| May 11, 2026 | Andrew | 90068 | andls2000@yahoo.com | After surviving sepsis and spending weeks in the hospital, I spent two months in a care facility where I suffered neglect, malnutrition, bruises, bedsores: abuse that changed my life forever.
| Everything that happened to me re bedsore, bruises, malmutirtion and neglect is documented in my Elderly Diary, a digital diary I created on my laptop. It is now available on Amazon. I also created a website, to call attention to, raise awareness, of the epidemic of elder abuse.
| Elder abuse is a worldwide epidemic. The World Health Organization estimates that 320 million people will suffer from elder abuse by 2050.
| To fight elder abuse. To call attention to it, to raise awarenes. I have a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to do this. Check out my website at www.ElderlyDiary.com
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I am 80 years old. After more than 60 years as an independent active adult, my independence and mobility and quality of life has been substantially reduced. This is documented in the Elderly Diary. This has been/is extremely disturbing to me, adversely affecting my physical, emotional and psychological well-being.

| 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.

| March 31, 2026 | Jacqueline | 34292 | jackelin.sullivan@yahoo.com | My father, brother, and I were close. Our father was our hero, and we never imagined he would be taken advantage of. Not in a million years.
My father married Marie 6 months after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It appeared that their partnership was equal, but no one in my family or hers knew of his diagnosis. My father made his long-term directives 2 months after they married. He named me as his power of attorney, and health care advocate, and my brother was his alternate. Their finances were separate. They had separate bank accounts and retirement accounts. Nothing they owned was joint.
Marie’s pattern of control gradually intensified as my father’s decline progressed. It wasn’t difficult to influence my father. Alzheimer’s had gradually eroded his keen judgment and every clear boundary he had set for himself. I didn’t understand what coercion was, and I never heard of coercive control until I began studying my father, his disease, and his relationship with Marie. The signs were subtle.
“In coercive control, the abuser seeks to isolate the victim. The pattern of behavior or actions used by a perpetrator is used to frighten, threaten, oppress, and limit their victim. A perpetrator will work to isolate and intimidate their partner to the point where their partner’s isolation from others and dependence on them gives them an immense feeling of power and control.”
Marie monitored my father’s phone calls with me. She was always in the background on speaker, filling in the gaps when he forgot a word or his train of thought. And never left my father’s side when I visited.
One afternoon, while watching TV with them, a commercial about receiving a check came on. It seemed to jog my father’s memory. My father asked, “Marie, didn’t we just get a check?”
She hesitated. Then said, “No.”
Alzheimer’s gave Marie leverage. As my father became more impaired, Marie grew more emboldened. In a twisted form of gaslighting, Marie turned my father’s lucid moment into a memory that never happened. I didn’t know who to believe. One morning, she left with my father, took out the trash, and put a fresh bag in the basket. I went to throw away something when I saw a piece of paper on top. I picked it up. The note was made out to Marie by the postwoman, Linda. She wrote, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail.” Marie kept my father’s mail from me, on purpose.
I discovered after my father’s death that my father’s out-of-the-blue statement to Marie, “Didn’t we just get a check?” wasn’t a figment of his imagination. His moment of clarity was a window of truth. He had been receiving, signing, and cashing many Vanguard checks.
The note in the trash from the postwoman, addressed to Marie, “I will continue to hold Jack’s mail,” confirmed that Marie didn’t want me to see the IRA check expected to arrive at his home while I was staying with him during the month. There was no record of where the cash went.
Our attorney didn’t believe me when I expressed my suspicions of abuse while he was living alone with Marie. This leads me to believe that other family members aren’t always taken seriously when they express their suspicions against another family member. The fact is, coercion, intimidation, and threats against a person with Alzheimer’s are difficult to detect and harder to prove.
A person who intentionally instills fear to threaten and control another person’s actions and what they say is committing abuse. Emotional torment and isolation leave no trail when there are no witnesses or evidence. These crimes become invisible, and prosecuting the abuser is nearly impossible when the victim can’t remember or is too afraid to speak out. The first step in preventing abuse is to spot it. I discovered there are distinct types of abuse. One being isolation.
Marie physically separated my father from my brother and me. She enraged him and tried to make him break off his relationship with us. Then Marie tried to keep him in Florida at the end of his life. She manipulated a rift in his friendship with Murray and blamed it on my father. Marie stopped taking my father to the social events they both once frequented at the clubhouse in their Florida condo community. She monitored every call he made. I believe she did it because she feared the unpredictable lucid moments.
| There is no good reason and no benefit to keeping an Alzheimer’s
diagnosis a secret. Even the shortest duration of time can create an opportunity for abuse, coercion, and exploitation.
I learned important lessons.
I know I could have had a better chance at deterring abuse
1. If my father had disclosed the Alzheimer’s diagnosis to my brother and me within days.
2. If I had contacted a social worker to help my father begin the process of decision-making.
Having a social worker from the onset of diagnosis to mediate advocates, family, and loved ones can help the person with Alzheimer’s in four ways.
1. Evaluation. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis comes with many decisions to make. An experienced social worker can help advocates, family, and loved ones, look at and discuss all possible solutions, not just one.
2. Communication through mediation. The structure of mediation gives the person with Alzheimer’s, advocates, family members, and loved ones a supportive environment where all can speak and be heard. The power of persuasion is neutralized.
