Facebook TwitterIn court, when I read the California laws regarding moms right to receive phone calls or a visit for one hour on holiday s or her birthday.
Mom says, why can’t I go to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner.?!
She cries, she is hit in the head by her caregiver and her husband, when she “doesn’t answer fast enough “, per moms report. She is very lucid and you can hear the fear in her voice when we speak, because the caregiver is holding the cell phone moms ear, listening.
The judge said,
“ oh, there are all kinds of laws on the books “
(?!?!) and ruled to keep mom there, when we requested to bring her home and assume all financial needs.
Judge said no
( we have pictures of her broken arm, bruises on her face, took her person pictures and robe away.)
The corruption in Santa Ana Superior Court, Conservatorship dept. is CORRUPT.
Read the 2019 , Sunday paper, September 23rd, front page article on this very court’s travesties , in the Orange County Daily Register,
A Guardian was placed over my Mom. The Guardian confirmed the POA felony abuse by my sister in 1/2019, The Guardian said she did not feel the need to press charges (Sherriff’s Report).
The Guardian then moved my Mom into the relative’s house and no other family members are allowed visitation.
My Mom is isolated from family and alienated from all other relatives. My Mom has not received counseling to understand she is a victim to the degree she can still understand.
The Guardian runs a home health company and her employees work with my Mom and other wards. It is a conflict of interest but allowed in Florida.
15 family members have not seen my Mom since the Guardanship took place. Before the Guardianship we saw her often and talked on the phone.
My Mom has missed graduations, births, weddings,holidays and more. It is devastating to our family.
It also painful to know our Mom was placed with the relative who financially hurt her.
We are denied any information on my Mom.
15 family members have not seen my Mom since December 2017, because we reported abuse that was found to be true.
While the bill will not help seniors in private family homes it will hopefully help seniors in nursing homes and hospitals.
At first I could not believe what my sister had done to my Mom. Now I am in anger the complicit actions of the Guardian.
Isolate, alienate and deny visitation………………
l believe my mother is being kept in unlawful organized detention and confinement and l can not find her in person.
Please provide help and suggestions.
Thanks,
Steve

First they arranged a home equity line of credit on my parent’s home they didn’t need. All but ONE credit card was paid in full in 7 months and the balance on December statement was only $1,560 they had the ability to pay off the loans with out the equity line of credit. One sister put her self in charge and wrote large checks to siblings on was $45,000 to buy a third property.
Another sister wanted the house by having her son’s girl friend to get my mom sign the house over to her. It didn’t work.
So that sister applied for guardenship in May 2014 they gave it to a paid court guardianship until Oct 2017. during June 2015 threw Aug 28 Myself and my brother’s families were court ordered NO CONTACT,
The sister that petition got guardianship Oct 2017 and after her husband beat our mom up in the guardian’s home she moved my mom to a senior apartment after a year of being told our mom can not be living in her home on her own. that was Jan 2018 richt away she says my mom’s must be sold no the brother that got a large amount from the home equity line of credit was told to pay it back by a court order or he can not visit his mom her refused and admitted to filling bankruptcy . became conservative even with the GAL and Consevator and myself a brother objecting he brought in more siblings to side with him. Ones that got money from the line of credit Now the guardian will get the house for a few thousand.
Non of the siblings visit my mom regularly and my sister the nurse who did not report her husband beat up my mom and she is a mandatory reporter. Cut off myself and brother again while my mother’s brother was in town staying with her in the apartment he aproved of the isolation of my mom and cutting us off again! April 2018.
The judge was told of the son in law attacking my mother a Veteran born 1930 he asked the GAL what is this hearing about?
permission to pay for the apartment. Then turns to my brother’s lawyer saying your client is trying to make this hearing about visitation and did nothing about the throwing my mom into the wall and letting her fall while yelling this is my house!
I do not believe guardianship is going to help. The courts tend to agree with the abusers!
If isolation is listed as elder abuse in your state go after them in a criminal case.
Probate is all about draining the estate, medicate and isolate the probate court is going to side with the isolator.
There are laws to keep veteran’s out of guardianship MI the name is uniform military guardenship act 321
ANY FUNDS FROM THE VA my mom has dividends and that and the fact she passed SIX test! But the Judge is mad my mom used the law and got tested before the court could get their paid Ph.D, to test her first
