| December 5, 2025 | Denise | 27703 | fitzpitz3697@gmail.com | Who is Julian Glenn Coatley?
A nice man, a kind man, like his dad, a man of little words, who loves women and children. He cringles when children are mistreated and or when women are abused, especially those with mental disabilities. He is an African American male who sought a normal life with me, his devoted mother, a woman commended as being a loving mother, a mother of over 200% supportive of my dear son, Julian by all over the years who have known me.
I have always been commended as being a genuine good mother with whom my son shared a strong bond. We were always there for one another. To Julian, the words that I utter, "Julian, I love you and I will always stand by you, no matter what".
Julian and I were inseparable in public, always discussing our strong faith and values with others.
The community respected us for our high moral standards. Family activities, such as recreation, dining, and shopping, were integral to our relationship, but the matters of guardianship have deprived us of this.
Our most cherished moments were being dressed well and attending worship services together. That always puts a big smile on Julian's face. (exhibit, son in suit) Julian found solace in these services, which had a profoundly positive effect on his mental state.
He needs his worship services and the association with his spiritual family. We enjoyed so much together, the assemblies, conventions and other spiritual outings which included good clean fun.
Sadly, the matters of guardianship with its restrictive means of care have deprived him of this. To interrupt this does not align with his best interest.
Despite experiencing housing difficulties, my receipt of a housing voucher appeared to be a turning point for me and my dear son, Julian, however, what started with my asking for local government assistance ultimately led to a downward spiral of never ending and ongoing distressing events.

Wrongful Guardianship, Appointment under The ARC of NC DISCRIMINATES by keeping an African American male, Julian Coatley at Risk of Abuse and Exploitation
[Raleigh, NC] - Julian Glenn Coatley, an African adult American male, a vulnerable individual, is isolated from his mother, by being held against his will by a wrongfully court-appointed guardian, with his current whereabouts now unknown.
The guardian has cited the need for him to get "used" to the relocation to a new facility under a proven negligent provider as reason for withholding his location,(pretextual)despite concerns of abuse and exploitation as confirmed by the NC "DHHS", however, evidence suggests the true reason for withholding his location is Julian's history of substantiated abuse and exploitation reports against the very facilities he's been placed in under the guardianship.
'This is a clear case of retaliation and exploitation,' said Denise, a concerned mother and advocate. 'The guardian's actions are putting Julian's safety and well-being at risk, and it's imperative that he is located and protected immediately.'
The motion filed in NC seeks to expeditiously remove the guardianship and address the alleged abuse and exploitation, however getting the hearing lags
Denise is working tirelessly to bring Julian home and raise awareness about the need for guardianship reform to eliminate guardianship abuse.

| September 10, 2023 | Denise | 35611 | d.mccafferrey@yahoo.com | When I first moved to Hampton Lane my life was pain-free. I could walk my property on my own without any problem. Walk out to my chickens to feed and water them three (3) times a day. Walk out to my mailbox at the street without any problem whatsoever. I was a healthy 62-year-old disabled woman. I traveled to the state of Michigan to assist my mother with her legal battle against other family members that wanted to take control over her personal affairs and her life.
| On 08/03/2015, people living in the location of my home trespassed onto my land and slapped listening devices all over my windows. These people installed an electronic device on the roof of my home. This device generated a field of energy that bombarded a 3-5-mile radius of land surrounding my house. This electronic device appeared to have three (3) abusive settings. One setting felt like raw energy that consumed everything in its path. This created a very abusive environment that consumed my floors, furniture, etc. One setting felt like my whole body was being pelted with pins and needles. Some of the pins and needles hit my eyes. One setting seemed to be able to generate so much pressure that it caused disorientation. I could not move about my home without holding onto a solid fixture.
| Virtual Reality software and/or technology took masturbation to new levels of sexual gratification. What the public does not know is that the same Virtual Reality software can do serious bodily injury in the hands of someone with a criminal mind. An intelligent criminal mind intent on murder and destruction. People, intelligent people, dismantled the underbelly of my home in order to install a variety of torturous electronic devices. Electronic devices with the intent to cause the house to break apart into pieces. Electronic devices intent on physical abuse to the point of crippling a person's body. People with the intent to murder the homeowner to confiscate the property. People that were supposedly neighbors.
| I am currently 70-years old and do not have much hope for a future. My future looks very bleak due to the negligence and/or ignorance of law enforcement personnel. People in criminal justice classes have been taught to use Virtual Reality to recreate crime scenes for the purpose of analytic evaluation. However, in the real world, law enforcement personnel do not seem to connect Virtual Reality software enhancements that are utilized to commit crimes. My only hope is to expose the fact that the criminal justice training is being used as an excuse for blaming a victim and/or labeling them as an incompetent. I want Congress and the Administration to know that law enforcement personnel do not give the impression that they have any criminal justice education and/or training whatsoever. Law enforcement personnel are not effective with crimes that are being committed with computerized technology.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | This brutality from my so-called neighbors has been allowed to abuse every person that lives in a 20-30-mile radius surrounding my home. I cannot be the only person suffering with the loss of mobility. I cannot be the only victim of physical pain caused by my environment. I know that this abusive power source could end my life. I know that my fingers appear to be suffering with what looks like burn trauma, i.e., skin melting to the sides of my fingertips, etc. I know that my eyesight is being taken away without a legitimate medical reason. I know that my hands look like they have been cut to pieces with laser precision.

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 dear elderly friend Margie L. Smith who lives in Seattle, WA, who's been a friend of my family for 80 years isn't being treated with respect, dignity and honor at the golden age of 99. She's been deliberately deprived of her cell phone so I have no way of knowing her current status. To say the least, I'm heart broken and want to shine a light on this elderly injustice. The perpetrators is her narcissist daughter a retired performing Arts teacher at Seattle Academy and son-in-law who is medical doctor, active license with conditions. I filed a complaint on June 23, 2022 with dshs and from my knowledge the investigator didn't go to the house until September 27, 2022, which give them enough time to cover up the abuse. I'm baffled at how this doctor uses multiple names and pictures to deceive the public and get away with it. I've reached out to her daughter and son-in-law asking if I can talk to her or come to see her and they sent me a text message describing criminal trespassing. I feel powerless, when challenging a physician and feel justice will not be served because of his title. My daughter and I have traveled to Seattle three times last year 2022 and the last visit they refused to let us visit, despite the police going to the house and Margie telling the officers she would like to see me. The daughter and son-in-law made false claims about me. This has been traumatizing and heartbreaking for us. We were very close, like family.
DSHS/APS hasn't given me an explanation for their delayed response in visiting Margie and there findings. I would like an investigation of DSHS/APS files pertaining to this case and how it was conducted. Please help me, help my elderly friend. If you have any questions please email or call me @773.425.8487.
Respectful,
Liza Hicks
| Elder abuse is real and not only happens to individuals from low income families or persons in nursing homes. Friends can be closer than family but the law doesn't recognize such relationships. Grieving a live person is the hardest thing I've endured in my life.
| I wish I was more knowledgeable/aware about emotional abuse.
| That elder abuse would be taken more seriously and that elders are treated with the respect, dignity and love they deserve.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Please contact me with any questions, I have audio recordings and photos to back up my words. Thank you.

| August 28, 2025 | Robert McDonald | 65681 | 4172940272 | 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)

| That it's absolutely atrocious and affects many.

