information or if there's a specific channel through which I should address this matter, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to any support you may be able to provide in helping Mrs. G. navigate this challenging situation.

That seniors are being taken advantage of - Senior living is SO expensive and when someone plans to sell their house to pay for it and you find this out - it is sentencing her to death in her house. She will certainly fall and not be able to get help.

That is happens all the time. It is so easy to scam people and the interest rate of 61.75% should be illegal.

That I can save this lady and help her get into an assisted living community.

YesYesYes

Please help.

State and nursing board could implement increasing staffing regulations for all care facilities. Also, provide funding for all care givers/nurses with health care support mental burnout/depression issues regarding our provision.

Being a nurse for more than 30 years the provision still remains high burnout and shortage of people will to go through the turmoils associated with the job. It has only been getting worse with lack of support.

That at times it's not bad people in the provision.

I hope for better support for the people that want to be in the profession.

In September 2020, I moved in with my then 89-year-old mother to help her with the necessities of daily living. On January 2, 2022, my mother fell and broke her hip. Kaiser Permanente's medical negligence crippled her. She has been in and out of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and a board and care ever since. In February 2023, I extricated her from Kaiser, switching her to Anthem Blue Cross, which went into effect on March 1, 2023. Two days before the switch, Kaiser took her out of the (out-of-network) hospital against medical advice and, over my objections, stuck her in one of the worst skilled nursing facilities in Los Angeles County. The SNF withheld my mother's blood thinners (she's genetically predisposed to clots) without medical justification, causing her to have a stroke. No one noticed she'd had a stroke, making her ineligible for the medication which could have reversed the stroke. They told EMTs my mother had a DNR, knowing she did not. They also committed Medi-Cal fraud.

Kaiser Permanente, one of the largest health care providers in the U.S., is committing Medicare fraud, tax fraud and health care fraud, involving out-of-network hospitalizations.

On June 27, 2022, my mother was a patient at Sherwood Oaks Post Acute in Thousand Oaks, California. She was sent there by Kaiser Woodland Hills, ostensibly to receive physical therapy after she broke her hip. (Kaiser selected Sherwood Oaks. Because of limited availabilities due to the COVID pandemic, Kaiser sent her to a skilled nursing facility which was out-of-network.)

While she was a patient at Sherwood Oaks, my mother went into septic shock and was taken by ambulance to Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. (Los Robles was the closest hospital to Sherwood Oaks, and is out-of-network.) She was diagnosed with bi-lateral kidney stones in her kidneys and ureters, her right kidney was inflamed.

Los Robles saved my mother’s life. She was a patient there for twenty-five (25) days, eventually being discharged to Kaiser Panorama City on July 22, 2022.

The amount claimed by Kaiser for reimbursement from Medicare does not match the amount Kaiser paid Los Robles as settlement of their bill for my mother’s care.

Per Medicare, Kaiser filed a claim for my mother’s stay at Los Robles in the amount of $893,868.25. Medicare approved the claim in full, and reimbursed Kaiser $0.00. Per the Explanations of Benefits (EOBs) prepared by Kaiser, Kaiser paid Los Robles $59,261.79 for my mother’s hospital stay. Kaiser’s Medicare claim for this out-of-network hospital stay was $843,246.46 more than what they actually paid Los Robles to settle the bill, a difference of 1508%.

This was not an isolated incident. On August 25, 2022, my mother was taken by ambulance to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where she was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. She was transferred to Kaiser Panorama City on August 27, 2022.

Per Medicare, Kaiser filed a claim for my mother’s stay at Northridge Hospital in the amount of $54,342.00. Medicare approved the claim in full, and reimbursed Kaiser $144.81. Per the EOBs prepared by Kaiser, Kaiser paid Northridge Hospital $9,814.32 for my mother’s hospital stay. Kaiser’s Medicare claim for this out-of-network hospital stay was $44,527.68 more than they actually paid Northridge Hospital to settle the bill, a difference of 554%.

It would be reasonable for Los Robles and Northridge Hospital to be able to take tax write-offs for the difference between the amounts they billed Kaiser (as my mother’s Medicare provider) and the amounts Kaiser actually paid them for my mother’s care. It is not reasonable for Kaiser to file Medicare claims for reimbursement of amounts higher than they actually paid Los Robles and Northridge Hospital.

If Kaiser did what I think they did, Kaiser’s grossly inflated Medicare claims were filed to facilitate filing falsified tax write-offs, write-offs for money they never paid.

I can provide you with copies of Kaiser’s Medicare claims for my mother’s hospital stays at Los Robles Regional Medical Center and Northridge Hospital Medical Center (dba Dignity Community Care), along with Kaiser’s EOBs for July 2022, August 2022, September 2022, October 2022 and December 2022. I can also provide you with copies of my mother’s financial and health care powers-of-attorney, as well as her signed HIPAA Release.

I have already filed complaints with Medicare, the IRS, the Franchise Tax Board and the Department of Justice.

I am currently organizing my evidence regarding Kaiser’s actions to get out of paying for my mother’s care at Sherwood Oaks. When completed, I will be filing complaints against Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks for perjury (to Livanta), falsification of medical records and HIPAA violation with the FBI, the California Attorney General, and the Los Angeles and Ventura County District Attorneys. (Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks sent Livanta medical records indicating my mother received weeks of physical and occupational therapy, before deciding she had plateaued and would not benefit from additional therapy. Kaiser's EOBs prove my mother received only two PT/OT sessions, one as part of her evaluation the day she was admitted.)

So-called "health care" companies need to be held accountable for their actions. Kaiser routinely discriminates against the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill. Kaiser has no interest in the health and welfare of their members, only in how much money they can make off of them.

I want justice for my mother. I want Kaiser and Sherwood Oaks held accountable for their actions. I want the laws changed to protect our most vulnerable citizens.

YesYesYes

I do not wish to remain anonymous. I want everyone to know what Kaiser has done, and am willing to tell anyone who will listen.