Decisions by the person with Alzheimer’s can be made without feeling cornered or pressured by one person’s beliefs and opinions on what they should do. These meetings support everyone.
3. Documentation through routine mediation protects the decisions of a person with Alzheimer’s through validation. Mediation keeps everyone up to date on the changing needs of the person. Ultimately, these meetings will strengthen, protect, and reinforce the person’s financial, medical, and personal decisions.
4. The byproduct of these group meetings is transparency. And transparency naturally creates a system of checks and balances, which reduces the risk of financial loss, questionable changes to medical, or long-term decisions, extortion, abuse, and neglect.
| Elder abuse is hard even for a physician or nurse to detect when a patient has Alzheimer's.
For example: I went down to my father’s house for the nurse's initial visit. Marie sat at the kitchen table when I explained to the nurse I wanted updates after their visits, which she agreed to. After the nurse went over each medication with Marie, she asked why the memantine prescription had a substantial number of pills left in the bottle. Marie had been told by the nurse that my father needed to take them twice daily, the required dosage prescribed on the bottle. Marie acknowledged she was aware of the dosage. She knew what the medication was for, yet she didn’t give it to him.
Memantine was the Alzheimer’s drug for memory enhancement. It was prescribed by his Alzheimer’s physician. I was at the appointment with Marie and my husband when he went over the dosage with her and us.
Marie took it upon herself to cut it in half. Memantine wasn’t a cure. It didn’t stop or reverse Alzheimer’s; it helped to improve memory and awareness.
Because the nurse corrected Marie, I thought she’d give him the accurate dosage. But I found out two months later that she had continued to cut his memory enhancement dosage in half.
My father’s cognitive impairment was severely impaired during the last five months of his life. Marie drove and took my father everywhere, including his primary care physician appointments. My father relied on Marie. He didn’t retain information, and he confused instructions. The primary care physician decided on my father’s healthcare based on Marie’s beliefs, opinions, and her narrative of me. When I looked at my father’s medical records, I discovered that the primary care physician had noted family tension. The daughter has power of attorney and is the health care proxy. She does not agree with the treatment course for the father and wife. But my father’s medical decisions were his. Marie and my father did not make joint medical care decisions. And the physician, without discussing it with me or the three of us together, made an opinion solely based on what Marie told her. The physician formed an opinion and a belief based on partial information.
• Marie deliberately and willfully cut my father’s dosage of memantine in half. My father relied solely on Marie, who was his caretaker, to give him his medications. The medication she cut in half prevented my father from having the full benefit of memantine. Studies have shown that this drug increases memory, awareness, and concentration.
This drug might have allowed him to recall a memory, what was happening at the moment, and to calm the agitation he felt after sundown. But Marie willfully deprived him of the full dosage, lowering his chances of it ever happening.
“Willful deprivation is a type of elder abuse. It means denying an older adult medication, medical care, shelter, food, a therapeutic device, or other physical assistance, and exposing that person to the risk of physical, mental, or emotional harm—except when the older, competent adult has expressed a desire to go without such care.” From the National Council on Aging, “Get the Facts on Elder Abuse.”
| Sharing our stories helps us to heal from these horrific tragedies. I used the pain and anger I felt as fuel to find answers for others in my book. My father was an ordinary man. As a Boston firefighter, he risked his life to save others, and now, after his death, he continues to help protect others through his story.
I know we can protect our parents, grandparents, and aging loved ones who are in decline when we learn how.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Thank you for this opportunity to share my story.

| March 26, 2026 | Tania | 75052 | indianeyes1227@yahoo.com | My father passed away in 2008. He was married at the time to Pat Levandoski his wife). My father's will was the only standing will. Pat apparently started getting ill in 2022 and worsened in 2023. My father's life long neighbors and friends became concerned with Pat. Apparently, one particular neighbor became very interested in Pat. Stephanie Langeland. She apparently talked 3 other neighbors into "doing what's best for Pat" and they all needed to agree to get Pat help and Stephanie would handle everything. So, Jim and Lori (my father's lifelong friends and neighbors) thought they were doing the right by helping Pat. Stephanie had her Attorney Adam Sheridan draw up a trust, POA and much more that handed EVERYTHING Over to Stephanie. My father's house, finances and property. They sat on Pat's porch to get the documents signed. Lori, had to keep repeating and explaining to Pat what she was signing. She was apparently clueless. Literally a month later after signing over everything Pat was committed to a home. She was diagnosed immediately with late on set Alzheimers, dementia and schizophrenia. How could she be coherent to sign anything. Then Stephanie sold the house to her company name. I hired an atty paid $7000 for him to do not take this seriously and all he was stuck on was the fact an Atty was present when she signed the documents, and why would he jeopardize his career? Because he was a friend of Stephanie's and he thought no one would contest. Stephanie told the other neighbors if my brother or I ever tried to contact them to LET HER KNOW ASAP. She never once tried to find any heirs whether on Pat's side or my father's. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR. Stephanie saw a quick and easy money grab. I want my father's legacy back that he worked so hard for with his bare hands. I have been fighting this for a year now. Pat has just passed away on 02/23/26, and I feel my time is running out to try and save anything from my father.
| Don't give up, till the end. I'm not.
| People that claim to care DO NOT. There should be law a that make it mandatory to look for heirs in Michigan. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR.
| To get back my father's home and they honor my fathers will that he created.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I need help as I am running out of options.

