Woman Charged With Elder Abuse, Surrenders

According to a report posted on presstelegram.com, a Long Beach woman wanted by police for stealing over $4 million from an elderly stroke victim has turned herself into authorities. 54-year-old Li Ching Liu entered a plea of not guilty to Long Beach Superior Court on charges of elder abuse and robbery.

The report states police had been looking for Liu for 2 years before she turned herself in. Liu reportedly abused and robbed the 74-year-old victim and withheld food from her in order to make her comply with what she wanted her to do.

The victim reportedly suffered a stroke that left her debilitated. Prior to that, the victim lived independently and built a large monetary fortune through several investments including commercial real estate. Liu had created over 60 bank accounts at various banks and laundered the $4 million from the elderly victim’s account with the help of her boyfriend and son. If she is convicted, Liu faces jail time and liquidation of her assets in order to reimburse the victim of the crime.

Great news!
It does infuriate me however, that the authorities will hunt down and prosecute an independent offender like this... while sitting on their hands with a "court appointed, professional guardian/thief" and his/her lawyer who commits the very same crime plus more.
"To Protect and Serve"
Where are they?