| November 7, 2024 | Hunter | 88061 | caridaddecobre@yahoo.com | Three days before Christmas of 2023, I signed for a certified legal letter with a threat to evict me unless I complied with certain conditions dictated by my son-in-law and daughter. They own this run-down casita that I have called home since 2021. I immediately replied to the threat by citing legal precedent and sending their attorney a copy of the checks that I contributed toward the purchase of this property. I assured their lawyer that I would contest any formal eviction myself in a court of law. Soon this esquire informed me that he no longer represented my family. At the time, I was 70 years old with no husband or income other than social security.
It should be noted that my only child was born out of conflict, not love. I fornicated with a cruel and creative man because I was homeless; I could not abort. The father of my child was pathological with money–a trait he passed on to his only child and so much more insidious than the beautiful blue eyes she inherited from him. My daughter insisted that if I did not vacate this casita voluntarily, that no landlord would ever rent to me again. Her attempt to play into my biggest fear–homelessness–was also a form of abuse perpetrated with malicious intent in my humble opinion.
| During the pandemic, I contributed a large portion of my savings toward the purchase of this historic property in Silver City. An agreement was made in good faith–I would reside in the smallest dwelling place. However, when I finally set foot into that tiny space, I realized it would feel as if I were confined to a prison cell. I opted to spend the final chapter of my life in a three-room casita on this property built in 1877. Initially this was acceptable, but greed surfaced. A source of contention was my survival after my second heart surgery in 2021. My daughter asked me what I believe to have been an abusive question: “What if you live another 20 years?” I assured her that I didn’t have the money or desire to live into extreme old age. Unsatisfied, she persisted: “But what if you do?”
| Despite having no criminal history, it was decided that I can no longer have contact with my only grandchild. I believe this is a form of punishment for not complying with their demands. The structures on this land are high maintenance, in constant need of repair. The resident handyman yelled, cursed and raised his hand at me in a threatening gesture. My family refused to evict or run a criminal background check on him. Eventually this angry man yelled at an 80-year-old Air B and B cleaner working on this property. Appalled and concerned for our safety, I then decided to file a complaint against Handy-Andy with the local police. Was my son-in-law's refusal to evict/background check this verbally abusive worker elder abuse? You decide.
| My hope for the future is to live out the rest of my life without ever being homeless again.
| No | Yes | No | |
| April 6, 2024 | Maria | 23451 | marialer57@gmail.com | This is the story of my mother being in Lake Taylor transitional care Hospital in Norfolk Virginia. Her name is Sofia Dimovich. She first was admitted to Lake Taylor transitional care hospital for rehabilitation. But due to the fact that she has stage four breast cancer congestive heart failure and stage 5/6 dementia.It was determined that she needs skilled nursing home care 24 seven.
My mother first was in the dogwood unit at Lake Taylor. This was the start of her demise. She had developed numerous bedsores because she was left in the bed for days. Their reasoning was that she did not want to get out of bed. This person has dementia. There is a special way of talking to an individual with dementia. The situation even got worse because she became dehydrated and had to go to the ER.
She had additional visits to the ER because of her decrease in health which was contributed by the lack of care (lack of basic care)and neglect from the staff at Lake Taylor nursing home. Her health had deteriorated oh rapidly that she is now on palliative care. But she is not being taken care of with palliative care. I have witnessed many occasions where her food was left on the tray with out helping her eat. She is supposed to be checked every 2 to 3 hours.II have to ask if they’re going to give her a shower. I have continuously asked to have her dressed daily and placed in a chair to avoid bedsores from getting worse. but with the worst is is that they don’t know what she ate when someone supposed to be sitting with her.
On One occasion I was told that if they” got her up that they could not put her back into bed until after the second shift “,which I knew it was a lie. There has been many times when she has been soiled and has rang her bell for a long period of time without being taken care of. She has even fallen out of her bed. The act of care during her meal time is cruelty. She is supposed to be watched or helped during meal time. She is supposed to have a Magic dessert that has high protein during two of her meals. But this is not always the case.
After returning from another stay in the ICU unit at the hospital her weight was 130 on the day of her arrival in January by March she had lost another 15 pounds she is currently down to 113. This is pure neglect. They don’t want to take the time to help her during feeding time. She is a very picky eater but if you just give her a magic dessert and Ensure that would at least help maintain her weight. They continuously make excuses that she does not wanna get out of bed. Of course she doesn’t because of fear.Plus she has dementia.
| The reason why I am sharing the story is because I have met other family members at Lake Taylor transitional Hospital that have had the same experience with the staff. I think that it would help if the facility provided appropriate staff training to implement proper care of patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s. This shouldn’t just be a reason to take money from elderly people without caring for them. I want people to remember that when you have a family member with dementia that it’s your responsibility to be their advocate. People should not be afraid to speak out in order to improve living conditions for the elderly in any type of facility.
| That it does happen. And that someday we all are going to get old and that we need family ,friends ,even strangers to be able to address abuse ,neglect or fraud. Please Remember that a facility does have an obligation to treat their patients with consideration ,respect and dignity no matter what their acute illnesses may be. It does matter.
| My hopes for the future is that there is more training for staff members. Higher pay for caretakers in nursing homes or assistant living. And elimination of shortage of staffing problems. Developing respect and appropriate care for aging population.

| August 22, 2023 | Liza | 60616 | 7734258487 | 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.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I have pictures depicting the abuse my dear friend had to endure. How can I get them to you via email?

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

Shattered Dreams: A Three-Pronged Injustice. By Pam Trainor
I was merely assisting a former high school teacher of mine, when a half sister and adopted nephew falsely accused my of elder abuse.
It is a true story of fraudulent guardianship. I am exposing
law enforcement, lawyers, prosecutors, perjury , hospitals and emergency medical evaluations, assisted living facilities, and actual family members who have done this to their own elder, out of greed.
| I was an auxiliary police officer, a volunteer firefighter, and a fire safety inspector for daycare homes and centers, with a long history of helping friends, neighbors, and family. All the false accusations could have been and should have been investigated and validated as false, within 24hr.. but they werent.
| What happened to me and my former teacher...could happen to anyone... this is absolutely FRIGHTENING.
I had the resources to fight it, but it took 3 years, and the police and prosecutors maliciously prosecuted me with absolutely no evidence. They actually charged me with Extortion to arrest me, and then changed it to Elder Financial Abuse, when bank statements proved that false, they changed it to "Intent" to steal.
The felony charges terminated my job and I was unable to get any employment for 3 years.
| I hope my requests (to the FBI and DOJ in 4 states) for investigation and prosecution and immediate removal as a guardianof the eldee, and of those involved, who lied and who failed to protect the senior even knowing that there was a hearing for a protective order in place, are held accountable and given serious consequences for their abuse. And that what I have exposed in great detain and supported with solid documentation, helps to change policy, procedure and training of law enforcement, prosecutors, hospitals, doctors, lawyers, and the courts. Civil liberty violations against seniors is running rampant in the US. It has to stop. Everything I write in the book is fully documented. Nothing has been embellished. Reviews have been, "it's gut wrenching" and "it brought us to tears"
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I have contacted (and sent a book to) local tv (wbal, wmar, wbff, wjz, Fox Nation Nancy Grace, Ben Crumb, Wect news in Wilmington NC, the Brunswick Beacon in Sunset Beach NC, the FBI, and the DOJ In MD, NC, FL, PA and TX as well as President Biden and former President Trump.
My book is avail on Amazon in ebook and paperback. I will send you a copy if you send me your physical address. The book sells for just $10, as I wanted it to be affordable for all.

| September 8, 2024 | Jeanine | 93727 | 559-277-2027 | 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.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | 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.

| October 17, 2025 | Paul McCarthy | 96796 | Littlejetman@protonmail.com | On 25 September 2025 coming home from dinner, my wife and I noticed someone was in our house and had broken in. We called the police.
My wife is 84 and I’m 63. The police showed up went in the house. The people in the house were actually my wife’s daughter who owns a portion of the house and her boyfriend who we believe is involved with methamphetamine dealing.
The police removed my wife and I from the house stating that her daughter had a right to be there. I explained to the police that my wife was handicapped and she was afraid to be there and to sleep in her own bed. They did not care. in fact, the police were so jealous. They helped the people who broke into our house to change the locks. I explained I had a lease. They were swearing at me and telling me to shut up on several occasions. We have this all on film where they were apologizing after screaming at me and my wife and terrorizing us.
We’ve tried to report it and no one seems to want to help us here on the island of Kauai.
My wife is due for surgery this week. They forced us to go for a TRO.
The judge was so callous she wouldn’t give us an extension in spite of my wife’s upcoming knee surgery. And now I have to go to the hearing again today, Friday, 17 October, here On Kauai and family court with my wife. In spite of the fact she’s got a Woten problem that’s been documented a gallbladder issue and needs a new knee. She’s been enduring mental attacks from her daughter for 15 years.
I’ve been enduring racial slurs crash thrown out deaf threats for at least 10 years from her daughter and boyfriend. It appears that the police are on their side almost like it’s a profitable business to be run. Apparently they want to turn the house which was once a crackhouse when the daughter was in control of it 10 years ago, back into a crack house again we could certainly use some help. It’s definitely an interesting story and I’m sure the videos will surprise everyone please contact me thank you.
| Elder abuse is rampant and institutionalized on the islands of Hawaii
| Frain abuse is unbelievable, especially with the local police the way they treat elderly and handicapped individuals actually a federal crime
| I hope that we can get some assistance with some legal aid as we don’t have any money because I’m paying for her healthcare out of my pocket mostly even though she has insurance and they won’t do anything for unless they do what they wanna do first which I believe is fraud perpetrated by the state of Hawaii and its people And the government doesn’t care about its people
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Never thought there’d be so so much negligence and abuse of elders in paradise

