My parents live together in their marital home. My father has Parkinson's Disease. My mother has a high school education, but it appears that she might have had a learning disability when it comes to language and math skills.

My parents have been the victims of financial exploitation twice. The first time my father clicked on something on the computer which allowed the scammers to take over his computer. He provided them with gift cards to "fix the problem with the computer".

The second time my mother was contacted by phone. The scammers told her that their IP address had been used to look at porn in other countries and that the FBI was investigating them. They told my parents not to tell anyone because if they did whoever they told might be in danger. They told my parents their financial information had been compromised and they would be sending them a check ledger. My mother bought over $12,000 in gift cards and provided those numbers to the scammers.
My mother has gone back to work at 73 as a school bus driver due to the financial damage this scam did to her and my father. My father is a retired federal employee. He is 81 years old. He took early retirement at the age of 55. This second round of financial exploitation has caused them significant financial harm.

Elder abuse, neglect and fraud are horrible actions. The perpetrators prey on vulnerable adults. All forms of elder abuse are horrific. Exploitation or fraud might only appear to affect a person financially, but it does affect them emotionally. There are feelings of embarrassment, shame, self doubt, and other negative thoughts.

My hope is that the Federal Government recognizes the importance of funding adult protective services programs across the US and its territories. This is to respond to adult abuse, neglect and exploitation, as well as educate the public about these horrific acts. Adults deserve to live a life of dignity and respect.

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.

I originally came to care for the person when I was trying to make money cleaning peoples homes. I saw that this person was being exploited financially from many different avenues, but I did not know at that time to the extent of the situation so I began assisting him and he liked the work that I was doing And asked me to stay on as his caregiver and it made people angry because they couldn't take advantage of him anymore

I knew nothing about being a caregiver and what was required of me both legally and ethically, but I had to learn all aspects of caregiving on my own because every avenue that I attempted to reach out for help was like hitting up And not only that but fraudulent activity was still continuing to occur and not only was it continuing to occur, but then the situation was made to look like I was a perpetrator when in essence all I was trying to do was to cease the reoccurrence of fraudulent activities

Mr. Roberts does have mild cognitive impairment and the onset of dementia/Alzheimer's. It's very imperative for seniors to have implications in place for these types of diagnosis, not only to protect them, but should protect the one's caregiving for them by myself have been victimized by Fraud and I know what it's like to have every door shut in my face And how disheartening that is I wouldn't want this to occur to anyone so I've taken on this responsibility and when I can't find any assistance to alleviate the situation, and then it continues to occur and then is made to look as though I am the perpetrator it completely and utterly ties my hands And due to this since the banking institution has an obligation to report suspected fraud to protective services and then they do an investigation and deem that the senior does need assistance with financial activity has a hearing without the senior being present appoints a court appointed attorney. They tell him that they are going to continue the hearing And then a point a guardian and the case goes from alleged incapacitation to incapacity without him being present at a hearing which violates his due process rights tricks him into believing the first time that he meets the guardian that he is going to the hospital to get checked to make sure that nothing is wrong prior to the guardian taking over guardianship of the senior Lied to and told that he is being kept at the hospital due to blood pressure issues when really they were keeping him at the hospital until they could find a bed in a facility for him and then placing him into a facility when he didn't need to be in a facility And was deemed by home healthcare nurses and staff occupational therapy, physical therapy, social services at the nursing in-home nursing agency and the visiting nurse that he is capable of bathing, exercising making meals, using assisted devices to have mobility just needs assistance and is placed into a residential facility against his will And then the guardian context me and while I'm on a three-way call with the senior and states that it's in everybody's interest for me to vacate the home that I've lived in for the past two years and have tended and cared for the senior and the first thing that said was the seniors response that no he doesn't want me to leave and no, I don't have to leave and the guardian Tells him he has no authority in this matter and that the guardian wants to handle this outside of court is also in my opinion, a violation of his rights according to the guardianship handbook for the state of Pennsylvania that states that the guardian is supposed to communicate any decisions with the said individual and have their best interest at heart and protective services has clearly stated That I've done nothing wrong and I have concluded their investigation then why do I have to leave when it's not in the wishes of the senior and the senior is pretty much being held against his will because of this guardian and his court appointed attorney just makes the statement that he is the guardian what can be done

My hopes for the future is that the situation is resolved, and the senior who was removed from his home gets to return to his home that is bought and paid for, and not everything that he owns is taken and sold for the profits to keep him somewhere that he doesn't belong nor need as well as for paying for a guardian to exploit the situation because no senior should have to pass in a nursing home. They should be able to be comfortable in their own home that they've worked all their lives for.

