95-Year-Old Fights Back

Delores Forste is the daughter who was accused of kidnapping her own mother. Emma France is the 95 year old woman that claimed a government official in Jasper County Missouri charged that she was kidnapped by her 67 year old daughter. An appeal made by Emma France to free her daughter Delores Forste was made on video.

Emma France was represented by a court-appointed counsel, otherwise known as an guardian ad litem, but no testimony was offered suggesting that Emma was capable of taking care of her own affairs. Instead the judge in what appeared to be a very short probate trial signed away her free will. France challenged the charges against her daughter. She said Forste is not guilty of financial exploitation or kidnapping. She said she wanted to go to California and to get out of Jasper County after she was hospitalized and made a ward of the public administrator. She said both actions were taken against her will. An Alleged Kidnapping

Rita Hunter, Jasper County public administrator, her attorney and an area physician are named in a lawsuit filed in Jasper County Circuit Court. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Emma France, stems from the actions that made France a ward of the public administrator.
Former Ward Files Suit

A class-action lawsuit was also filed asking that the Jasper County public administrator be removed as conservator of her 450 to 500 clients or be ordered to refund any fees she has charged them that the court deems excessive. The lawsuit was brought by the same attorney who won dismissal of criminal charges against France's daughter and her husband who had been charged with kidnapping the woman’s Carthage mother while she was a ward of the public administrator. Class Action Filed

Some former wards of Rita Hunter, former Jasper County’s public administrator, filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of taking money from their estates to pay attorneys for the county office. The lawsuit contends that there was no authority to take the fees because there was no written contract between the attorneys and the county office, a requirement of state law. The lawsuit names John Podleski, who served as attorney for the administrator’s office until Hunter’s term ended, and Gayle Crane, who held the post for the first two years after Hunter took office in 2004. Crane became a circuit judge. Attorney Fees Challenged

The state returned donated money amounting to more than $27,000 that had been taken out of Jasper County wards’ accounts by Rita Hunter, former public administrator. The office was working on the return of about $85,000 that was taken from wards’ accounts and sent to state health-care agencies in the last weeks of Hunter’s tenure. Hunter was also the subject of an investigation that was launched after it was learned that all the wards’ records had been taken from the public administrator’s files, and that computer files on the wards had been erased. Hunter later returned about 30 boxes of files, and additional materials were taken from her house as a result of a search warrant.
Some Money Returned - Investigation Continues





Rita Hunter was or is registered with the National Guardianship Association Inc., an organization that promotes a "standard of excellence in guardianship."

  1. Another money mill taking human rights from elders for money under the guise of protection. It must be stopped!

  2. Rita Hunter is registered with the National Guardianship Association, which I notice has been quiet on this case.

    The National Guardianship Association claims standards of practice, but they don't hold their guardians to those standards. They weasel out of it.

    They do, however, collect pretty pricey yearly dues -- hmmmm, perhaps the money is much more important to them.

  3. Wow! Am I dreaming? Or is this reality?

    "Rita Hunter, Jasper County public administrator, her attorney and an area physician are named in a lawsuit filed in Jasper County Circuit Court. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Emma France, stems from the actions that made France a ward of the public administrator."

    This is terrific news and more good news in pursuit of justice on a truth seeking mission:

    "A class-action lawsuit was also filed asking that the Jasper County public administrator be removed as conservator of her 450 to 500 clients or be ordered to refund any fees she has charged them that the court deems excessive."

    This is organized crime with court approval screaming out loud with suspicious activities, screaming for criminal investigation by the feds. I hope they get the whole bunch including the mob boss judges who know what's going on and approve the stinking mess. While the authorities are at it, we need to find out how much money was tranfered to others, the enblers, to keep this pay to play racket humming all at the ward's expense.

    And, it would be a great idea to get the IRS in on this investigation. I wonder how much money or what favors the MD's were paid for submitting the damning information needed to doom the future ward who is marked for destruction?

  5. When our government via the courts is able to break up families nationwide, separate individuals from their assets and redirect those assets to the courts loop of special friends under color of law - it is time to leave and that time folks has come.

    Emma France is ovbiously distressed I guess this is what the courts would call their bs excuse "in the best interest of the ward".

    This is N U T S! and we are
    N U T S if we do not gather together and demand that this form of socialism is terminated a.s.a.p.

  6. Kidnapping means taking a person to a place he/she does not want to go.

    Delores Forste didn't kidnap her Mother. I believe everyone, including Rita Hunter, knew that. But, they didn't care -- they saw a way to make money.

    Hats off to Emma France for fighing back!

  7. I hope every case Rita Hunter had her hands on will be reviewed thoroughly and properly --- including interviewing the wards and their families.

    All 450 to 500 cases!

  8. Go girl! Give 'em hell on earth, Emma France. You'll get 'em good because they, the probate gang figured they would escape and dance their way out of the truth coming out because most victims do not survive this racket.

    The probate gang are crooks and I hope their end is coming. Better yet, they should be declared wards and let us be their guardians. How about that?

    Any volunteers to become a ward?

    Please sign up here and now to show your fairth and support for the guardianship system.

    Volunteers?

  9. Thank Goodness there are some good Lawyers out there. Getting citizens free from Guardianship is a daunting legal task. Hopefully Hunter's former victims will be compensated by this class action lawsuit against Rita Hunter the Former Jasper County public Aministrator and Jasper County.

    Hunter should be prosecuted and put in prison for her crimes.

  10. The National Guardianship Association is a smokescreen, they are useless, they are all in bed together profiting from each other - it's all about the money.