| March 11, 2026 | Robert | 97814 | 2083698302 | My Mom Charlene has mostly lived alone, with a community around her. Most of us kids live in other states far away.
She ran her own Marriage & Family counseling practice in Normal Heights, San Diego, & was active in the community.
That all changed when she had a massive stroke and was forced to retire. initially, she recovered amazingly well and returned home.
When she was diagnosed with dementia, her Daughter moved in to take care of her. As a result of her stroke, Charlene was unable to manage her own emotions, so it was extremely easy to set her off, because her mind was still sharp and she could reason things out. Emotional abuse was her daughter's weapon of choice to get back at her after any arguement.
| Then Dementia set in, and Charlene's daughter began to emotionally abuse her and siphon off her money for her own ends. The rest of the family was not aware any o this was happening because Charlene would not mention it when they called. During a visit, I was able to watch Charlene do quite well on her own, displaying none of the erratic fits of rage her daughter kept telling us about. Afterwards, there were reports of Charlene being picked up by police because she was wandering the streets
Fast forward another year, and multiple abuse complaints had been filed with APS that Sheri was abusing Charlene, during this time Charlene's dementia got worse and with it, Charlene's daughter's abuse of her likewise got worse.
After Charlene went to the ER with a minor complaint, nobody could find her Daughter, who refused to answer her phone. I was called by my Aunt, who was called by the Hospital, and I flew out to find out what was going on. Her Daughter was ignoring Charlene completely during the day and complained that the stress was too much. The family had been told a lie, that Charlene's daughter had a financial power of attorney to take care of Charlene. Charlene's daughter had gotten Charlene to put her name on her bank account and had begun years of siphoning off her money for her own use. at one point, Charlene would be wandering the streets and her daughter simply did not care and did nothing to keep Charlene safe. a few more citizen complaints were filed against her for abusing Charlene, & when Police picked Charlene up off the streets, Her daughter pretended to be someone else and lied to the police officers, until the officers realized who she was and released Charlene into her custody.
None of Charlene's other family members were made aware of any of this because her daughter took their phone numbers off all her information so doctors. Police & social workers had no way to contact us. Then her daughter moved out of Charlene's home completely and abandoned Charlene with occasional home health care visits, which stopped after her daughter stopped using Charlene's money to pay them.
Charlene had long term care insurance, which paid for home health care, but at some point Home health care workers refused to enter Charlene's house due to unsanitary conditions. Charlene lived in cat feces & urine, which soaked her bed and all her furniture, drapes and walls. Charlene often wandered, penniless and destitute, because her daughter stopped providing her food, and removed Charlene's access from her own bank account. Numerous times, Charlene was picked up by neighbors from wandering in the streets hungry and confused. Her neighbors were feeding her, the local restaurant waitresses were feeding her, even the mailman confronted Charlene's daughter and her daughters only response was "I don't care." The daughter kept going into Charlene's house collecting rent from Charlene's renters and paying the bills, all while Charlene continued to live in filth. Eventually, things came to a head when Charlene was picked up yelling at cars while walking out in traffic. The EMT's refused to release her back into her house because she had no food, and the house was unlivable. Finally Charlene's assigned APS Social worker called me from Charlene's phone and let me know what was happening. My wife & I made arrangements for her home to be professionally cleaned.
| HHSA refused to prosecute, refused to take her daughter, the abuser off of Charlene's trust when Charlene's faculties eroded to the point where she could not make her own decisions. APS & the state fought every effort from Charlene's family to help her. we trie our best to get someone to file charges and get Charlene's affairs back into anyone's hands other than her abuser, but her abuser remains in control of Charlene and we have sacrificed everything in the fight to protect my mom, my home is in foreclosure and & we've run out of funds.
| Hope is in short supply. and we're going to be forced to return Mom back to California because her daughter has all legal control, so after we rescued Mom from the hell her daughter put her in, fairly soon Charlene is going to have to go back where nobody cares, and she will quickly die in that situation.
We don't know where to turn!
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Willing to witness to others, the dangers of dealing with abusers, the signs, your options etc...