YesYesYes

Every time I tried to reach out to get implications in place for the senior Mr. Roberts, I couldn't find any assistance. I tried to get him the waiver for me to get paid as his caregiver aging an adult services approved it. His doctor approved it and Health and Human Services stated that he made a $625 over the income guidelines and then never explained the spend down program Because of my past criminal history when I was a drug addict disqualifies me as his acting guardian his health issues disqualify him from life insurance and it just seems like every avenue I've explored has led to a dead end and I truly care for this person as I would want anybody to do for my parents if I was unable to and I've reached out to his children All of which are adults and nobody wants to be bothered and I won't want anybody doing that to my parents

My daughter sold my home in Pocatello, Idaho. I was not ready to do that, and I did need some help. I had surgery in Salt Lake, I had my leg amputated. Shortly after, I just needed somebody to be with me till I got over that awful pain. She said I gotta leave, and I said Leslie, find me somebody to help, and she sold my home. She rented me a place. It's not my home!

She made me sign, but I didn't want to sell my home. I was scared to be alone. Then she took me with her to Salem, and then I stayed with my son in California. I was comfortable, but I always wanted to come back home. Now I can take care of myself, I walk with a walker and I can drive.

I want them to know your own family can do this to you! I never dreamed my child could do this to me.
I wish I would have called my doctor or someone else in town at that time. I don't know if there's some way to prepare so this wouldn't happen.

My funds are dwindling and I want to have her pay for the rest to get my home back. I want her charged with something. I want to be able to live at home and spend time in the garden.

My Mom Charlene has mostly lived alone, with a community around her. Most of us kids live in other states far away.
She ran her own Marriage & Family counseling practice in Normal Heights, San Diego, & was active in the community.
That all changed when she had a massive stroke and was forced to retire. initially, she recovered amazingly well and returned home.

When she was diagnosed with dementia, her Daughter moved in to take care of her. As a result of her stroke, Charlene was unable to manage her own emotions, so it was extremely easy to set her off, because her mind was still sharp and she could reason things out. Emotional abuse was her daughter's weapon of choice to get back at her after any arguement.

Then Dementia set in, and Charlene's daughter began to emotionally abuse her and siphon off her money for her own ends. The rest of the family was not aware any o this was happening because Charlene would not mention it when they called. During a visit, I was able to watch Charlene do quite well on her own, displaying none of the erratic fits of rage her daughter kept telling us about. Afterwards, there were reports of Charlene being picked up by police because she was wandering the streets

Fast forward another year, and multiple abuse complaints had been filed with APS that Sheri was abusing Charlene, during this time Charlene's dementia got worse and with it, Charlene's daughter's abuse of her likewise got worse.

After Charlene went to the ER with a minor complaint, nobody could find her Daughter, who refused to answer her phone. I was called by my Aunt, who was called by the Hospital, and I flew out to find out what was going on. Her Daughter was ignoring Charlene completely during the day and complained that the stress was too much. The family had been told a lie, that Charlene's daughter had a financial power of attorney to take care of Charlene. Charlene's daughter had gotten Charlene to put her name on her bank account and had begun years of siphoning off her money for her own use. at one point, Charlene would be wandering the streets and her daughter simply did not care and did nothing to keep Charlene safe. a few more citizen complaints were filed against her for abusing Charlene, & when Police picked Charlene up off the streets, Her daughter pretended to be someone else and lied to the police officers, until the officers realized who she was and released Charlene into her custody.

None of Charlene's other family members were made aware of any of this because her daughter took their phone numbers off all her information so doctors. Police & social workers had no way to contact us. Then her daughter moved out of Charlene's home completely and abandoned Charlene with occasional home health care visits, which stopped after her daughter stopped using Charlene's money to pay them.

Charlene had long term care insurance, which paid for home health care, but at some point Home health care workers refused to enter Charlene's house due to unsanitary conditions. Charlene lived in cat feces & urine, which soaked her bed and all her furniture, drapes and walls. Charlene often wandered, penniless and destitute, because her daughter stopped providing her food, and removed Charlene's access from her own bank account. Numerous times, Charlene was picked up by neighbors from wandering in the streets hungry and confused. Her neighbors were feeding her, the local restaurant waitresses were feeding her, even the mailman confronted Charlene's daughter and her daughters only response was "I don't care." The daughter kept going into Charlene's house collecting rent from Charlene's renters and paying the bills, all while Charlene continued to live in filth. Eventually, things came to a head when Charlene was picked up yelling at cars while walking out in traffic. The EMT's refused to release her back into her house because she had no food, and the house was unlivable. Finally Charlene's assigned APS Social worker called me from Charlene's phone and let me know what was happening. My wife & I made arrangements for her home to be professionally cleaned.

