T.S. Radio: The Kidnapping of Dorothy Wilson


Listen to internet radio with Marti Oakley on Blog Talk Radio

On Sunday, September 23, 2012 we were privileged to have Diane Wilson, daughter of Dorothy Wilson as a guest on TS Radio. The discussion centered around the kidnapping, imprisonment and isolation of Dorothy Wilson. While isolated and moved from one home to another, her home was mortgaged, her personal possessions sold or given away.

At one point, Bristal Assisted Living facility charged Dorothy’s estate $53,000 for one month’s stay.

Her home was used to receive a reverse mortgage for $275,000. This, along with $2300 a month in income all disappeared with no acounting by the guardian. Two years after Dorothys’ initial kidnapping, the guardian had burned through $350,000 of the estate.

On October 23, 2011 after two years of abuse, neglect and isolation, Dorothy Wilson died of loneliness and despair. This woman who had lived a good life and had planned her retirement, had an ample income and valuable assets, was left penniless by the guardian. At this point the guardian petitioned the court to allow her to resign as Dorothy’s guardian. Dorothy died just one week before she might have been reunited with her daughter, Diane.

Kidnap, imprison and isolate - the new rule of the courts!

Even after paying attention to stories like Dorothy Wilson's for four years, I never cease to be shocked, outraged. I mourn for the martyrs of guardian abuse, like Dorothy. Why have we failed so miserably to protect our elderly and vulnerable citizens? I have relatives named 'Giordano'; even the name association sickens me. What became of the judge who allowed this?

God help us all, for our ignorance in allowing such crimes to persist. I mourn for the life of Dorothy Wilson.

Dorothy Wilson's pleading face haunts me. How can anyone involved in her guardianship sleep after seeing this video?

The Truth Squad is a great forum for getting the word out.

I love the picture of young Dorothy Wilson and her husband. What a happy couple with a whole lifetime ahead of them.

How could either of them know what horror Dorothy was to endure in her final years?

My heart breaks for Dorothy Wilson's family. Bless you, Diane.

Thank you all for listening and following Mom's story. The video should have been a tribute to Mom's wonderful life with her husband of 60 years; however, it ended tragically and I want people to be aware of exactly what is being done to our elderly. Mary Giordano, of the law firm Franchina and Giordano, Garden City, NY has not been charged with the criminal acts perpetrated against my Mom, done with the approval and blessings of Judge Joel Asarch Nassau county Supreme Court in Mineola, NY. So in answer to your question, Anonymous, Judge Asarch still sits on the bench, handling Nassau County's law guardian cases.