| March 1, 2026 | Linda | 55125 | 651-398-1454 | Hello, my name is Linda Hood.
I was a victim. Yes! Too, many Minnesotans are reporting abuse in healthcare facilities. I generated Minnesota legislative Bill HF3077, allowing video cameras in healthcare facilities, to prevent abuse of vulnerable patients.
This bill addresses privacy issues by allowing cameras to be used only at the patient or family request. Today, we are asking for your support to move this Bill to the floor this session for a vote.
Thank you for your time.
| During March 8–14, 2026, I will be on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., I plan to meet with legislators and their staff to advocate for national legislation that would allow cameras in all healthcare facilities and patients’ rooms with consent only at the patients' or family request. A similar bill, HF3077, is currently circulating in Minnesota. This issue deserves national attention to help protect vulnerable patients, promote transparency, and give families peace of mind. Being physically present in D.C. provides a rare and meaningful opportunity to initiate these conversations at the federal level.

| 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.

"African American Families Have Been Fighting For Equality In The State Of NC since the early 1800's". Discrimination is abuse. This injustice as explained below against my son is also discrimination against me as one who is associated with him.

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

The very organizations that claim to uphold civil and human rights of the disabled are the very ones who are violating their rights. A crucial point:
The term "best interest" can be misused to justify restrictive decisions. In our case, it seems the guardian's actions are prioritizing control over the individual's well-being and relationships.
Let's add this to the summary:
The guardian's interpretation of 'best interest' has led to isolation and abuse, highlighting the need for stronger safeguards and oversight in guardianship arrangements, for vulnerable individuals with mental disabilities."

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.

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE":
"African American Families Have Been Fighting For Equality In The State Of NC since the early 1800's". Discrimination is abuse. This injustice as explained below against my son is also discrimination against me as one who is associated with him.

Wrongful Guardianship, Appointment under The ARC of NC DISCRIMINATES by keeping an African American male, Julian Coatley at Risk of Abuse and Exploitation
[Raleigh, NC] - Julian Glenn Coatley, an African adult American male, a vulnerable individual, is isolated from his mother, by being held against his will by a wrongfully court-appointed guardian, with his current whereabouts now unknown.
The guardian has cited the need for him to get "used" to the relocation to a new facility under a proven negligent provider as reason for withholding his location,(pretextual)despite concerns of abuse and exploitation as confirmed by the NC "DHHS", however, evidence suggests the true reason for withholding his location is Julian's history of substantiated abuse and exploitation reports against the very facilities he's been placed in under the guardianship.
'This is a clear case of retaliation and exploitation,' said Denise, a concerned mother and advocate. 'The guardian's actions are putting Julian's safety and well-being at risk, and it's imperative that he is located and protected immediately.'
The motion filed in NC seeks to expeditiously remove the guardianship and address the alleged abuse and exploitation, however getting the hearing lags
Denise is working tirelessly to bring Julian home and raise awareness about the need for guardianship reform to eliminate guardianship abuse. Won't you please help us fight for equality for this African American family in North Carolina, a state with a history of equality against African American families. Please open this link

| The Unseen: Uncovering the Truth About Guardianship Abuse the elderly. The fabricated words, the misuse of the term, ". Best interest"
The very organizations that claim to uphold civil and human rights of the disabled are the very ones who are violating their rights. A crucial point:
The term "best interest" can be misused to justify restrictive decisions. In our case, it seems the guardian's actions are prioritizing control over the individual's well-being and relationships.
Let's add this to the summary:
The guardian's interpretation of 'best interest' has led to isolation and abuse, highlighting the need for stronger safeguards and oversight in guardianship arrangements, for vulnerable individuals with mental disabilities."