HHSA refused to prosecute, refused to take her daughter, the abuser off of Charlene's trust when Charlene's faculties eroded to the point where she could not make her own decisions. APS & the state fought every effort from Charlene's family to help her. we trie our best to get someone to file charges and get Charlene's affairs back into anyone's hands other than her abuser, but her abuser remains in control of Charlene and we have sacrificed everything in the fight to protect my mom, my home is in foreclosure and & we've run out of funds.

Hope is in short supply. and we're going to be forced to return Mom back to California because her daughter has all legal control, so after we rescued Mom from the hell her daughter put her in, fairly soon Charlene is going to have to go back where nobody cares, and she will quickly die in that situation.

We don't know where to turn!

YesYesYes

Willing to witness to others, the dangers of dealing with abusers, the signs, your options etc...

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

EVERYTHING

Be careful trust no one

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

My Elderly father, Billy B. of southern Virginia, was not diagnosed early for his dementia. My mother knew something wasn't right with dad's memory because she was keeping track of everything for him well before she died suddenly in 2010. She simply stated that he was forgetful and couldn't remember much of anything, like doctor's appts., his keys, passwords on his computer, and where he was supposed to go on any given day when plans were made, and important appointments made. After mother died in 2010, his memory losses were more apparent by my son who lived with him and tried to help him with whatever he needed, cooking, cleaning, laundry, passwords, appts.
He was diagnosed with advanced dementia in 2019, when the decline was so severe that persons known to him and myself had already taken a joint savings from his bank, then all household furnishings, guns, tools, and everything that he had from neighbors, old friends, even some distant relatives who targeted him for anything they could get out of him. By the time I was told what had happened, it was too late, in 2021.
A long known family friend, also an RN, alerted me to the situation six years (in 2021) after I was stationed in Virginia to assist my dad. My son and I were told to leave him alone in 2014. So as we both left, the only close NOK left, my son and I hoped he would be okay.

I drove back to Virginia in March 2021 to get more information on who was involved and what had happened to my father's house and property. My father was unable to see me due to COVID, afraid of contact with anyone. As we spoke by phone he stated that as he went to his bank a few years ago to get some money for his car repairs, and the bank manager told him that his savings account was empty and closed! Bank Manager further stated that, "his daughter and her husband" had come in with a "note" stating, that "they were the only surviving relatives and since my mother had passed away," "they wanted to close the account." My father repeatedly asked his Elder Law Attorney for assistance in the matter, but was never given any hope of finding out how and why this happened. Note: my dad did continue to ask his attorney for years over and over again to help in this matter of his savings account closure and all the missing money. Police were never contacted! I don't know that this attorney ever did anything about this!
I was shocked to hear this, as I hadn't been back to Virginia since 2014. Immediately I went to the bank branch, two police departments, and called numerous state agencies, including APS, State Police, and many Federal Agencies. I called my father back to tell him I going to do my best to have this investigated.

Elder Abuse, Financial Abuse, and/or neglect is criminally wrong. There needs to be an easier way to prosecute persons who think they have gotten away with criminal acts against vulnerable elderly citizens. When you see this happening again and again, it's not an accident, nor just a one time incident. These persons who target the elderly by befriending them, talking them into doing things the Elder Persons normally wouldn't do, is one of worst of criminal and deceitful minds in our society. They must be found, interviewed, vetted by every agency for any sales of property, and carefully looked at to see if their standard of living has changed. I know that some of these persons suddenly moved out of the neighborhood after I started asking for police and other agencies to investigate!

Let the local, state, and federal agencies do their jobs, I found out so much information on my own just calling and asking questions about my father and the persons who were targeting him. I will keep going with my investigation, and questioning to everyone I can find that knew or saw what was happening. This was HIS property, not mine, but many family heirlooms, guns, tools, machinery that he had is now gone. All because too many persons saw how vulnerable he was and just stepped in and took whatever he had that was precious to him, and his family. The other side of this is that he may have needed some of the money, and resources that were taken to help him go into a nursing home, or assisted living facility, and it's all gone now! I am so eager to speak out about this situation, because so many people have been victimized and hurt by perpetrators who think they can do this to anyone who's vulnerable!
If his Elder Attorney would not step in to help him when he asked for assistance, than who does the Elderly victim trust now, if they cannot trust their own attorney???

YesYesYes

YES-I will talk to anyone, media, public, elder groups, law enforcement - whether live in-person interview, via video, any way I can help-you name i!. Not afraid to tell this story, it we can stop this and share the clues and warning signs on how it all starts and continues for the very vulnerable Elderly community in today's society!

