Margaret’s daughter tried to seek assistance from the Lehigh County Agency on Aging. They ignored her pleas for help. Margaret’s son died in 2005. However, his friends remained in her home. Her daughter sought the help of an attorney and eventually a court appointed guardian was assigned to Margaret. Laurie Schnauffer, of the Guardian Support Agency Inc. felt it was in Margaret’s best interest for her abusers to remain with her. Margaret’s bruises, broken ribs, malnourishment, and fear were of no concern to Ms. Schnaufer. However, she made it a point on many occasions to brag to Margaret’s family how much money she made by being a guardian. She restricted visits from people who were concerned about her. She threatened Margaret’s daughter that she would never see her mother again if she continued to speak out about her abuse.In 2006 the court ruled that Margaret would be placed in an assisted living facility. When her daughter entered Margaret’s home she found it basically empty. The house itself was damaged in many ways. Letters were written to the Agency on Aging, Department of Aging, state officials, and many others. Of the 40 letters sent most were ignored. Those that did respond had no interest in helping Margaret. No one would put a stop to the financial and physical abuse of a helpless old woman.
The Guardianship system was not intended to be what it has become. It is a growing crime wave.
ReplyDeleteThe system evolved into organized crime, a racket that is nationwide, when the players found out they can have it all. They learned how they could wear costumes and portray themselves as God's gift to mankind while they continue to illegally drain all of the assets and property of their Wards.
They learned how easy it is to control and run and fool the system and the public, without leaving home or doing any work, while the wards suffer and die as a paupers, Wards of the State.
And, they have their eyes on us.