| 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

| October 7, 2025 | Darci | 97814 | Accounting@DukerBookkeeping.com | Charlene was being taken care of my her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter would not allow anyone to get involved because she would have lost control of the money. We have shown money missing from her accounts, we have shown pictures of how she was left to live (cat shit every where she sat and laid), lack of food, wondering the streets, multiple complains about elderly abuse, the State of California investigated, found evidence there was abuse but declined to prosecute the person who committed the acts against Charlene. We have emailed every office we can think of in the State of California and you would not believe the responses, every single one stated they could not get involved. I get it, they are elected now, who cares. We have even been unable to file a police report. We are being blocked by the State of California at every move and the only option we have now is to go public with her story and pray someone will help Charlene out, buy applying pressure to the State of California into prosecuting someone who committed a crime in their state against one of its citizens. We have pictures showing this, we have bank statements, we have witnesses. The criminal is getting away............
| I guess the most important part of this is what I am seeing on the back end. I cannot believe this is going on as frequently as it is. The State received multiple complaints (I believe it was over 5), I do believe the social worker that was assigned to the case did a good job in looking into the allegations, she found evidence there was abuse. If a social worker for the State finds this, how is it the State can decide not to prosecute? This is wrong. Who is protecting the elderly? There is over $240,000 dollars moved from her account into accounts she has no authority on or access to, highly illegal but it is okay with California. People need to get involved, I have on my end and in my community now that I have been brought into this.
| Watch for anything that is out of the normal. When you have a funny feeling about things, follow those feelings. Do not sit back and think it will be okay, trust me, it is not okay. I am fighting an uphill battle and to be honest, I do not even think the State of California gives a hoot about its citizens, so if the State does not, and you do not, who is going to? NO ONE!!!! Again, if you feel anything is off, don't accept it, investigate it, confirm it, even doing this will stop a majority of the cases I am hearing about right now. They are going to realize you are paying attention to the surroundings.
| I guess this is where my faith and hope comes in, no one should have to go through this, as everyone feels. I would hope the states take a more serious stance on the consequences to elderly abuse and elderly financial abuse. It should be made much easier to bring awareness to the situations.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | We want to thank you for your platform, we are finding it hard to find any official in the State of California to care, all of them have responded with we cannot get involved. If you can believe this, the person in question is still in charge of all the money, the State of California says it is okay.

| October 1, 2025 | Mona | 18017 | mkouryelias@gmail.com | Both of my brothers, up until the passing of my father on 4/25/24, had been estranged from my parents and me several times, including the longest and latest estrangement between 2020 - 2023. During that time, there had been volatile incidents, for example one in public and another in my parents’ home, during which my mother stayed in her room when both sons came to the house.
Only as my father was dying did they reinsert themselves into my mother’s life. I had both my parents tested at a Memory Center with a Geriatric Specialist, as well as Home Care medical reports of my mother’s cognitive decline. In fact my brother, Victor, was pressing for an aide, stating that she had “plenty of dementia” in several of his text messages that can easily be produced.
Shortly after my father’s death, my brothers made many false allegations against me in order to mislead, control, and isolate my mother. When I returned back to work and when key friends and family were no longer at her home to support her, they began to increase the frequency and intensity of their visitations. Within days after that, they then took her to a new attorney, not her longtime attorney, and in one day, the attorney prepared and had her execute a new document that named my brothers as new POAs. These false allegations have been corroborated as incorrect by the few corroborating witnesses who testified and other actual evidence. The false allegations continue to this day.
She still believes the false allegations, My brothers need to control who she sees; they cannot permit her to connect with her long-time relationships. They know that she may have periods of lucidity and remember something and that will burst that bubble.
| County Courthouse Corruption:
Rule 2.11 for Judges; Rule 1.7 - 1.8 for Attorneys
Failing to Enter an Appearance
Misleading role in proceedings
Possible incident of coercion
Several judges and attorneys in this county belong to a musical group touting their legal profession as the name of their band.
Although this may appear to be a positive endeavor at accord between rivals in the courtroom, one should expect that an attorney and a judge belonging to this band would either disclose or recuse themselves if they found themselves in the same case.
One should also presume that an attorney belonging to this band would not purposely enter a case with a judge from the same band, again without disclosure (or recusal by the judge).
Such a situation of conflict of interest carries the possibilities of unethical behavior/procedural errors, biased rulings, and miscarriages of justice. This potentially can create a web of partisanship that essentially eliminates any appearance of impartiality.
Filing a Complaint with Disciplinary Boards (for Judicial and for Attorneys): no other plan of action for Conflict of Interest.
Two different Disciplinary Boards; two different responses to the same conflict of interest complaint filed.
| The pledges by the Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Department on Aging to protect senior citizens will fail. There is no plan of action for Emotional Elder Abuse.
Undue Influence and Financial Exploitation are crimes that are insidious and on the rise in the elderly population.
There are some forensic psychiatrists who consult on contested Wills to a person’s testamentary capacity and undue influence (Example Dr. Bennett Blum). The death of the elderly person seems to be the only way to prove predatory manipulation rather than investigating an ongoing situation, despite witnesses, an expert report by a geriatric physician, and evidence of the predators’ history and intentions, rather than helping the victim while they are alive.
“Mental Capacity” and “Undue Influence” are separate issues; both address the issue of vulnerability (Blum).
How do you stop the cycle? The Control by Design? Financial Exploitation?
Ineptness of the Department on Aging:
The Area Agency on Aging can write a report after an incident report, but it is unclear if they have the training and the means to investigate emotional elder abuse and financial exploitation.
For example, a discrepancy between what the investigator reports the victim’s doctor stating and what the same doctor wrote about the victim’s condition in the victim’s file.
Or, a report from a call on undue influence that doesn’t mention any investigation of the allegation, or interviewing the witnesses given.
| Filing for a new guardianship in order to see my mother, it has been since 6/7/24. When her neighbor tells me that she brings up my name and doesn't know why we are not speaking, it breaks my heart. aShe deserves to have dignity and the people she loves around her.
Educating others and helping others through similar circumstances, and hopefully engaging law enforcement in strategies that will help in an investigation.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | It is quite daunting to have called so many law offices and to hear the following: 1. Judges never get in trouble; 2. You will have to get used to it and just wait until she passes; 3. This happens all the time; 4. Your mother has to be declared incapacitated for an investigation to happen.
The information is there, but the solution is not.