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)

I was watching a program the other day about Harvey Wienstien, listening to the women talk about the pain, hurt, humiliatiin they lived with in silence until they got justice. I will never really know thier pain, but i do certainly know what it is like trying to go on living with the unbearable pain of extreme injustice tearing you apart inside, having walked into a hospital with my most beautiful precious beloved mom with nothing anywhere near life-threatening wrong with her at all, only to see her be gruesomely killed by a doctors most blatant gross severe neglect, malpractice that there ever could be. And as if that isn't bad enough, the soul-wrenching betrayal of Livanta/CMS/HHS/AARP twisting a thousand hot irons in your heart, using thier full power and influence to deny, disguise, do anything they can to cover-up for and protect my moms killer from accountability, aa if they have no conscience, no heart at all, and either don't recognize, or just don't care, that even if they have the power and connections to get away with it on paper, nothing in this world, nothing that they do, goes unseen by The One who nothing is hidden from, who knows all truth about everything. It truly baffles and confounds my mind to think how/where they find personel capable to even do these jobs which require a total compromise of all human decency and basic principles that I thought was reserved for the rare psycopath serial killer types, somehow lacking the critical inherent component of civil human beings, a nature that renders us incapable of comitting atrocities against others, be it our soul, conscience, heart, compassion. Scary to think these highly dangerous types may be much more common than i thought, including working, holding powerful positions within the systems we rely on to keep us, and our loved ones safe from being killed by bad doctors/hospitals The staff at Livanta/CMS/HHS would have to be full of them, as no person of quality with any measure of integrity, principles at all, could accept a paycheck for helping to cover for someone who blatantly killed my mom. The pain of losing a loved one is hard enough. When that loved one is killed by another person, it's a lot harder. There are no words to begin to convey how many times over much harder still it is watching the greatest love of your life, my precious beloved mom, being torturously killed, screaming HELP MEEE, AAAAA, HEEELLLP MEEE, in excruciating agony, all because of the gross extreme neglect, malpractice of a doctor who refused to see her against the adamant urgings of me and a profesional home nurse asking, begging that she needs and requires immeadiate attention.

Walked into the hospital with my most beautiful precious beloved mom with absolutely nothing anywhere near life-threatening wrong with her at all.

My experience trying to get justice.

Due to complete systematic failure and refusal to enforce laws in place to protect the public, our most precious beloved vulnerable elderly are being mass slaughtered at numbers over ten times higher than ever before in history in Pennsylvania hospitals completely unchecked and unrestrained.

The doctor that killed my mom gets arrested and properly charged, and nobody again has to go through what I have, and am still suffering.

YesYesYes

Please contact me please !!!! Thank you.