| December 21, 2023 | Myrna Sumiran Lavoie | 94565 | myrna.lav1122@gmail.com | My story is grand theft, financial abuse from a 52 year old man who was 46 when he tricked me. The full story is at Q2, it's also at Gofundme titled "Scammed Elderly" as I'm trying to raise funds to hire lawyers to take him to court and achieve justice and/or he pays what he owes which is $105,000.
| Hi, I'm Myrna Sumiran Lavoie of Pittsburg, California, I'm 82 years old. A very warm and heartfelt greetings to all. I'm asking for help because I was scammed badly by a 52 year old man named Kulwinder Shergill Singh (or KSS).
I wrote my Congressman John Garamendi & Josh Harder of Stockton in February 2023, also wrote CA Senator Alex Padilla and Governor Gavin Newsome's office. Their reps said it's out of their jurisdiction. I wrote pres. Biden and VP Harris, White House staff wrote back, stated my case has been forwarded to the proper Fed agency but I haven't received any call or email up to now. I wrote to all news outlet, only one replied on Feb. 2023 yet never contacted me again.
I filed an FTC complaint in April, also wrote CA. Attorney General Rob Bonta but they all can't help me. I called the FBI, they recommended CA. state bar association. I called them, the rep said it will cost over $75,000, same with other lawyers. I called the Elderly Fraud Hotline, they can't help, suggested the Department Of Justice. I filed a fraud/grand theft report to the DOJ on Apr. 29, 2023 and a 3949-A form (tax violation) with the IRS in mid May, no reply up to now. I hope someone can help me make KSS face justice, there's no other entities I can turn to.
Below is the story.
Back in June 2017, while my car was being serviced at KSS car shop in Stockton (he was 46 then), I mentioned to him my plan to sell my house in Stockton for $140,000. I had a breast cancer in late 2016, underwent double mastectomy and radiation therapy. Was finally in remission by June 2017, needed to sell the house which my youngest son bought in 2012 per my request to keep me active. But I can no longer maintain it due to poor health.
I took my old car to KSS's shop whenever it needed oil change and inflating tires, he and his fiance were nice & friendly. He always brought me cold water to drink, spent time to talk which I rarely get from my two sons who are always busy at work.
He inspected my property in July 2017 and offered $125,000 which I accepted. I agreed to his request not to hire a realty agent and title company, it saves 6% commission charge by the 2 party's realty brokers plus the title company's fees. This equates to around $15,000 which allowed the house to be lowered from $140,00 to $125,000. I agreed to his request as he's really kind & nice. He promised to pay with a Bank Of America cashier's check from a joint account of him and his mom on or before Aug. 2017. He told me they have over $100,000 which came from sold properties in India.
However, before KSS scheduled date to pay his initial downpayment, he gave me a Purchase Agreement which he asked me to have my son sign being the owner of the property. This Purchase Agreement states that my son is selling his house to KSS for $50,000 only. The document was prepared by KSS's Notary whom he borrowed $20,000 from for the downpayment. He said he needs a $50,000 Purchase Agreement so he can borrow $50,000 from an Indian friend who has a Financial Service Co. that also lends money. He told me he needs this extra cash as the joint bank account between him and his mom containing +$100,000 will be depleted in fully paying me. He said he shouldn't be low in cash being a car shop owner, always needing back up money for his business. I agreed to this Purchase Agreement to help him, also to get the transaction going. Thus, I coaxed my son to sign the Grant Deed and be notarized under KSS name as well as to sign the Purchase Agreement.
When KSS and I went to Bank of America in August 2017 using my car, he didn't let me go with him to the cashier's window, had me wait at the bank's lounge chair. When he returned, he said his mother withdrew $100,000 from their joint account. We then went to his car shop where I had to use the bathroom as there's none in the bank, Ieaving my papers in my big brown envelope inside my car. I couldn't find the Grant Deed in my brown envelope 2-3 days later. I think he took it while I was in the bathroom. When I went to the County Recorder's office, I was told my house was already recorded in his name.
When I went to him to ask about this transfer, he had a sudden change of personality. He was no longer nice, demanded I leave and never see him again. But I went again to his shop a few days later, he was so loud and nasty. He threatened something real bad will happen to me or any of my offsprings if I don't stop going to his shop, pursuing this matter. He sold my house a year later (August 2018) for $140,000 after renting it out for 1 year. My biggest mistake was coaxing my son to sign the Grant Deed and $50,000 Purchase Agreement that KSS made thru his Notary, telling my son that KSS is a trustworthy, kind, nice man. He promised to pay the $125,000 that we both agreed to, there's no way my son and I will sell the house for only $50,000 since my son spent over $60,000 in buying and fixing that house in 2012. Also, houses of that size in Stockton were selling over $140,000 in 2017.
Yet in spite of the $50,000 Purchase Agreement, KSS only paid $20,000 that was borrowed from his Notary. Hence, everything he told me was a lie, to convince me to sell the house to him. KSS methodically tricked me step by step by offering things that seemed advantageous to us both when it only benefitted him. He kept giving proposals which I agreed to being so trustful of him, not realizing he's already defrauding me. First, by offering to buy the house for $125,000 which was ok, having proposed a way to save $15,000 via not using a realtor and title company. Then he said he and his mother has a joint bank account containing over $100,000 from sold properties in India which I believed due to him having a car shop.
Then he convinced me to a $50,000 Purchase Agreement so that he won't be short of money for his shop. I was concerned of his business and thus, agreed to his requests. It's only later on that I realized he will have a legal document to show ($50,000 Purchase Agreement) in case he reneges on our $125,000 agreement. My biggest mistake was being so trusting & naive. But that's how we elderlies are as seen by our numerous scam stories not only here at Go Fund Me but anywhere in USA.
Overall, his promise to pay the remaining balance ($105,000) was a big lie just like the many other things he said. He methodically set me up badly step by step even if he knew I recently had breast cancer. He profited huge by selling my house in August 2018 for $140,000, also rented it out for 1 year before selling it.
He caused me severe emotional stress since mid 2017 after recovering from breast cancer, I wasted the last 5 years doing attorney-like, legal papers so as to take him to court. I don't have $75,000 for attorney fees and thus, I had to do the papers myself when I'm not even a lawyer. I have 3 big boxes of all these papers as seen at my photo. I've been to the doctor many times starting mid 2017 due to high BP, high blood sugar, lack of sleep/rest, frequent nausea, vomiting, dizziness, light headedness, etc. All due to the stress KSS caused me, was even hospitalized. I have records of all visits to the MD and hospital since mid 2017.
I also feared for my life and my sons if I visit KSS again. But a 76 year old lady friend encouraged me to pursue justice. Hence, we went to his abode in 2021. He got mad at me for still pursuing him; told us he no longer has the money ($140,000), used them to pay his debts to people he defrauded before me. Even the previous D.A. was after him, he told me in front of my 76 year old friend to stop the D.A. from harassing him. I reported him to Stockton police in 2017 who turned it to the D.A.
When I went to his shop in early 2021, it was already closed. I stopped pursuing him in 2018 after his threats, it's only now that I have the courage to pursue again. I told this to his 17 year old son Lakhbir Shergill (nicknamed Bir, he's 23 now) in 2017, asked him to help me. He said he can't interfere with his dad's affairs. I went to KSS brother's shop called Gill's Tires & Auto Repair also in Stockton, he also said he can't interfere with KSS affair.
I contacted several news outlets hoping some or one features this story so that it doesn't happen to others especially elderlies. I also wrote Bay Area representatives hoping someone takes interest and author a bill requiring County recorder employees to contact the previous owner or family members first to verify the transfer of a property before recording it under the new owner (i.e. the grant deed named to) so as to prevent fraud, theft.
Any help, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. The money will be used to hire lawyers to finally bring KSS to justice as the statute of limitation for elder scam or abuse is 10 years plus any other charges the attorneys can come up with. Will be great to hire high profile lawyers like Gloria Allred, et al who fights scam-abuse on women. I will return all the money donated or donate them to all the other scammed elderlies at Gofundme once KSS finally pays the $105K he owes or the law trace where he wired the money (e.g. an associate) from selling my house.
If Bir happens to read this, I hope he's a good adult now and do the right thing via paying what his dad owe. KSS always said in 2016-17 he pays for Lakbir's upbringing and eventual college attendance. Bir also told me this on why he can't interfere with his dad's affairs being dependent on him.
KSS needs to be brought to justice or put in jail (it's 4-5 years for financial elder abuse), he's getting brazen, his crimes are increasing. I googled him, he has many, was even booked this Sept. for assault with a deadly weapon. I failed to google him in 2017, some or many of us elderlies are tech unsavvy but I'm trying to improve. It won't be long when KSS scams and/or physically hurt another person, he needs to spend time in prison to make him change.
Misdemeanors are only given 6 months max, or he simply may have been booked and spend a few days in jail, won't change him. If I take him to court with your help, he will be compelled to pay what he owes or be jailed 4-5 years. Bir, his brother who's also a car shop owner, and others can help him, lend him money then he pays them later being his family.
Please help me bring KSS to justice, it will also be victory for folks he victimized before & after me. We immigrants vowed not to do harm upon migration here in USA, be an asset or contribute to it, not victimizing others. Yet he keeps getting away with his rotten, evil deeds. Won't be long when KSS has a new heinous case online, he needs to be stopped instead of always thinking he's untouchable, can beat/escape the law or the law doesn't apply to him or the law will never catch up to him, knowing how to evade it.
He's also known as Lucky (his nickname) to his family and community. His old shop in Stockton was called Lucky's Tireshop & Auto Repair. His luck of always successfully victimizing others, evading justice, knowing his way around US laws, making a mockery of them or getting away with his foul deeds need to end. Thanks and God bless you all.
| Be very careful of person(s) who are so nice to you when it comes to properties and/or money matters. Chances are, they're after what you have. Don't easily trust anyone, always use a lawyer or a 3rd party who handles financial matters so that you won't get tricked, scammed, deceived like me.
| Kulwinder face justice and/or he pays the $105,000 he owes. I need media exposure for it to happen.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Please help me, I need media exposure to finally achieve justice. I'm still within 10 years statute for elder abuse. Thanks & Happy Holidays.

