I have a lot of complaints against Los Angeles County Adult Protection (APS) and Community Senior Citizen and Services (CSS) social workers still made fun of me as a deaf ASP/CSS victim since my dad died on November, 2009 and my mom was innocently died with wrong medinces on March 5, 2011 without my full consents.

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.

My grandmother is 90 and has severe drepression, she was living at our house for a few months when my aunt unexpectedly can to town to take care of her. My grandmother sam is now living back at her house with my aunt who refuses to take Sam to her psychologist, or any other doctors appointment, and won’t allow sam to take her depression medication. Sam exercised everyday when living with us and was able to walk over three blocks and back, but now she can barely walk to the driveway and back with out panting. Sam is so unbalanced that she fell and got a black eye, and broke a tooth just walking two steps. She doesn’t eat so she is losing weight, and she is beginning to have signs of dimmentia. She forgot my mothers name, her daughter. I want to step in but my grandmother is being controlled by my aunt and has asked my mother to stop visiting, my other aunts and uncles think that if sam wants to sit on a couch and rot then it’s her choice. I don’t know how to help when I’m not allowed to see my grandmother.

I have been battling a fiduciary who was pitched by adult protective services (APS) to be “the only way” for my father to save his assets from a con man who had lured him into giving him a durable power of attorney, who promptly went about trying to sell the $500,000 property while my father went into the hospital temporarily. APS didn’t tell my father that once assigned, the fiduciary could do anything she wanted to do, including selling his home without his consent. The fiduciary put him in a nursing home, threw me out of our home and confiscated my property to sell with the estate. The fiduciary then sold our half a million dollar property for a lousy $8,600. The fiduciary APS hired turned out to be worse than the criminal they were supposed to be protecting him from. There was nothing I could do to stop this from happening—I am disabled, and was thrown out literally into the street with nothing but the clothes on my back, and my cat and walker.

This whole nightmare was nothing but a lie. Adult protective services DO NOT help or protect anyone’s elderly family. They scam on them the same as any criminal would, they just have the protection of the law to help them get away with their scams. Never cooperate with APS, no matter what they say, never let them in or you’ll regret it.

I would like to share my story of my mom who is deceased now at the hands of a evil man and his mistress. We hired 3 attorneys, filed numerous complaints with the state and local DHS, state adult abuse hot line, police departments, Gene Taylor who is a congressman of MS, the state of MS attorney general, US attorney general, the Bush hot line, CNN headline news, Oprah show, Montel Williams show but to now avail. No one wanted to help therefore Mom passed away at the hands of this evil man and his mistress. This man obtained a fake POA and took over mom’s life. He took everything with this POA. Mom had a severe stroke in 2000 and this man, with the fake POA took her home, life insurance monies, my dads pension money, made a new will for mom, denied her proper health care, housed a mistress in my moms house, had sex with this mistress in the same bed mom laid in,over medicated and sedated mom which is in the medical records, feed her alcohol and much more. Due to the lack of proper health care for a stroke victim and with the admission of the mistress over-medicating her with morphine, mom passed away in 2004. The message I would like to put out to the public is that the SYSTEMS AND PROGRAMS OFFERED FROM THE STATE OF MS failed mom and her heirs to the highest degree. The state would not provide her with protective custody nor would they investigate. What should I do NOW?

My father worked and financed a business in the town where he lived, my brother worked along side my dad and benefited from my dad’s help. In January of 2007 my father had a stroke and in September of 2007 my brother had talked my dad into signing over his part of the business. My mother was still alive at that time so not only was my dad signing over what he had worked for all his life but also my mother’s livelihood should my dad die before she did. My brother’s told my dad that if he didn’t sign it over the other siblings would try to take it from him. Not only did my dad sign the business over to him, he also allowed my brother to take out an $40,000 loan on my dad’s house, although the brother owns several houses himself and is a contractor on the side. My mom and dad’s house was paid off and dad was always telling us the only bills he had was utility bills for their house. Now both my mom and dad are gone and my brother is sole owner of my dad’s business and still owes money on the loan he took out on my parents house. Greed is a hard master it never allows you to be satisfied with what you have, but to take advantage of old sick parents is a crime that should be punished.

My father is 80 years old and has Alzheimer’s. Last fall I discovered that over the last four years a friend of his has cleaned out his life savings to the tune of 1.8 million dollars. The lady told my father an amazing list of sob stories and lies about why she needed money and he wrote a check, over and over again.

We have managed to stop the bleeding and save a small a small amount if cash and his house but that is all. 90% of what he had is gone.

We have thousands of emails from this person but even with that as evidence the county prosecuting attorney says there is no crime here.

We have spent thousands on an attorney and private investigator. We have found that this is at least the third time she has done this. She is still married to victim number two who is 15 years older than her. Number one has 30 years older and my father is 20 years older.

The icing on cake is that she has already served 8 years of a 15 year sentence for murder. My father’s old revolver and ammunition is missing and the only person has access is this lady.

With all of that, law enforcement is just not interested. No crime they say.

I have been living in this trailor for a year now. Their is no heat and I am 62 years old there is no air condition. The owner says I have trees.This summer it got up to 100 in here. In the winter my space heaters cost me about 300.00 dollars to heat each month for eletric. I have ask her to put heat but nothing is done. I am trying to find a place to live that I can afford. I am on ss and rent is high. I pay my rent every month on time. I feel this is abuse. I have ask alot of people where to go to get help, they tell me to get a attorney, with what money? Why should I have to get an attorney? There should be someone some agency to go too for this kind of abuse.

My case is different to the above ones. My other is 87 years old and is at present residing at Regency Green nursing home in South Australia. She has been there since they opened about 2 years ago. She had previously been in another one which my sister had to take her out from because otherwise the people there would have killed not only her but the rest of the people from starvation, malnutricion etc. At regency Green we thought it was nice as it was brand new, the people seemed to be nice for a certain amount of time but right now my sister keeps complaining about many things they are and are not doing for my mum even to the head nurse and head office but no ones listens or wants to hear her complaints. Whilst my sister is there the people there treat my mum kindly but we think that when none of the family is around, they let her yell out for help or some other attendance ignoring her completely. My mum is in a wheel chair and cannot do anything for herself so she is completely dependant. My mum has been in hospital few days ago with high blood pressure and low pulse etc. and cannot understand how the doctors which go to the nursing home says no need to check her blood pressure. I am complaining about this abuse that since our parents,family or friends are old, they don’t deserve any attention and therefore be ignored and leave them to die as someone else will go in their place and still get the money. This is unpardonable and the government should look into these abuses. The people who go to work in these places should like what they are doing and treat people kindly as one day we will be in the same situation and we wouldn’t like to be kicked up the backside because we are old do we??? I don’t at least so please Government, or society, let’s do something for our elderly people and inspect the nursing homes and look thoroughly why there are so many people dying there within short time of being in the nursing homes as apart from not caring if they eat or not they must think that they are doing our family a favour and they are very wrong as we are paying their salaries. So if they proceed in this way because they are not geting enough money, 1) Look for another job or get the employer to raise their salaries and not too much of a margin in benefits. Thank you for reading and hope that this gets somewhere as do love our mother and want her with us for as long as we can. If others don’t care about their family, that’s their problem. Thank you.