Why is 20% rise in malaria in Africa from natural causes, or a select few cases of measles in Texas captures the solemn attention of local and world news, top scientists, the World Health Organization...ect, BUT ASTRONOMICALLY HYPER-ESCALATED, MORE THAN TEN TIMES HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE NUMBERS OF OUR MOST PRECIOUS BELOVED ELDERLY, BEING WRONGFULLY KILLED IN PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL FACILITIES, NOT ONLY GETS NO ATTENTION AT ALL, BUT CONVERSELY GETS WIDESPREAD COVER-UP, AND IS SYSTEMATICLY PERPETUATED AND ENCOURAGED BY ABSOLUTE REFUSAL OF AUTHORITIES TO ENFORCE THE LAWS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC.
Nothing short of state sponsored, blatant, intentional mass serial manslaughter homicide of our most precious beloved vulnerable eldely.
Pennsylvania, the Elder Manslaughter State.
Letter to my Pastor:
Jack, There is just no way to win in this battle in this life in this so sickeningly deep dark evil world, thoroughly and completely run, controlled, and owned by the devil.
I cannot live with myself if I ever give-up, but the Chester County DA, the Medical Board, Law enforcement, all of our local, state and federal officials and represenatives, are the exact opposite of everything they are supposed to stand for. There is not a shred of integrity in any of them. By thier own written law they are all accesories after the fact in the gruesome horrific wrongful killing of my most beautiful, wonderful, sweet, kind, gentle, loving, caring, precious beloved mom. I have gone over and over the laws and statutes and everything there is to understand about the way it is supposed to be, and the ones running things are the very worst criminals of them all, far worse than probably just about any criminal who they lock up. Far far worse. Even after filing detailed reports of Chester County DA de Barrena-Sarobe's open violation of the, Crime Victims Rights Act of 2004 in person at the office of the US Attorney in Philadelphia, the highest legal official in Pennsylvania, he still hasn't ever even honored my legal right to confer with him, the government attorney on the private criminal complaint I filed against the doctor who very clearly 1) had a professional duty of care, 2) grossly breached that duty of care, which I have medical professional documented proof of, 3) that breach of duty caused injury, 4) the extent of that injury was death. The four factors of negligent homicide in a medical setting. In his knowledge of the crime, and use of his position to protect the killer, by the very law that he is supposed to represent, the DA is a criminal accesory after the fact, and one of the head perpetuators of the over 1000% unimaginably hyper-escalated rate of wrongful elder death currently slaughtering the hell out of our vulnerable elderly population en masse in Pennsylvania, including my precious beloved mom. The the overseer of the rampant disposal of our most vulnerable precious beloved elderly.
My whole family and extended family devastated. My poor old dad lost in life without his loving wife of 60yrs. No more big ladies trips to Atlantic City that relatives came from across the country for that my mom was the center of. No more Christmases with grandma. The One so special day that we all lived all through the year in anxious anticipation of, that made anything we had gone through all year to get there worth it.
My mom did not go to the hospital dying and they were unable to save her.
I walked in there with her with nothing anywhere near life-threatening wrong with her at all, and spent the next months all day every day by her side through the long torturous excruciating screaming in agony, heeeeelp meeeeee, aaaaaaa, it huuuuuurts, aaaaaa, heeeeeelp meeeee, aaaaaaaaaa, not from anything to do with anything she went in there for, or any exsisting condition. Solely from that terrible careless heartless souless wicked doctors blatant gross extreme negligence and severe malpractice. And not even by mere mistake. Performing an inappropriate procedure that even the US Agency for Hospital Research and Quality determined no reasonable doctor would have done, and then when that incision that never should have been made became infected, absolutely refusing against the adamant urging, begging and pleading of a professional home nurse and me to see her promptly, resulting in that infection localized to a small improper incision that never should have been made to begin with, traveling into her bloodstream and throughout her body and vital organs until she collapsed on the floor, and even then when she was rushed by ambulance back in to him, he severely botched the correctional procedure and quickly forced her back out to the rehab against my trying to do everything I could to keep her in as I could see she was in no condition, and even the rehab put her back in an ambulance and sent her back, before we finally got her the heck out of there to another hospital/doctor who upon sight of what Dr Hayes had done to her in Chester County Hospital, was visibly angry and couldn't hold back from belting out, what was that doctor doing, he had to of known this had no chance of working, rushing her into to the operating room to try to fix too late what he had done to her. Jack that's too much already and there's alot more. That doctor clearly killed my mom and I have multiple documented medical professional testimonies proving it.
In over a year doing everything that can possibly be done to at least try to get some kind of justice for what was done to my beautiful, wonderful, sweet, kind and gentle, precious beloved mom, all I find is pure evil and corruption to the depths of hell on earth. I couldn't even hear a word said in the AA meeting tonight. All I could do is think how/if I can go on living in this sickening wicked evil devils world. At what point do I just check myself out? I thank God for you Jack. You are a mighty presence for Him in this sick rotten evil world. I thank God most of all that i know Jesus, and that He has made His Truth so clear to me, that you certainly played a big role in, along with my very special grandma, my moms mom. I feel secure that He knows all of this, and of course far more than any mere human mind could ever contain, and I don't care what anyone says, in times when I'm thinking about it, even if I checked-out of this sickening evil rotten devils world by my own hand, He would be there with open arms, probably saying He's been expecting me, I endured quite well enough.

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.

Once an adult; twice a child.
My name is Jeanine Thomas Castle, and I have 3 separate stories in 3 separate counties in California.
1st story - Compton, Los Angeles County approximately over a 10-year period (1990's - early 2000) My Uncle, John Thomas "Papa" a widower. No children. He owned his home outright and his small pension and social security supported his simple lifestyle. Then others began to remove items from his home. When he died. Someone else owned his home. Another person told the funeral home she was his daughter. The death certificated stated this. I was named in his Will and couldn't do anything being informed after his death. I was informed of his funeral. He died by a fall in a hole at a neighbor's home. Despite several broken bones, no food in his home and his house being refinanced multiple times Adult Protective Services couldn't and didn't protect him.

2nd Story - Fresno, Fresno County 2020 - 2023. My childhood neighbor, Filiberto 'Gilbert' Olivarez began being neglected - isolation, pandemic, no longer driving in his 90's. I documented little to no food in the home. No AC in the Fresno area triple degree summer. The District's Attorney's office did agree to an investigation. By that time, he had dementia and was residing in a residential care home. Despite having given Power of Attorney to one daughter for years another was able to convince him to sign one giving her full authority over his finances and sell his home far below market value to cousins of her children's father. The investigator NEVER spoke with Filiberto's brother who lived next door or other blood relatives.