| February 16, 2023 | Robin | 91360 | robinreilly5@gmail.com | My sister and I learned in June 2021 that our 83 year old father was being financially exploited and abused by his live in girlfriend. At the time he lived in Oklahoma City, and we lived in California. We received a phone call from our Aunt and Uncle in Oklahoma. They lived near my father and had recently discovered that his girlfriend had listed his house for sale on Zillow without his knowledge. She had committed fraud by claiming the house as the owner and listed all correspondence about his home to go to her phone number and email. Zillow also owns Trulia, which meant the house was listed on that site as well. Our dad's brother, also our Uncle, was named on our dad's checking account as a co-signer. Our Uncle also managed our dad's estate and shared a family trust with him. Our Uncle would often make sure our dad's account was not in the red and would make sure some of his more costly bills were paid for. In other words, he would deposit money into our dad's account intermittently when larger bills were due (i.e.-car/homeowners insurance). On the day we received the phone call our Uncle had found out from the bank that he had been removed as co-signer and my dad's girlfriend had now been added as both a co-signer and joint member of the account. The banker knew my Aunt and Uncle personally and shared concerns about my dad's girlfriend and more importantly concerns about my dad. Our Aunt and Uncle had also received a phone call from their insurance agent. Our dad had the same agent and inquired several times about getting a life insurance policy. They told him each time that they did not work with life insurance, only auto and homeowners insurance. They were worried that he seemed confused and continued to ask about it. Important to note, our father already had life insurance for years. And, lastly, the neighbor was worried about our dad. She had seen the listing on Zillow and asked if he was moving. He emphatically said, "No!" and then was shown the listing on Zillow. According to his neighbor/friend he immediately appeared confused. He was then asked by the neighbor if he was now married to his girlfriend. Again, he said, "No!" It was brought to his attention that the girlfriend was telling everyone they were now married. The combination of all of these things happening at once raised huge concerns by our Aunt and Uncle and prompted them to call me and my sister as soon as possible. When we were contacted we knew that our dad was planning a trip to Florida with his girlfriend, and they had planned to leave the next week on June 28th. On the same day our Aunt and Uncle called I had talked with my dad. He shared with me about his trip. It was a 10 day trip to The Villages in Florida. At some point in the conversation he said to me, "Who knows, maybe I'll just come live with you." I was confused and thought it was an odd statement, but didn't question it. I had room in my home now that 2 of my children were grown and moved out, so I responded with, "Of course, You can always come live with us." I found out later in the day that he had told my sister not to tell anyone that he was planning to move away to live at The Villages in Florida. It was peculiar that he didn't want to tell anyone, but my first thought was that he didn't want to upset my Aunt and Uncle that he was planning to move away. Now, in hindsight, I think his girlfriend wanted him to keep it a secret. We all, my sister, aunt and uncle met several times via zoom/group phone calls to discuss what we needed to do. Because of COVID neither my sister or I had traveled to see my dad, but now that we were all vaccinated we were in a better place to travel to Oklahoma immediately. Both my sister and I called our dad to express our concerns and begged him not to take the trip to Florida with his girlfriend. We also let him know that we would be out there to see him as soon as possible. He thanked my sister for initiating the conversation about our concerns and let her know that he had decided not to go to Florida. His girlfriend went without him which made it possible for us to immediately fly out to Oklahoma to see our dad. I was planning to visit him in July anyway, but not under these circumstances. He was open to a visit from both of us, but was also feeling that we were all "ganging up" on him, and was somewhat defensive when I arrived. When I arrived in Oklahoma I was horrified to see his extreme weight loss and unhealthy living conditions. His girlfriend had moved into the main bedroom with all of her furniture and clothing. The main bedroom was huge. It had room for a sitting area, sleeping area, and office space. Additionally, there was a large walk-in closet and very large bathroom. Nothing in there was his. There were photos on the wall of herself and all of her own framed wall hangings. There was a dresser that was my dad's (he bought it special with his second wife who had passed away in 2004) she was using for her own things. Otherwise, there was nothing of my dad's. He had moved all of his things into the small bedroom (the size of a small nursery) and was using the other bathroom for himself. He had a special custom made desk that his second wife had purchased for him on his 60th birthday that was nowhere to be found. It had been placed in storage to make room for all of his girlfriend's stuff. There was custom made, very expensive, dining room table that was completely covered with the girlfriend's art supplies. Boxes were placed underneath the table with more art supplies. The walls were covered with her art along with her family photos. The dining room was wall to wall with her arts and crafts, and it was difficult to walk around in there. The living room had a small couch of my dad's and his second wife's special chair. Everything else in there was unrecognizable. It was all his girlfriend's. One small section about the special chair had some framed artwork that was my dad's. There was a large bookcase with her family photos everywhere. I knew my dad had framed family pictures, but I couldn't find them anywhere on the bookshelf or on the walls. I then noticed way up high on the shelf at the far corner a framed photo of my sister, my dad and myself. I had given it to my dad many years ago, and it seemed hidden amongst all of her stuff. She had photos in the small hallway of herself and old pictures with her boyfriend from the 1970's, Clint Eastwood (yes it was the actor). She had a photo book that she had made and titled it "My Memories". Every single photo was just a picture of her. I then realized there were no photos of my dad with her. I started to look for some sign of one, and then I saw it. There was a framed photo of my dad and her when they went to Vegas in February 2020. I didn't recognize my dad. He was even thinner in the photo. He looked emaciated. It scared me. I had never seen him so thin and gaunt. Later on I saw in his medical records that his weight was one pound away from being considered malnourished at the time the photo was taken. During a visit from my dad in December 2018 he mentioned that his new girlfriend was a "life coach" and was using him as "kind of like a client". She had him stop drinking alcohol (which I was fine with), and also had him stop drinking coffee. My dad always loved his coffee so I thought that was a bit odd and questioned him about it. He seemed okay with it at the time, and because he seemed happy and healthy I never thought more about it, until this visit in 2021. Now looking back, I realize that was a red flag on how she was treating him. I went into his office, and saw a large massage chair that appeared to be very new. When asked about it my dad said they bought it together at the county/state fair. I asked if he actually used it, and he said "no." It is very unlike my dad's personality to make such an expensive purchase let alone use a chair like that. The chair was bought in his girlfriend's name for $6,000.00 on a payment plan. We discovered my dad was making monthly payments on the chair, not her. I also noticed in his office on the far wall to the side, were two canvas pictures of his grandkids. My sister and I each sent him one respectively (my 3 boys and her 2 daughters). It made sense to see them up on the wall, but those were really the only family photos of his in the entire house. I would say that 85% of the stuff in the house now was the girlfriend's. When asked about where his things were he said that they were in storage because there was no room for anything. His small bedroom was crammed with furniture, and clothing. In the corner behind a dresser were a lot of his own framed pictures that appeared to have been removed and placed in a corner. Many of them were purchased from artists and specially framed. They were now all shoved in a corner. When asked about the checking account he said that he was struggling with his bills and simply asked his girlfriend to take care of his finances. I asked if she had her own personal account and if she closed that to share finances with him. He said she did have her own account but "no, she did not share her finances." When I went to turn on the television I noticed it wasn't hooked up correctly and he had no idea how to use the remote controls. He had been unable to access television. When I figured out how to connect everything I saw there was a netflix account. I went to check for a movie and realized that the girlfriend and her adult children, adult grandson were using netflix. I discovered our dad was paying for directv along with netflix for the girlfriend and her family. I asked my dad if he ever watched tv. He said not a lot but he did like watching the show Monk a lot. I noticed in the corner of the living room a box with a dvd collection of several seasons of Monk. Was she keeping him from watching television and made him believe he was watching Monk on the tv all the time? My father seemed very confused and overwhelmed about everything. We were extremely worried about him. The girlfriend had three cats that she left with him to care for and administer medicine to. We discovered that she had traveled for approximately 8 weeks over the course of three months prior to our visit (Mid April to Mid June). She was in Colorado, Florida, Texas and Wyoming, and now Florida for 10 days. Before she left for Florida she and my dad went together for a routine doctor's appointment for my dad. During the visit she requested to be added to the list of emergency contacts in his records. She then proceeded to ask the doctor to do a memory test. She obviously knew he was struggling with his memory. When we went to the bank to meet with the banker regarding his account we discovered he had cashed out annuities from life insurance policies. There were large overpayments made on credit cards ($800 for a $100 bill) and duplicate payments made to an AT&T account. This was based on statements since his girlfriend was added to the account. We were very concerned. We discovered that his girlfriend was trying to get on his account and have access to it since May 2021; however, her requests were over the phone because she was out of the state and needed to come in person to do so. She also requested a meeting with on of the Mortgage Brokers at the bank. Based on the Zillow listing we had reason to believe she was trying to add her name to the title. We contacted AT&T and found a bill from them, and discovered the girlfriend, her 56 year old daughter, and her daughter's 33 year old son were all on the account listed under my dad's name. They all had brand new iPhones. Plus the girlfriend had a new iWatch. Our dad had an older iPhone model, the iPhone 8, and he had two phones, one with a local area code, and the other was his phone number he had for 20+ years. He also had an iWatch which he "lost" and has no idea what happened to it. We discovered my dad was paying for a large storage unit (10'x20'). The majority of items belonged to the girlfriend. We also discovered that my dad's special custom made desk was in the storage along with a very nice couch he had with his wife. He had no room in his home for them, because the girlfriend took over the majority of the space in the house when she moved in. Along with a few boxes and a folded card table with 4 folding chairs, those were the only items that were his. The rest of the storage was packed with all of her things. There seemed to be absolutely no reason why he wouldn't be able to keep his special items with him in his home. Consequently, she was living rent free in his home and able to have free storage for all of her items. We discovered on a different checking account that he was making payments to the girlfriend for groceries and dinner. On one occasion he had paid for a $56 dinner on his bank card and then proceeded to pay her again for the same amount on the same day and listed in the memo "dinner". It appeared she was requesting he reimburse her for meals and groceries on a regular basis. While we were in Oklahoma the girl friend called our dad at night to let him know she was worried that a payment had not gone through for his Barclay credit card, and needed him to talk with Barclay to confirm the payment. The payment she was referring to was in fact the overpayment of $800 she made one week earlier. During the phone call there was a great deal of confusion, and our dad became anxious and confused. He would go into his office and close the door to talk with his girlfriend and then with Barclay's. My sister and I were still in a great deal of shock and confused ourselves as to what was happening. The next day we contacted Barclay's with our dad. Barclay had suspected fraudulent activity from the girlfriend and had shut the card down. When we found out we asked our dad where his credit cards were. He realized they were gone and we searched everywhere for them in the house. We asked if he gave them to the girlfriend, but his response was "No, I don't think so." We then suspected that the girlfriend had taken all of his credit cards with her to Florida, and believe she tried to use that specific card while in Florida and it was declined. We later discovered that she was then able to use his American Express card. There were several charges from The Villages on his card. The first few days of our visit in Oklahoma the girlfriend sent a text to our dad to share with us. The text stated that she was helping our father with his finances because he was struggling with them. She said her goal was to buy a place in Florida (The Villages) and to help him keep his home in Oklahoma so that he can live comfortably and go visit her. She continued by stating that she had "the book" (involving his finances) with her in Florida and that if we wanted to contact her she would go over everything with us. We were now very concerned. Why was his house for sale on Zillow/Trulia? Why does she have the book with her and why does she have all of his credit cards. We did not call her due to our lack of trust and concerns. At one point our father was busy on the phone with her, and I decided to go into her room to see if there was anything suspicious. I was standing by her desk and looked down to find a notepad with information about my father. I looked closer and found what appeared to be "the book" she said she had with her. She had everything noted about my father in the book, social security number, credit card numbers, life insurance policies and information about how much $ for each of them, usernames/passwords, checking account information, key events/information about my father often used for two-step verification on accounts (i.e.