I attended the ACFE conference last week and heard Mr. Plummer speak about the horrible outcome on what happened with his Father as a direct result of having been victimized by a Nigerian fraud scheme. Please e-mail me and let me know how I can make a difference. Thanks so much. I would like to join this group in hopes to help our Elder community.

I'd try to file many APS/CSS complaint reports against my siblings for financial, verbal and emotional abuses since my dad and mom died, but APS/CSS social workers grossly neglected to listen my ASP/CSS complaint rights, because I'm a deaf APS/CSS victim. I'd try to report my complaint rights to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors who still neglected to listen my complaint rights against Los Angeles County ASP/CSS social workers who still made fun of me as a deaf APS/CSS victim. This make me worse frustrations that it is very harder to find any Los Angeles County pro bon attorney who can help my consititution rights against Los Angeles County Board of Superviosrs for deaf discrimination violations. I still cry harder every day while my siblings still abused to control against my privacy life and decision rights after my dad and mom died without getting pro bona attorney helps. If you know of any one can help my constitution rights against Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Los Angeles County ASP/CSS departments for deaf discrimination cases. I'm a greater helpless and speechless deaf senior citizen victim of elder abuse treatments after my dad died and my mom was innocently died on March 5, 2011 without my full consents.

She is now in a state of advancing dementia due to the surgery and her condition requires full-time care. Because she is in a facility at this time, my father has been able to tell us of her abuse of him in the last several years. The caretakers who had been coming over the course of the last two years have either been afraid to speak or have corroborated what my father is saying. He has been afraid of her as he is in a weakened physical state due to late stage renal failure. His wife fired several caretakers who would not do the things she ordered them to do to my father, like put an overabudance of salt in his food to make him sick. We don't know what to do now, especially since the wife is in a state of advanced dementia and can't answer for what she was doing. My father never said a word to us, his kids. His wife would keep us out of the house, pretending to be sick and telling us not to come over. If anyone has any ideas, please help.

I lost my Aunt July 9th 2010. Now the real work begins. Making elder abuse awareness viable to the police...the banking institutions and family. No one seems to want to hear it, SO I'LL SAY IT LOUD AND CLEAR...ELDER FINANCIAL ABUSE IS A CRIME...BOTH FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY...my aunt was in this nightmare...while alive, dying, her children took every penny until the day before she passed. This crime was committed under Power Of Attorney. The son broke every moral rule, there is. The bank did nothing to stop him, even when my aunt asked them to do so. It is a cruel and dis-respectful action against a dying mother. The culprits, including the bank personnel who allowed this to happen. I have been an advocate for elderly financial abuse for 6 years.

In fact, most protect those you are unable to make safe decisions for themselves. If you live in an area with a Statutory Probate Court they are required to monitor guardianship for quality of care - guardians are required to file an annual report of the person and a financial annual report that is checked by the court auditor for proper spending of the client's money. It is true that there is exploitation - that is true for all areas and subjects - and laws should be tightened to ensure that vulnerable adults are protected. We have a dedicated prosecutor who specializes in financial abuse of the elderly. You seem to be sensationalizing this problem. Some family should NEVER be able to have contact with those they have abused - you use a lot of words to draw an emotional response but I doubt you know all the facts.

You can also contact Social Security and report financial abuse and they can stop the check from coming to the house and have it direct deposited. Let her bank know as well. In Texas, you can also contact the Probate Court directly and ask for an investigation. If your mom is not able to make safe decisions for herself, you should think about filing for guardianship. If it is uncomplicated it should cost about $500 - make sure you use a Probate Attorney! ... but Legal Aid also will file at no cost if you qualify. You do need a doctor to confirm a diagnosis but many many primary doctors will fill out the form to assist in making the person safe from harm. There are many geriatric specialists who also are very familiar with evaluating elders for incapacities. In Texas the letter is filed with the court and the doctor does not have to appear at the hearing. If the court has questions and the dr doesn't want to come to court they will be ordered to do so. Most elderly don't want to admit they are being taken advantage of - and in fact will deny it! This is definitely not new to attorneys or judges. You may want to contact the National Guardianship Assoc for information or the state chapter. I can't imagine that a qualified attorney would not talk to you about this over the phone.