3rd Story - Richmond, Contra Costa County 2024. My 97-year-old Aunt Margaret Horsley had been living in her home for 70 years. Her 63-year-old, alcoholic son resided with her. She is a strong woman of faith had hoped he would stop the drinking and smoking. At one point in the last 10 years, she was awarded a restraining order because he hit her. She agreed to allow him to stay for a few days after the order expired and those days turned into years. Frustrated she reached out to myself and a nephew. Contra Costa APS came out met with both and weren't able to do anything. There was no working landline phone. No hot water. They heated food on an inverted heater. The front door had a damaged frame that didn't allow the door to open and close easily or lock. On 8/30/24 there was a fire and fortunately no deaths, but the home has been declared "unoccupiable" by the fire department and boarded up.

Sometimes our elderly MUST have someone just like a child does to say, NO MORE. WE are removing you for your safety and best interests - Once an adult and twice a child. I believe every person in these three stories would have been relieved to have someone, anyone but themselves step in for them. THERE was/is an element of fear in all of these stories.

I'm retired. Aside from being one of three caregivers to my 93-year-old Mom. I want to do my part to make a difference in the lives of others.

I want them to KNOW that Adult Protective Services IS able to make a difference. That something will be done just like a child has protection.

Change in the power of APS and legislation to protect the elderly.

YesYesYes

As a social worker, counselor and caregiver I know how important it is to advocate for others when they are struggling. I also know how hard and challenging it can be to on the other side of the situation and not have power to do something.

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!!!

Hello, my name is Linda Hood.
I was a victim. Yes! Too, many Minnesotans are reporting abuse in healthcare facilities. I generated Minnesota legislative Bill HF3077, allowing video cameras in healthcare facilities, to prevent abuse of vulnerable patients.
This bill addresses privacy issues by allowing cameras to be used only at the patient or family request. Today, we are asking for your support to move this Bill to the floor this session for a vote.

Thank you for your time.

During March 8–14, 2026, I will be on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., I plan to meet with legislators and their staff to advocate for national legislation that would allow cameras in all healthcare facilities and patients’ rooms with consent only at the patients' or family request. A similar bill, HF3077, is currently circulating in Minnesota. This issue deserves national attention to help protect vulnerable patients, promote transparency, and give families peace of mind. Being physically present in D.C. provides a rare and meaningful opportunity to initiate these conversations at the federal level.

I want a sponsor, a bill, hearing date and the bill to become law.

I would like your support.

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. I ONLY HAD PARTIAL STRENGTH OF MY LEG AND IT WOULD ONLY BRIEFLY HOLD ME TILL I COULD PIVOT TO TRANSFER FROM MY CHAIR TO THE TOILET, OR TOILET BACK TO IT OR FROM IT TO THE SHOWER BY USING HAND GRIPS AND MY SEATED SHOWER CHAIR. BUT THEIR WERE TIMES IT JUST WOULDN'T HOLD ME UP AND I WOULD FALL. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD HAVE MUSCLE SPASMS AND TREMORS. HE KNEW THIS. I TRIED ONLY TO ATTEMPT TO SHOWER OF AN EVENING WHEN I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE IN THE HOUSE. HE WOULD BE SITTING IN THE FAMILY ROOM AND HEAR ME FALL AND YELL AT ME, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT IN THERE? ALMOST NEVER GETTING UP TO CHECK ON ME. HE STATED TO THE DEPUTY SHERIFF HE HEARD A THUD THAT MORNING. hE THOUGHT I MIGHT BE USING A WALKER. I WAS MEAN AND ANGRY WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIMES AND I WOULDN'T LET HIM HELP ME. THESE WERE ALL LIES. HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS MEAN AND ANGRY AND REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE WITNESSES WHO HAVE SEEN HIM PUSH ME IN MY WHEELCHAIR OR WALKER WHEN I HAVE BEEN ASKING HIM TO PLEASE STOP HE PUSHED ME TO FAST AND IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND TOLD HIM I COULD DO IT MYSELF. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. I HAVE WITNESSES THAT HAVE HEARD HIM YELL AT ME. I HAVE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE WITNESSED THE SAME TREATMENT AND OBSERVED HIM JUST SITTING OFF TO THE SIDE LISTENING TO THEIR FORMS OF DIAGNOSIS OF CHRONIC HYPERTENSION FLUCTUATING AND IRREGULAR AND EXCESSIVE HEART RATE IN CONSTANT DANGER OF HAVING A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK OF WHICH I HAVE HAD TWO. HIM JUST SITTING THERE WITH HIS ARMS FOLDED ACROSS HIS CHEST NOT ONCE OPENING HIS MOUTH ASKING WHAT HE COULD DO OR NEEDED TO DO TO HELP ME GET WELL, THEM OBSERVING HIS LACK OF EMPATHY OR CARING. THEM TOO WITNESSING HIM SHOVING ME AROUND IN MY WHEEL CHAIR AND ME TELLING HIM TO STOP BUT DOING IT ANYWAY PRETENDING TO BE THE DUTIFUL CARING HUSBAND. HAH! 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. MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE 200'S OVER 1 00'S AND MY HEART RATE WAS OVER 100 THE NURSE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME UNTIL THE DEPUTY SHERIFF ARRIVED. 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. THAT PUT ME ON DEFENSE IMMEDIATELY AS TO WHAT MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN INFORMING ME FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. IT WOULD NOT DO ME ANY GOOD TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. HIS FATHER HAD SERVED ON THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS. I WOULDN'T BE BELIEVED. THE DEPUTY CONTINUED THAT PATH OF CONVERSATION. ON MY AFFILIATION TO MY HUSBANDS FATHER STANDING OVER ME GLARING DOWN AT ME. I BLATANTLY LOOKED HIM SQUARE IN THE EYES AND TOLD HIM MY HUSBAND HAS LET ME KNOW ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION IT WOULD NOT DO ME ANY GOOD TO TELL YOU ANYTHING. DEPUTY HAVENS ASSURED ME HE HAD TAKEN SWORN OATH TO UPHOLD THE LAW TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