-mother's maiden name, favorite pet's name, father's birthdate). We were astounded and now very very concerned. He had no idea about the book and why all that information was listed on there. We discovered our father's mortgage payments were behind, and he had not paid his homeowners fees in months. His house was on lien and we needed to contact the mortgage company and homeowners association immediately. When we spoke with the HOA they said they had talked with our dad's girlfriend in May and stated that when she called she said, "I am his wife, well his fiancée, well I'm his girlfriend. Well, I'm a lot of things to him." The HOA Representative then stated she asked for information on how to pay his debt, and was given a form to complete and return. The HOA never received a form and never received any payments after that. We discussed with the HOA our concerns and requested to meet with them to work through the current situation. The next day we also discovered that our father's name had been removed from the gate code key pad to his community. We instead found the girlfriend's last name added to gate code. We requested to remove her name immediately and reinstate our father's name. We also asked them to confirm there was no one else with the same last name living there. HOA confirmed that no one with that last name lived there, and inquired about it with the facilities management team. They informed us that the name was removed and replaced with our father's name. We believe the girlfriend removed his name. As the week progressed our concerns about our dad's health safety and overall well-being grew. We were very worried that he was not safe in the house alone with the girlfriend. We had no choice but to bring him back to California to sort through everything. We immediately bought him a ticket to come back home with me stay with us while we sorted through everything. We brought the book with us to California as it had all of his personal information. We quickly had a lawyer draw up the documents for Power of Attorney. We discussed with our father and had the documents signed and notarized. Next we had our father close out his joint account with her and open a new account with my sister and myself. First and foremost, we needed to keep our dad safe. He was very worried about what to tell her. When we said, "Let her know you are going to California to visit my grandkids and daughters for awhile", he was still worried and seemed afraid of how she might react. When we got to California his behavior was similar to something like Stockholm syndrome. Approximately two days after he arrived he contacted his girlfriend on the phone in front of me. She was loud enough that I could hear her. She said loudly to him, "They will take all of OUR money." There was then a pause in the conversation and she quickly and in a more quiet tone said, "Well, they will take all of your money." She had been upset that we brought the book home with us, not to mention our father was now safe with us. A few days later the girlfriend contacted my father and said there was a police officer parked in front of the house and she had thought my sister and I had contacted the police on her. She seemed to react in a paranoid way, and accused us of calling the police. When we told our father that we had no idea what she was talking about he did not believe us, and started to get angry with us. The very next day several cars were parked at our father's house, and his girl friend along with some of her friends proceeded to load up their cars with her things. It appeared that she was moving out very quickly. During that time, she purchased storage tubs and an electronic item for $350 using our father's American Express card. He had sent several text messages to her stating the following, "Please allow (her name) to use my American Express card for money owed to her." It appeared that she had coerced and manipulated him into sending the text message. Our father did not owe her any money. During this time of overwhelming chaos for our family, we asked the girlfriend and her family members to remove their phones from our father's AT&T account. We requested a "Transfer of Billing Responsibility" for all three of them, and asked them to take care of it in the next two weeks, giving them a deadline so their phone bills would not rollover into the next cycle. The girlfriend seemingly took care of it within a few days. The daughter asked us to change the name of her 33 year old son's phone to her name, and we asked her to take care of removing the phones immediately, she became agitated with us. She then stated that her son was a "minor with a disability" (neither of which were true) which we found incredibly odd. Reluctantly, I contacted AT&T myself and asked them to change the name. We just needed them to change their billing responsibility. After the two weeks had passed I went to check the bill to make sure they were all removed. None of them were. In fact, the girlfriend had created some type of "grandfather clause" account and placed her phone on a $2 per minute charge. The daughter had done nothing. The bill was now $1500 ($1200 for the girlfriend alone). I contacted AT&T and reported the situation. AT&T honored the request to remove t$1200 charge. They recommended shutting down their phones if they do not honor our request. Almost everyday for two weeks I was on the phone with AT&T and sending emails to the daughter to remove her two phones from our father's account. Important to note-Our father met the daughter one time on a visit to Colorado. He was in the relationship with the girlfriend for 2.5 years, and during that time she had traveled and been away for at least 12 months. In other words, the relationship was not long term, and she was often absent and away due to extended travel. I had sent emails stating that we would need to shut down the daughter's phone and her son's phone if they rolled over into the next billing cycle. And, let her know the cost of the phones since our dad would be held responsible for paying them off. At the final day I contacted AT&T and had the phones shut off. She did not do what we requested, and we extended the timeframe to one month to get it done. She was able to take care of it within the 24 hours that I made the call to disconnect their services, and she was eventually able to remove her phones. I received a disturbing correspondence from her, during the entire exchange. I spent hours dealing with her and AT&T. My dad would never have been able to keep up with the high AT&T bill or continue to be responsible for the girlfriend and her family. It was extremely exploitative in nature and abusive towards our father. Once all phones were removed we were relieved, but unfortunately our father still had two phones and a watch he still needed to make payments on. As a result, we had to keep the account until he had enough money to pay off everything and open a new account with just one phone. It was now been two months since we dealt with AT&T and my father received a phone call from his girlfriend asking to be reimbursed for payments she made to AT&T at the end of August and September. She asked our father to mail her a check. We were very worried about this request and let our father know that she was not on the account anymore. I went to look at the payment history and she had made unnecessary payments to his account. We contacted AT&T and reported her to the fraud department. We also explained to our father that we would not be able to reimburse her the money due to her prior history. We did not want any money, especially checks/debit card numbers to be exchanged with her. She was not to be trusted. I sent her an email and asked that she stop asking for money from our father and that she would need to work it out with her bank and AT&T. It was not our father's responsibility. She still continued to make monthly payments and again asked our father to reimburse her. We finally were able to close his AT&T account and closed it down in December of 2021. Prior to closing it down we let the girlfriend know and told her she would need to stop making payments to the account. We made our final payment in January 2022 and noticed she was still making payments on the account. I continued to report her to the fraud department. A few weeks later we received a gift card from AT&T to reimburse us for the overpayment of $85 on the account, which was the amount she had paid. Again, I called the fraud department with AT&T and again she made a payment for $85. It was exhausting and frustrating. We continued to receive reimbursements in the form of a gift card, and then she stopped doing it in April and May. She started again from June 2022 through August 2022 and then mysteriously stopped making the payments. Note-She had moved to Las Vegas in April and May, and then moved to Florida in September 2022. Payments stopped each time she moved. In between moves they started up again. I was curious if she still had the same phone number and when I looked her up in the White Pages her phone number was listed under a different name from a previous marriage. I returned all gift cards to AT&T as we did not want anything connected to a potential scam. We had spent close to 14 months dealing with our father's AT&T account, and several of those months were spent dealing with the account after it had closed. The girlfriend also had a connection with a dance instructor in Oklahoma City. The girlfriend was a former "professional" dancer and during COVID she had asked her dance instructor friend to work with our father. According to our father he was paying this "instructor" for weekly dance lessons during COVID. Our father has never enjoyed doing anything like that which had us concerned. During COVID the dance instructor would go to our father's house often and would sometimes load a car/truck with items from our dad's house. Neighbors had made the observation on numerous occasions and shared this information with our Aunt and Uncle. The instructor was also asked to do "odd jobs" around the house and asked to take care of a landscaping project in the back yard. While we were in Oklahoma he had called our father to discuss picking up a check from him for some of the work he was doing. When he arrived our father handed the dance instructor a check for $500 and while they were talking the instructor proceeded to make a mobile deposit off of his phone in front of me and my dad. I found it unprofessional and suspicious. After further research we had discovered our dad had paid this person in checks alone $5900. Our dad was surprised and confused, and told us that he couldn't believe that amount of money over the course of one year. Plus, he had paid him in cash as well, and realized the amount was much higher. Three months after our dad was living with us (October 2021) his girlfriend would call him and ask that he contact the dance instructor about a small yard statue of hers that he was going to fix. My father was confused, but offered to call the instructor. He would ask the instructor if he owed him any money to which the instructor replied, "Yes, you owe me $500". Even though he had not completed the landscaping project he was still asking our dad for money. Was the girlfriend trying to get our dad to give money to the dance instructor who would then give money to her? Was he her money mule? We also learned that a computer specialist and small business owner was tasked to setup and connect our dad's computer to WIFI and a personal printer. Our father had trusted him since he was referred by a friend. We later discovered that our dad gave this person a bag of watches, some of them valuable family heirlooms, to get fixed. Evidently the computer specialist also specialized in watch repair? Both my dad and I had tried to contact the individual with no success. I eventually received a phone call response from his assistant to which she responded, "call back in two weeks. He is out of the office." I called back two weeks later to inquire about the watches only to get this response, "He does have the watches, but your dad still owes him a lot of money." I asked how much money since I saw a zero balance on their online invoice. She did not have a response for me, and said she would call back or I can call back in the next week. I called back and they never returned my phonecalls. I sent messages via LinkedIn and Facebook messenger to ask about the watches. No response. I contacted the police department, but since we did not photos or documentation of the watches we could not file a report. I later discovered that our dad was making monthly payments to this person and made approximately $1300 in payments to him for computer setup. While looking through our dad's financial statements we noticed some suspicious banking activity in May of 2021. During that time his girlfriend was traveling a lot, and I was often told she was visiting family. We noticed a mobile deposit was made to our dad's from a check made out to him by his girlfriend (note-this was his own personal account). The girlfriend wrote in the memo section, "Loan". There were two signatures on the back of the check on each end of the check. This was all very suspicious because our dad does not know how to do a mobile deposit and always goes directly to the bank to make an in-person deposit. The signatures appear to be forged, his girlfriend had been traveling during that time, and wrote the check to him, and the deposit was made exactly four minutes after a message from a different bank was sent stating they suspected fraud from this specific person due to a request to make a "bill pay" to her. The deposit went through and the bill pay was made 24/48 hours later for $1038.75 which was the exact amount of money in our dad's account at the time the bill pay check was requested. Just to recap that check incident; A "loan" was mobile deposit for $996 (written as a "Loan") was made to a bank in Oklahoma 5 minutes after a bank in Ohio suspected fraud by that same person. Approximately one/two days later a payment was made in the amount $1038.75 to that same person they suspected fraudulent activity from. This left our dad with a zero balance in his account in Ohio. We believe the girlfriend was out of state, possibly in Colorado, at the time all of these transactions took place. Phone records show that she was calling both banks during that time frame. On July 5th, more than one year later we learned that she had made her phone number the main source of contact for his bank in Ohio. We had been in contact with them on numerous occasions but never saw any documentation of her contact information on file or in his online portal. When we learned of it the bank immediately filed a police report for fraud. We had the police at our house the very next day along with APS. They suggested we file a restraining order on her. The family justice center turned down our request since our father continued to text her on a regular basis and the court would not take the request as serious enough.
| Share all of it! The fraud, the abuse, the isolation and manipulation. Share everything I have stated in the first question. Also, share that we filed police reports in Oklahoma, Ohio and California. She continued to contact him via text/phone calls. Our dad sent her text messages all the time that were brief and vague about how he was doing and what was new with him. The truth was that he couldn't remember and did not have the cognitive ability to recall his day/week. She would send him photos of her with other male friends and share about how much they helped her with a move or took care of her. In May of 2022 she had sent a text to our father from Las Vegas. She had recently moved there and stated she was caring for a woman with Alzheimer's and how difficult it was to care for her. I was very worried for that person and contacted the police in Las Vegas to report my concerns, but they didn't want to hear about it unless I had the name of the potential victim. I then called Adult Protective Services and they had the same response. Two weeks later she sent our dad a text at around 2:30am stating that she had to move because her roommate learned she was allergic to her cats. She had lived in Las Vegas for about two months and very quickly left to temporarily live with her son and his family in S. Padre Islands, Texas. I was very worried about the safety and well-being of the person she said she was caring for. She seemed settled in Vegas one minute and then abruptly moved away the next minute. She continued to talk with my dad which made it difficult for him to move forward and to understand what she had done to him. He couldn't remember from day to day what she had done and would reach out to her like a drug addict seeking their next fix. We contacted Adult Protective Services immediately. We called the police department to report the real estate listing on Zillow along with the unusual bank activity and credit card usage. We had filed police reports in Oklahoma, Ohio and California. The police did in fact get proof of fraud on Zillow and presented it to the DA's office. The District Attorney chose not to take the case because no money was exchanged. We were even given a contact person at the FBI, but after talking with them they were not interested and never returned our phone calls after that. Our father was able to sell his house and is now able to have that money to live off of. He lives with me and my family and has his own bedroom/bathroom and an office where he can display his photos and memorabilia. Every single agency, doctors, bankers, APS, law enforcement, and the FBI have all agreed unanimously that our father was being abused and financially exploited. Unfortunately, there have been no consequences for the behavior of his girlfriend other than the fact that she can no longer abuse our father. We believe she is still doing the same scam/con with other elderly men, and will continue to do so. We have read about a recent case of elder abuse that is very similar to our story, but they are now facing actual criminal charges because they took a lot of money. It fear that the type of abuse our dad's girlfriend committed is all too common and overlooked if there isn't an excessive amount of money involved. We are grateful for our Aunt and Uncle and all of the friends and neighbors who stepped in to help our father. Had they not, I truly believe he would not be here with us today. Thankfully, we have finally been successful in removing her from any communication with our father. Unfortunately, much of that is because our father's memory has declined and he cannot remember her phone number anymore.
| If you suspect anything is off or wrong trust your instincts. Call Adult Protective Services immediately. It can be overwhelming and scary. Find friends and support groups to connect with. You are not alone! Be persistent. Also, make sure to get the proper medical care and evaluations for your loved one. Our father was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's and also has other physical ailments that need medical care and treatment. Make sure to rule out any type of dementia/alzheimer's. Get as many resources as possible in your local area including the neighborhood Senior center. It's important to have a support system for your loved one and yourself. Document everything about the fraud, and share your story like I am here. The more we get the information out there the more knowledge people will have. We believe this was similar to a Romance Scam. Our dad's girlfriend was introduced to him by a mutual friend. Our dad originally met the mutual friend through an online dating site/chat room. That mutual friend is connected to the dance instructor, the computer person and the girlfriend. APS believes it is some type of ring of people collectively helping one another with their own personal scams. As I get older I see the importance of having documents such as a living trust and power of attorney all in place before I have any type of cognitive decline.
| I hope the laws start to actually protect all of our elderly. What good is the law if there are no consequences for criminal actions. I am dismayed, disappointed and saddened that we spent a better part of 1.5 years talking with the very institutions designed to protect people like our father only to discover they don't want to get involved. Can we hold people accountable for their actions? It seems the victim is often left dealing with the behavior of the abuser. I am hoping someday there will be stronger protections under the law for these types of crimes.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I have purposely not added names to my information to protect my father and my family. I do not trust this person, or her family.