| September 9, 2025 | Stacy heckrote | Joseph cited and Tracey petticuck | (484)944-8389 sheckrote@icloud.com | I originally came to care for the person when I was trying to make money cleaning peoples homes. I saw that this person was being exploited financially from many different avenues, but I did not know at that time to the extent of the situation so I began assisting him and he liked the work that I was doing And asked me to stay on as his caregiver and it made people angry because they couldn't take advantage of him anymore
| I knew nothing about being a caregiver and what was required of me both legally and ethically, but I had to learn all aspects of caregiving on my own because every avenue that I attempted to reach out for help was like hitting up And not only that but fraudulent activity was still continuing to occur and not only was it continuing to occur, but then the situation was made to look like I was a perpetrator when in essence all I was trying to do was to cease the reoccurrence of fraudulent activities
| Mr. Roberts does have mild cognitive impairment and the onset of dementia/Alzheimer's. It's very imperative for seniors to have implications in place for these types of diagnosis, not only to protect them, but should protect the one's caregiving for them by myself have been victimized by Fraud and I know what it's like to have every door shut in my face And how disheartening that is I wouldn't want this to occur to anyone so I've taken on this responsibility and when I can't find any assistance to alleviate the situation, and then it continues to occur and then is made to look as though I am the perpetrator it completely and utterly ties my hands And due to this since the banking institution has an obligation to report suspected fraud to protective services and then they do an investigation and deem that the senior does need assistance with financial activity has a hearing without the senior being present appoints a court appointed attorney. They tell him that they are going to continue the hearing And then a point a guardian and the case goes from alleged incapacitation to incapacity without him being present at a hearing which violates his due process rights tricks him into believing the first time that he meets the guardian that he is going to the hospital to get checked to make sure that nothing is wrong prior to the guardian taking over guardianship of the senior Lied to and told that he is being kept at the hospital due to blood pressure issues when really they were keeping him at the hospital until they could find a bed in a facility for him and then placing him into a facility when he didn't need to be in a facility And was deemed by home healthcare nurses and staff occupational therapy, physical therapy, social services at the nursing in-home nursing agency and the visiting nurse that he is capable of bathing, exercising making meals, using assisted devices to have mobility just needs assistance and is placed into a residential facility against his will And then the guardian context me and while I'm on a three-way call with the senior and states that it's in everybody's interest for me to vacate the home that I've lived in for the past two years and have tended and cared for the senior and the first thing that said was the seniors response that no he doesn't want me to leave and no, I don't have to leave and the guardian Tells him he has no authority in this matter and that the guardian wants to handle this outside of court is also in my opinion, a violation of his rights according to the guardianship handbook for the state of Pennsylvania that states that the guardian is supposed to communicate any decisions with the said individual and have their best interest at heart and protective services has clearly stated That I've done nothing wrong and I have concluded their investigation then why do I have to leave when it's not in the wishes of the senior and the senior is pretty much being held against his will because of this guardian and his court appointed attorney just makes the statement that he is the guardian what can be done
| My hopes for the future is that the situation is resolved, and the senior who was removed from his home gets to return to his home that is bought and paid for, and not everything that he owns is taken and sold for the profits to keep him somewhere that he doesn't belong nor need as well as for paying for a guardian to exploit the situation because no senior should have to pass in a nursing home. They should be able to be comfortable in their own home that they've worked all their lives for.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Every time I tried to reach out to get implications in place for the senior Mr. Roberts, I couldn't find any assistance. I tried to get him the waiver for me to get paid as his caregiver aging an adult services approved it. His doctor approved it and Health and Human Services stated that he made a $625 over the income guidelines and then never explained the spend down program Because of my past criminal history when I was a drug addict disqualifies me as his acting guardian his health issues disqualify him from life insurance and it just seems like every avenue I've explored has led to a dead end and I truly care for this person as I would want anybody to do for my parents if I was unable to and I've reached out to his children All of which are adults and nobody wants to be bothered and I won't want anybody doing that to my parents

| 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)