THERE WERE DIRTY CLOTHES PILED IN DIFFERENT PLACES THROUGHOUT MY BEDROOM, INCLUDING PILED KNEE HIGH IN MY BATHROOM. THERE WAS TRASH ALL OVER THE FLOOR UNDER THE SIDE TABLE NEXT TO MY BED.

HE DID NOT CALL APS TO DO AN INVESTIGATION AS HE WAS REQUIRED TO DO BY LAW HE DID NOT TAKE PICTURES OF THE DIRTY DISHES PILED IN THE KITCHEN SINK OR THE CONDITION OF THE KITCHEN WHERE MY MEALS WERE PREPARED. INSTEAD HE WROTE A VERY BRIEF REPORT AFTER HAVING LOCATED MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK YARD. EXCUSE ME HE WAS NOT CALLED TO THE HOME FOR THE WELL CHECK OF MY HUSBAND NEEDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL INTERVENTION. THE DEPUTY'S REPORT INSINUATED ONLY THAT IT WAS A CIRCUMSTANCE OF MY MENTAL ILLNESS. WHICH WAS LATER USED AGAINST ME IN THE COURT DEFENDING MYSELF AS A PERPETRATOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON GROUNDS OF EXTREME CRUELTY, AND GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY IN A FAULT BASED DIVORCE ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST ME HAVING BEEN SUMMONED TO APPEAR IN COURT BY PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

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.

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 dad and mom live with me. My dad was just diagnosed with Dementia in Nov of 2021. He was functioning 100% on his own even after a bout with Covid in June of 2022.

Good Morning:
August of 2022, I took my 81 year old dad to ER in Rome, GA. He had mild dementia. In the hospital they were not able to get a urine specimen or an IV started. He kept getting out of bed to try and pee then couldn't. They gave him Ativan "for agitation". I said he has to pee but can't he isn't mad he just can't stay in bed when he has to pee. They finally said he has an enlarged prostate and to follow up with pcp on Monday, this was a Saturday. Sunday morning we called his home therapy (from different incident w/covid) and she said take him back to ER now!! We did he had over 1500 CC in his bladder. Then sent him home with Foley. He still kept trying to get out of bed to pee so I gave him an Ativan to "calm him" per dr. He got very violent and angry. We called ambulance to take him back to ER and it was horrible from there. Hospital kept giving him meds (Ativan) even when I told them not to they made him angry etc. Every day it was more and more. Come to find out all the meds they were giving him they should not have because of his dementia-his reaction was not positive. They WOULD NOT listen to me.
Then they discharged him (after I had to fight with Insurance) to a REHAB, because he was not steady on his feet. Rehab was not the best but tolerable as he could walk. Rehab sent him home (due to insurance) after about 9 days I think.
He fell at home (due to meds his pcp gave him for sleep from what I am being told) and broke his hip.
Hospital sent him back to same rehab where the neglect began. He go there on a Tuesday.
a) didn't get ANY form of therapy until the next week.
b) Falls were NOT reported to me (now remember the man couldn't walk) but he had head injury and rib bruises.
c) then his incision "reopened" and he needed 7 staples again, I walked in on him layin in a dirty diaper-with his incision NOT covered.
d) I walked in on him sitting up in his bed with breakfast spilled on him with his staples coming out sitting in his food.
We got him out of that REHAB to a different one.
e) was admitted to ER 2 times while in this facility for "accidents"- I have pics
They were trying to follow up with dr on hip. The dr who did his surgery quit. So come to find out NO follow up had been done to my knowledge, not even in hospital!
They finally got him to the Practice of dr who did dads hip surgery, and it was infected he had to immediately go for a debridement. Which then caused the hospital to give him MORE antipsychotics-which I told them not too AND Ativan, etc was on his allergy list by this time.
My dad is now on hospice. Lost about 100 lbs since August. Won't eat (another story from 1st rehab-where he started all of a sudden choking when eating. And sleeping all of a sudden -his roomate said they were giving him shots to keep him calm)
So much abuse. I have tried to call lawyers who say there is a case but no one calls back.
I did report his last ER hospital stay from 1st Rehab to APS-have not heard back.