| January 22, 2024 | Robert | 19335 | snod307@hotmail.com | My precious beloved mom walked into Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, West Chester PA, very strong, in good health, with just a UTI, nothing at all anywhere near anything like life-threatening, before being killed by gross extreme severe neglect, malpractice, abuse, dying from things having nothing to do with anything she walked in there with, solely from things done to her by the surgeon/hospital.
| After Initially walkinginto the hospital for UTI, in otherwise very strong healthy condition, and also getting a vien graft in her inner left thigh when a non life threatening blockage was discovered there, my mom went home feeling well, doing good. After a week when the small incision on her left leg began to hurt the home nurse said it is infected and tried very adamantly to get the surgeon to address it immediately but Dr Hayes absolutely refused to see her even against my also calling and pleading with him to please see my mom, her incision is infected. He said she already has a previously scheduled appointment in one week, and refused to see her before that. My mom did not make it a week before collapsing on the ground from the infection traveling to her bloodstream and throughout her body having to be rushed back by ambulance. At that time the doctor performed a very sloppy botched operation to try to fix it and quickly discharged her against my strong objection to a rehab, who recognized as I had tried to tell the hospital, that she was not well and sent her by ambulance back to the hospital. Disgusted with the surgeon we had my mom transferred to Penn Medicine Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia where a surgeon was very upset to see the horrible improper work done to her by Dr Hayes and rushed her into surgery to try to correct it, although she was already very severely injured by the inexcusable egregious neglect and malpractice of Dr Hayes of Chester County Hospital. To add further complications to my mom struggle to survive the neglect and malpractice of Dr Hayes Chester County, they did not use a proper mattress, do any turning, using wedges, or any type of bedsore prevention at all in Hospital of University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, causing my mom to developed a massive hideous excruciatingly painful stage-4 bedsore, and when I reported this to Philadelphia Adult Protective Services the hospital lied to Inspectors that my mom was not in thier hospital, and even falsified records that her name would not show in the hospital registry to successfully stop investigators from seeeing her. A few days later my most beautiful, wonderful, precious, beloved mom, my world, my everything, and the very light of the lives of her family, extended family, and so many who she meant more than the world to, was dead, and despite a profesional nurses testimony, and a detailed outline from a hospital quality research center explaining the succession of preventable things done to her by the surgeon/hospital that killed my mom, Livanta, HHS, CMS, and every dept, official, and agency entrusted to hold accountable, protect people from unsafe hospitals, doctors, conditions, not only refused to take action, but what my unyielding efforts to have something done clearly exposed, was conversely to thier enlisted purpose, a deeply disturbing system of concerted denial, disguise, and cover-up, only promoting, encouraging, and ensuring even further escalation of vulnerable elderly dying in Pennsylvania hospitals at rates seven to ten times what they were just a few years ago, with no accountability.
| Our most precious vulnerable beloved elderly are being wrongfully killed at alarmingly hyper-escalating rates, and all of our government systems are doing nothing to stop it, and everything they can to deny, disguise, cover-up, and effective promote, encourage , and ensure it will never be fixed, and continue to escalate.
| Starting with justice for my mom, that the surgeon who killed her by what was the text book definition of negligent manslaughter homicide, 1) having had a duty of care, 2)having breached that duty of care, 3) that breach of duty of care causing very severe injury, 4) the extent of that injury being death, goes to jail for a very long time and never hurts of kills someone again. And total reform of our corrupt hospital oversight, regulation system that is killing our most precious beloved elderly at astronomically alarming rates.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | PLEASE CONTACT ME! There is much more I would like you to know about the extensive work I have done, and what I have discovered. I have been treated very badly by represenatives I have contacted, I have some very shocking things to share with you that are not in here, and I'm continuing ongoing relentless efforts to try to initiate change, at least to spread awareness. Thank you Sincerely. Robert Snodgrass 484-252-9596