| June 19, 2025 | Carmela Hoefler | 08690 | 9178169300 | Husband had diabetes, where he developed ulcers in two toes. Went to see a doctor in Philadelphia who said needed them amputated. Was in the Hospital when was trying to get Medicaid for him for his Medicare had run out of days so he needed Medicaid. Husband was isolated and I was restricted from seeing him.
Hospital decided to petion for guardianship..
| Husband of 45 years was put in a dirt facility by a professional guardian appointed by a court in Philadelphia Pennsylvania where he developed Gangrene in both his feet and had to have them both amputated. Then after the operation a few days later the Professional Guardian, a Stranger that we both didn't know put him right back in the same dirty nursing home in Philadelphia, just to get him out of the Hospital quickly.
| It is all about the MONEY and not in the persons best interest. There are too many horror stories for the system to stay as it is now. People should have the right to remain free from Professional Guardian. No stranger should have a right to take over another human beings liberties.
| To transfer husband to a decent Rehabilitation to have the help he needs. The Guardian doesn't have his best interest in her decision making for him. Need to terminate this Guardianship ASAP. Neither he or I wanted this. He was thrown into the system without His knowledge by a Hospital and put into a facility where a short time later developed gangrene in both his feet and had to have them amputated.
| | Yes | Yes | Need to terminate the guardianship ASAP.

| May 6, 2025 | Donna | 28401 | dgunter3158@gmail.com | My 87 year old uncle was scammed. He lives alone and does have some health issues. I am his closest living relative and his POA.
| My uncle was scammed. He really was caught up in the scam and lost a lot of money. My issue is with the financial institution that allowed him to withdraw large amounts of money out of our joint account. I was added to his bank accounts to be able to pay his bills, etc once he was unable to do so. The financial institution kept allowing him to withdraw cash knowing he was being scammed. They never once attempted to contact me to alert me of their suspicion of fraud/scam. It was only after he came in for the 4th time to clean out his account did they call me. I feel the bank failed to protect my uncle. This bank knows my uncle as it is his branch.
| Be diligent and be aware. Scammers are so controlling. It's easy for anyone especially the elderly to get caught up. Financial Institutions need to be held accountable for not protecting their customers when they suspect fraud/scam.
| That financial institutions are made to alert joint account holders when large amounts of money are being requested. I can't stop my uncle from getting his money. But as a joint account holder, I could've help save him from almost total loss.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | I would love to share our story. The financial institution is steadfast that they followed their policy. My issue is that is policy more important than helping your fellow human. If they would've reached out to me, I could have saved my uncle. There is much more to this story. This is only a short description.

| February 25, 2025 | Brittany Grate Gaines | 90061 | Bgrate88@gmail.com | I am reaching out to bring awareness to the heartbreaking story of my grandmother Margaret Jennings, a beloved mother who was betrayed by three of her own children over money and property. Despite winning her legal battle in Jennings v. Jennings, No.
B327268 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 28, 2023), justice remains incomplete. Her children were found guilty of fraud and financial elder abuse, yet they refused to pay what they owed, instead choosing to wait for her to pass.
Margaret spent the last years of her life grieving the loss of her children-not through death, but through their own abandonment. They never sought forgiveness, never attempted to make things right. And now, after ignoring her for over five years, they want control over her funeral arrangements which is being held March 4th, 2025.
Even in death, her fight for justice continues. Margaret's attorneys have been unable to locate one of the defendants to serve her, delaying the accountability she deserved. Elder abuse is a silent epidemic, and Margaret's story is proof of how the legal system often fails to fully protect victims.
This is not just about Margaret-it is about every vulnerable elder who is financially exploited by those they trust most. We need to shed light on her story to prevent this from happening to others. I would love to discuss this further and provide any necessary documentation, including court records and personal testimonies.
Please help us bring justice to Margaret Jennings and raise awareness about elder financial abuse. Let's make sure her story is heard.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

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.

| December 13, 2024 | Natalie | 34238 | Sweet792.pea@gmail.com | I am being emotionally, financially and psychologically abused by my adopted daughter and her boyfriend and someone else who they are working with. She said that she wants to create a a story that I am crazy and put me away. When I was sick for a while I told her how awful I felt. Her answer was - "I want to see the will. I want to see how much I'm getting." She googled a site that tells you how to get your name on a deed. I have been pickpocketed, tracked and followed, my devices have been hacked and all of my jewelry, financial papers and a suitcase full of clothes have been stolen. They have violated and victimized me in all ways. They also jammed my security cameras and are able to get through all locks. The authorities haven't helped me. I need these criminals to be investigated. I have loved, protected given my all to my daughter. I saved her life. This is not how I thought my life and hers would be .
| I have two master's degrees. I am still teaching and directing productions. To have anyone say demeaning things about me is very destructive. I feel that I am in a cruel game. I'm not free to live my life. She is drinking now and her once beautiful faced is puffed and distorted. Her boyfriend is cruel and controlling.
In addition, they abused and killed my beautiful cat.
Everything they do are traits of sociopaths and I am the target.
| I have called attorneys, security personnel, the elder hotline and others for gel and have gotten nowhere. I am all alone in this. I need some help.
| My hope is for people in power to listen and understand the pure grief that I'm experiencing every day. I have a log of everything these criminals have perpetrated.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | My story needs light. I need to get it out there. I need the broken system to work. Agencies that are supposed to help do not come through.