There is much more to tell, this is just the highlights of neglect and abuse from the hospital as well as the Rehab facility.

I wish us families were able to report this abuse and people believe us. I am tired of hearing well he has lived a good life. He WAS NOT that sick!

To help others in abusive Rehab/nursing homes.

YesYesYes

Please help the elderly suffering in these conditions!

At this point no one can help my dad, but I want to help the others suffering. Their families have no idea, especially if they come to the facility the same time of day. Its when you "pop in" you see the real treatment.

My beloved friend/grandmother was isolated from friends, family and church members. She suffered from uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and constant UTI's due to neglect. I was 2000 miles away and was blocked from calling and visiting.

I witnessed my beloved friend, whom I considered a grandmother, suffer from elder abuse, neglect, and isolation by relatives. It's my hope that in the future, doctors and geriatric specialists will request to meet with elders alone, without relatives present, to ensure their safety and well-being. I also advocate for state laws requiring regular meetings with geriatric specialists, both at the doctor's office and in the elder's home, to thoroughly assess their condition and ensure they receive proper care.
My beloved Margie passed early Christmas morning. Christmas day will never be the same.

A Eulogy for my Queen Margie🌷
In the tapestry of my life, there was a woman who stood out like a vibrant thread, weaving joy and peace into every moment we shared. She wasn't just a grandmother figure; she was a dear friend, a mentor, and a guiding light—a person who meant more to me than words could ever express.

Our bond, however, faced a daunting challenge when her health declined. It was a dark and painful time, filled with sadness and confusion. The realization that our relationship was fragile, and we were coming to the end of the road, was a bitter pill to swallow.

Yet, through the darkness emerged a newfound strength and determination. I became passionately driven to raise awareness about the silent epidemic that the elderly endure. I understood, more than ever before, the profound importance of close friendships and the transformative power they hold, especially in times of adversity.

My grandmother figure was not just a relative; she was my rock, my confidante, and my unwavering support. Her love was a shelter from life's storms, her words of encouragement a beacon of hope. Her prayers, filled with wisdom and compassion, lifted me up when I was down. Her peaceful temperament was a constant reminder of the beauty of a calm and loving soul. To know her was to love her.

Despite the age gap between us, our relationship felt like that of sisters or relatives in another lifetime. Her impact on me was profound, shaping my character and influencing my dreams and goals.

The heartbreak I experienced has only served to strengthen my resolve. It has given me a clear sense of purpose and a deep understanding of the legacy my grandmother figure has left behind. Her love and wisdom continue to guide me, inspiring me to be the best version of myself and to never give up, no matter the challenges I may face.

In honoring her memory, I strive to embody the qualities she cherished most—love, compassion, and resilience. Her legacy lives on in me, a testament to the enduring power of love and the profound impact one life can have on another.

Dearest Margie, You were one of a kind. Thank you for being an excellent example of a human being, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and beauty. We loved hard, so even in death, our bond is unbreakable. Continue to visit me in my dreams.

In conclusion, I only wish and pray that the pure and genuine love Margie possessed will someday be instilled in the hearts and actions of others to keep Margie's Legacy of Love Alive. We should all ask ourselves... What are you doing to better the condition of others? Thank you for listening. Humbly submitted by Liza Hicks, Loved as a daughter of Margie L. Smith 🩷🌷

Elderly abuse is more common than you could imagine. Please take action now to help put an end to our vulnerable Elderly enduring abuse. They have made their contribution to society and deserve to be treated with the up most respect and dignity. Make changes now, if you look the other way it will happen to you if live long enough.

It's important to treat all elders with respect, love, and dignity. I believe every state should implement Margie's law, requiring a gerontologist and geriatric doctor to monitor seniors' care quarterly.

YesYesYes

Please do the right thing. Just do it!!!

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?