| January 8, 2024 | Gail | 60077 | gailg@protonmail.com | My parents were turning 84 and had many health issues. My parents owned a small manufacturing company that they owned for 50 years with the property. My mom had COPD and cardiac issues, and she required oxygen 24/7. My dad had his health issues, but he had been an avid golfer most of his life until he began to develop cognitive issues. Dad had heart and cancer issues, and we started to see signs of forgetfulness. My parents did not live large and always put money away for their retirement. My mom would pay the home bills weekly and always gave to 5-8 charities weekly as well as she believed this was very important to her. They had paid all their liabilities on time and had an 800-credit score as their financial reward for their good fiscal lifestyle.
I would still pick up my dad every day and drive him to the office and back home. My mom was a housewife and maintained the house. My dad's cognitive issues started to get worse as things were leading into a severe case of dementia.
| An old friend of my late brother came back into our lives and within 9 months he used his trusted position as a good friend of the family and as a financial advisor to frighten them to make a financial choice to protect against the estate tax that could liquidate their estate if they both passed to pay the estate tax. (As we now come to understand, their estate wasn't large enough to have high estate tax ramification. This was the ploy to scare all of the seniors to purchase large life insurance policies.) He suggested they were "underinsured "and he proposed a large life insurance policy as a solution and told them that there would be no out of pocket expense. They were told this can be done using something called "Life Settlement" and that one of the 2 policies would be sold within 3-6 months on the secondary market. The sale would then pay for the 2nd policy in its entirety. Funding for all of this would be procured through a separate source. What we have come to know is that a few years before all this, the friend and advisor had committed 2 insurance felonies that he received a conviction for and only received a 3-month suspension of his insurance license and have is securities license revoked. The state never put this on the state's insurance portal to warn citizens of the state with the fact of these felonies, so as to make the choice to use the advisor for important financial decisions. Here the state is culpable for failure to protect seniors from financial fraud. As in the states own words after he paid a $10,000 fine, "he was not rehabilitated, but we will allow him to reinstate his insurance license. " The advisor cleared the path to write and get approved 2 -$2million life insurance policies. My parents had two $100,000+ policies that he advised them to stop paying and allow them to lapse. So when they passed there was no life insurance for their final expenses.
What my parents were not told is the key to the scheme. The unsuspected direction of this sinister plot was that this was a "STOLI", a financial vehicle strongly opposed by life insurance companies and illegal in our state, and yet with all their knowledge in this illegal concept, the insurance company would continue to underwrite and eventually approve the policies. This was pure negligence on behalf of the insurance company, and the insurance company's own lead attorney, after the fact, stated that all of this should have been looked at, reviewed and the underwriting stopped, so no policies should have been issued. Insurance companies are part of the first line of defense through their compliance with regards to protecting their clients when red flags rise up. They failed in this endeavor.
Also, part of this type of scheme included a large loan that was disguised as premium financing and was never explained to the elderly couples that this was how the life insurance was to be funded, and they were not advised that they were responsible for these loans. Unbeknownst to the elderly couples, once these policies are placed and the loans complete, hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions are paid out and distributed to the insurance agent, bankers, attorneys and other individuals involved. Transparency was removed from these transactions as paperwork was shuffled in front of the seniors with signatures requested with no explanation on blank pages and just told "trust me, I will fill the paperwork for you". All communication was between the bank, the advisor, the attorneys and the phony CPA "Only" on all matters of contracts, loans and other financial information.
| We are told that a bank is the first line of defense in protecting its elderly (All) clients from financial malfeasance. Unbeknownst to them a new startup bank with minimal assets received their financial/credit information from the phony CPA who was introduced to my parents by their advisor. The bank that was supposed to protect the seniors, to not be part of any fraud, but instead concealed all pertinent communication from them sharing with others and when the situation became delicate to financial abuse the bank committed identity theft, forgery and willful blindness instead. The insurance broker passed on all their financial information to a phony CPA, this new bank,45 miles away from my parents( they never used another bank in their 55 years of marriage till this event), an attorney who they never met, who was disciplined a few years earlier for using his personal IOLTA as his personal piggy bank and not paying premiums for life insurance policies where he was the trustee. This was reported to the ARDC (attorney registration and discipline commission) by a major law firm he worked with. He was suspended for under 6 months. My parents were not aware of his past history, but were told they needed to use him because of his expertise in these kinds of trusts. The attorney who drew up a Special Trust and Family Trust on my dad and my mom, who he had never met, spoken with or at any time communicated with them and yet was able to get the two trusts notarized without meeting with my parents. We have recently found out how my parents were defrauded by all the thieves. The documents were brought to a notary who worked with the phony CPA. Under a deposition, the notary admitted she never met either of my parents and many times she would notarize documents for coworkers without following guidelines set by the state for notaries. Her attorney and my attorney were sitting there with their mouths open as she admitted she never saw the documents for my parents that she signed off on and notarized.
2 attorneys, who were partners, one who had been suspended for financial malfeasance and the other was a catholic priest who was laicized for child molestation, a case that went all the way up to the Vatican (noted in state documents about priest who committed child sexual abuse as priests), is somehow still practicing law.
| White collar criminals, especially those who willfully abuse the elderly and other vulnerable human beings, should be fully prosecuted. White collar is the least prosecuted because who would believe a bank(owner,president and vice president) would willfully commit senior financial fraud. The CFPB found the fraud, reported it to the Federal Reserve who did nothing because the loans were secured by the home and business property. The fraudulent action of the 2 attorneys, the bank, the phony CPA and the advisor should all have been prosecuted and sent off to do time for their crimes against humanity. Instead, seniors who worked hard all their lives, saved for easy and financially successful retirement, were sacrificial lambs who struggled to put food on their table, pay their bills and afford their necessary medical needs died penniless and without the dignity they deserved. Talking about elder care is not sexy. It does not draw the same attention as talking about some other major issues impacting our country right now or the death of loved ones, the break-ups, whatever it might be. But it's important and it's essential. My parents were one of many thousands who are manipulated, defrauded and are exploited for about $8 Billion each year..This group of individuals alone defrauded my parents and at least 19 other seniors. I want to ensure that this doesn't happen to other families.
My mom's dying words were " I am the charity case, and this is not where I was supposed to die."
| Yes | Yes | Yes | What we have come to realize this year with all the failures of many banks sheds light on the sheer negligence of our banking institutions, the failure of the law to protect senior citizens at every level, and an abundance of fraudulent activity that this story begins to expose. There were forged signatures, inflated financial statements, negligence on behalf of the insurance company, banking fraud and numerous other failures within the financial system. I am constantly reminded that the law, both federal, local and state, failed my family in very catastrophic ways. No one should have their name ruined or die penniless because they were defrauded when all they did was work hard all their life so they could retire comfortably without government, family or any other intervention. Everyone deserves to live their life in a dignified fashion, especially in their retirement years.