| November 22, 2024 | Juana Hawk | 77489 | Juanahawk@yahoo.com | I am an elderly woman recovering from a total knee replacement who lives alone. I am a victim of harrassment, bullying and wrongful arrest by my next-door neighbors. This has gone on for the past eight years. I have reached out to my public officials, HOA, senators, city councilwoman, legal aid agencies in my area and nothing changes. I have been shot in my driveway, almost ran over by a car and subjected to other terrorists acts by the neighbor's. I reported these acts which are on video to the police department and they never arrest the neighbors.
| I need to tell my story in a public forum.
| That the police refused to prosecute my neighbors.
| Relief to grow old in my home.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Please call me

| 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 | |
| November 5, 2024 | Carolyn | 98229 | carolyn.burkhart@yahoo.com | I was courted online over a period of 3 years and then the person came to my home. I have been financially exploited, harassed, stalked and emotionally traumatized by it all. I am a senior on the autism spectrum, with epilepsy, who is a lesbian. Towards the end I feared for my own life.
| I was living at home and a woman I had been communicating with over 3 years was having difficulties and I offered for her to stay at my home for a couple months, when I planned to travel. The day after she arrived she asked me to legally adopt her. She is a middle aged woman and I said “No”. She then persuaded me to have her be property manager for renters at my home and in my Assessory dwelling Unit. She was very loud and persuasive. She requested to use my computer for a security system and soon had gone onto my amazon account. I got notification next of someone trying to use of my Lowe’s credit card. She cashed in items I had bought for over $350 at Target. She asked for borrowing money. First it was small sums then larger. It came out to over $15,000. When I got home and saw my bank statements I saw that it went to Redwood Sustainability, not to Ro Pereira, who had requested it via PayPal. Then she wrote that I had gifted her the money, as a tax write off. WRONG. Redwood Sustainability I did not authorize. Then she wrote an invoice for over $10,000 for one month of ‘work’ when she had been sick most of the time and staying in my personal studio. I no longer had free access to my own belongings. She talked me into giving notice to my housemate tenants. They were afraid of her and left in a few days. She was domineering and doing set ups to get me to believe my tenants were doing bad things to my home and writing harsh emails to them. I got scared and felt trapped. Then I fired her and told her she must leave by the end of the month. She said she would stay until September 1, per the contract, that I couldn’t make her leave. After my request for her to leave she sent me email sex messages and had someone stalk me and through stones at me in the park. I can’t prove it, but I know she did because she talked about it. She brought it up. I began to fear for my personal safety. I tried to get help from the police. They were no help. They told me I needed to give her notice to vote, which could take months. I finally realized I needed to get a protection order. There is no one here in bellingham washington to help with a protection order for domestic violence unless one has had sex with the perpetrator. I needed to spend thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to proceed in court for a one year protection order. The police had not served the protection order correctly and later told me that being a ‘vulnerable adult’ put it at low priority. The officer called the respondent and notified her and then came to my home 6-8 hours later. Of course she was gone by then and had not been served the protection order. There are NO resources for elder or vulnerable adult financial exploitation or abuse in Bellingham, WA. Adult Protective Services, did nothing to help me with a protection order. Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Center, would not help me, since I did not have sex with this woman who lived in my home. There are NO public resources in this city to protect seniors or disabled from domestic violence from a person living in their home, whom they do not have a sexual relationship with, even if that person was ‘courting’ them.
| That there may be state laws to protect, but in reality there is a lack of priority, interest in or public funding to protect elders. Why does the Domestic Violence center exclude victims of domestic violence perpetrators, unless they had sexual intercourse with them?!
We are vulnerable due not only to aging and disabilities, but also because we may have retirement funds, to live on for the remainder of our lives, which is very tempting and easy access, with little or no repercussions for perpetrators breaking the law.
| I would like to see that every domestic violence center will provide services to victims of domestic violence, financial exploitation within the home, to include who do not have an intimate relationship with the perpetrator. I would like to have adult protective services help us. I would like to have senior centers have a volunteer who would show us what to do and how to get help. The senior center coud have someone who arranges with the domestic violence center. A volunteer could go with the senior to court. The police need to put domestic violence of a vulnerable adult as high priority. The senior center needs to have a place for the elders to go to be safe during the serving of the protection order and then arrange a plan with them to be safe at home. Someone needs to go through things with the senior and find out if there has been identity theft and help the senior report it online and to the police. There needs to be counseling and support services for the aftermath and ptsd recovery.
| Yes | Yes | Yes | The police need to investigate and prosecute elder abuse and financial exploitation. They need to recognize that it’s not just the money but its human lives. Research demonstrates that elder financial exploitation correlates with shortening one’s life by a significant number of years. FTC needs to bridge the gap between states. In my case this woman has been financially exploiting in California for years. Now up here on Washington. Who knows what other states? She claims to be poor, but on reality she changes names, uses supposedly real non-profits to claim tax deduction, and is on the move.
