A Master Guardian?
That's so sick!
No wonder those guys have to band together!
Gun in court? Was she LOOKING to get busted?
What kind of nut is she?
Master guardian all right?
Another bad reflection on the National Guardianship Association.
what the _ _ _ _ good is the national guardianship association?
The public needs to learn from this. If you find a master guardian on the National Guardianship Association site, beware!
Does the NGA even bother to do background checks, or do they just take the money?
In my experience these professional guardians are not stable people. There is a total lack of compassion for the ward, and certainly a vindictive spirit toward all the loved ones. Could it be because they want all the money without oversight into their schemes? I think so!
This woman is truly evil. let's hope the courts find justice for the victims...both elderly and the woman's own family.
