After her daughter was abused, Brenda Bryant spent a decade fighting on her behalf. Now, two years later, a court-appointed guardian is fighting to end all contact between the two, saying Bryant is a controlling parent who refuses to allow doctors and social workers to treat her daughter.
Bryant alleges a conspiracy between the state and the caregivers who now watch over her daughter, a 34-year-old mentally retarded woman.
Bryant: "It's been orchestrated."
The latest troubles began in May, when Bryant learned a probate judge had appointed a Greenville attorney to act as guardian ad litem - a volunteer appointed to work on behalf of children - for her daughter. Within a week, Bryant says her daughter refused to take her calls at the group home where she lives, and the guardian soon filed a petition seeking to remove Bryant as her daughter's legal and financial custodian.

Sunds like yet another case of perfect strangers who are anointed by the court as decisionmakers to do what is "best" for the "ward". How can the statements of someone who has been declared incompetent be considered as "evidence". Having lived through a somewhat similar case, , as far as I am concerned, coerced "testimony" ain't woth the paper it's printed on. They can get the daughter to say just about anything. You bet they are quaking in their boots!
Keep fighting the guardianship racket. You are right they are wrong.
Corruption and conspiracy for power and profit. The Ward is stripped of dignity and their rights.
The Ward is turned into a "non-person" a product that generates income and jobs for the probate court.
The family unit is being attacked here. And the ward suffers - again.
Brenda Bryant is a lion protecting her cub, nothing more.
How dare the court even get involved, yet muck things up so badly.
A guardian ad-litem works for the court -- not for the children or ward!
