King County prosecutors have filed felony theft charges against a Renton woman accused of raiding her son's guardianship account for years.
In charging documents, prosecutors claim Rhonda Marie Miller, 37, stole more than $30,000 from a fund set up to pay for her son's care, using the money to send herself to New York City.
Writing the court, Renton Detective Norman Ryan claimed Miller made 11 unauthorized withdrawals from her son's account between November 2004 and January 2007. Most of the charges were listed as trip expenses.
"These claims are based mostly on reported trips made to New York for medical appointments for 'studies' which the victim was not even involved in any longer," Ryan told the court.
The couple caring for Miller's son reported the thefts to police after they came to light. At the same time, civil proceedings were underway in dependency court to see the money returned.

If she was a guardian, she may have been bonded.
Bonding should be required for guardians, even if the premium has to come from the estate.
Two sides to this story and we probably won't know the truth until the trial.
Actually she has plead the 5th in both the criminal and Civil actions! The article had inacurate information. GSS was bonded at the wards expence and they refuse to release the bonds. All action in the Civil matter has been postponed due to Ronda Millers criminal charges. The GAL on the case put the stolen amount at approximately $59,000. She lives in a 650k home and drives a Cadillac on her boufriends dime and is on Food Stamps.
She Plead Guilty. Get's no jail time and pays $8,000.