| May 31, 2023 | Dawn | 24426 | | 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.

| April 12, 2026 | Jill States | 29617 | jillstates8@gmail.com | My older sister is DPOA over my 96-year-old mother, who has congestive heart failure. She has and still is using her power, and my mother's lack of knowledge, because my father always did everything. My father has been gone for 10 years, and my sister cut communication off with me 8 years ago. During this time her and her 47-year-old daughter moved into her home for about 9 months, not paying a cent for bills, and verbally abused her, calling her senile, then not talking to her at all, to hiding her cell phone so she couldn't call anyone. The police were called to the house many times. Then my mother commented on the police and even APS I called them to say that she would like me to come over from time to time, but my sister didnt want me there to see her at all. My sister made false statements to mothers doctor and the Greenville police about me trying to get me arrested on grand larceny charges. She told the police that I was mentally unstable, going to the extent of having her ex living in Fla call 911, saying I had threatened to murder her, calling me a psychopath and career criminal
| Since all the above has happened, I called APS several times; they either wouldn't go or went and said unfounded, with my mother raising concerns. Mother recently had to call an ambulance to come get her one night, she was very sick and was admitted to the hospitial. My sister does not share anything with me, and Mom has said she is scared she will die in the house alone. My sister has maliciously used a 15-page DPOA paper, which my mother does not understand, to get her name on the house, all accounts, and everything. She took out a $75000.00 line of credit on the house for luxury renovations, things that the house didnt need, but to increase the value while my mother pays the monthly payments. She has spent my mother's money on herself and her daughter. She got VA benefits for our mother, but my mother has no idea where they are or how much she has. At the current time, I am waiting for bilateral knee replacement due to mobility problems. Also, having a husband with CKD keeps me from doing what I would like but also scares my sister, who might tell the police untrue things to have me arrested
| I wish I had the money to hire an attorney, and my mother would not have gone through this. I have tried to get help everywhere I know of without success. My sister lives 30 miles away from our mother in a house she conveniently took my mother to the closing to put her name on the mortgage so she and her daughter would qualify. My sister's daughter does not care for my mother and forbids her from coming to that house. I was very close to my father and promised him I would make sure my mother was ok, and I feel I am letting him down. My sister has split the entire family apart, and she doesn't care. All she is waiting for is for mother to pass away so everything will transfer to her. She treats it like a business deal with no regard for human life, and this is her mother she lets live alone.
| I wish I could get in front of a judge and be representing by a lawyer, I have all the proof that I am stating to show. My sister knows I do not have the funds for a lawyer, so she sits back thinking she is above the law. She has taken what should be rightfully mine, but the big picture is the way mother has had to live. My father passed away in December 2014. I never left his side for 5 days. I stayed there talking to him as he was in a coma from a stroke on the 5th evening. He was not monitored but checked every hour. The nurse came in at 10:30 pm and told me my father was gone, and I was still talking. I really do not remember anything else. My sister was in Georgia and didnt return to Greenville for 2 weeks. I just wish there was help for low-income seniors/people to make these wrongs right. Legal Aid does not handle these kinds of cases, nor does any other place. So many people get by with abusing their power over an elderly person so much, I never knew until I went through this, and family at that. I would have never thought my sister would do this but money changed her into a very selfish person
| Yes | Yes | Yes | This is wrong, the way mother is done. I just wish there were resources to help. The way my sister has done has limited my time with my mother, and even she has gotten my mother to beleive somethings talking negatively about my mother and me sometimes will fuss at me for no reason. All I have tried to do is help because I love my mother.

| 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!

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 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.

| Yes | Yes | Yes | 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!

| February 2, 2024 | Samantha Demchak | 97383 | 503-851-4156 | 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.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Please help.
