Listen to internet radio with Marti Oakley on Blog Talk Radio
What happens when the state steps in and takes custody and control of an adult? Does the family have any rights? What if the custody was the result of shoddy medical treatment? This is one womans story about how poor medical care and her efforts to care for her critically ill husband resulted in the state taking possession of her husband. And what are they doing for him?
Sara filed her guardianship petition on April 6, 2006. In keeping with the due process requirements of a guardianship proceeding "all parties of interest" received notice of the filing. Nowhere in the notice to interested parties was Chemung County Department of Social Services listed as a party of interest. Yet at a court hearing on February 1, 2007 suddenly and without cause or explanation County Attorney Bryan Maggs was present and participated in the hearing.
ReplyDeleteWhy Bryan? Who said you could join? Do you make it a habit or policy of your office to simply butt into purely civil matters?? And if you and the Department wanted in ---- why did you not file a petition as required of you by law???
Oh I get it ..... you don't folloow the law.....
I listened to this interview and my heart was breaking. How can people be so cruel to a helpless person? Do they have any heart themselves? How would they feel if the tables were turned and it was their loved one institutionalized and isolated?
ReplyDeleteIt's sickening.
This is all about a total disregard for the law and greedy and unscrupulous people doing whatever they can to innocent and helpless people.
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous, Chemung County is beyond unfit. I think they are crimninals.
A case of needless suffering for the sake of a profit.
ReplyDeleteNot unlike most guardianship cases, someone, or more, drunk on their presumed power.
Sad ... makes me think of the Christmas story of WWI where the two warring sides climbed from their trenches for a Christmas party in the field between the trenches. Only to climb back in the trenches and resume battle after the Christmas party.
Needless suffering, no winners. Never is ----
Sad
I was there, it was a great show!! Sounds to me like Chemung County has some explaining to do!! Soon we should know if the Judge is "for justice" or "for Chemung County" no way can he be "for both!!"
ReplyDeleteHow could Chemung County be a "party of interest?" Something stinks her!!
ReplyDeleteI think the County and the hospital together are just covering up for their wrongdoing and punish Sara for fighting too hard - by way of retaliation by not letting her be with her husband without a "guard" or to take him where she is probably better qualified to care for him.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry all...I have a message left on my answering machine on exactly how Brayn showed up on my hearing Febuary 1, 2007....Be interesting to see what other media would be interested in listening to this...They know who they all are..because I certainly do. I have the names left on my voice message. Funny how they all worked for the "county" as indicated on my recording.
ReplyDeleteLoved David's medical professional of 30 years input and insight.
ReplyDeleteGary Harvey doesn't need to be in the hospital. The citizens of Chemung County shouldn't be footing the bill for this unnecessary "stay" in the hospital, when Gary Harvey could be taken care of (better) at home and at less expense to the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Mayor know the taxpayers are been squeezed in this manner?
Thanks for doing this show "Truth Squad."
ReplyDeleteWe believe that the best way to expose this rapidly growing white collar crime in our country is to make a lot of noise. Media attention is critical to inform the public because no one is safe!!
I met Sara Harvey about a year ago after I answered an ad she had on the internet looking for "volunteer guards." After obtaining the Chemung County contact information from Sara Harvey, I called... and I called… There was little to no cooperation on the end of Chemung County to set an appointment promptly but finally, I was granted the appointment where I met with Rita Gould and Diane Giantisco. Chemung County, Gould and Giantisco didn't seem to care that I am CGC Certified guardian with an excellent reputation within our community in fact, they never bothered to call the references that they requested from me. They just promptly turned down my offer to guard “free” saying it was because they read a story about my own mother on the NASGA blog.
My mother is a victim of guardianship abuse. She has literally been kidnapped by a “Professional Guardian” Jetta Getty from Young at Heart Elderly Services in Port Orange Florida while on vacation in Florida. The McKean County Pennsylvania Judge found that my mother was a resident of PA and that there was overwhelming evidence that she wants to return. Well folks, that means she was kidnapped!!

http://www.stopguardianabuse.org/ritadenmark.htm - This is a photo from Christmas 2008 (in case your wondering how healthy my mom is/was).
Jetta Getty is intentionally assuring my mother is given dangerous, non approved anti-psychotic drugs to silence her pleas to go home.
Just like Sara Harvey, I will NEVER be silent about this in hopes of protecting someone else’s family.
While my family patiently waits for a court ruling, I can assure you that Christmas just isn’t Christmas without your family & loved ones!!
I am thankful for NASGA and pray for change in this country!
Keep on fighting for Gary's life and best interest Sara. That is the vow you made, "for better or worse, in sickness and in health."
ReplyDeleteQuestion, did you two get married in NY. Did NY issue a license and now deny your rights under the same marriage license that they issued?
This case is unbelievable!!
Something stinks and it ain't the Harvey's.
Chemung County has their best interst at heart and not Gary Harvey's.
ReplyDeleteCold hearted, cruel people.
Thank God for Sara!
Think how frustrating it is for Mr. Harvey to be unable to defend his wife when she is berated by staff and the court?
ReplyDeleteThis is an incredibly tragic story that could happen to any one of us. I take my hat off to Mrs. Harvey for not giving up or giving in. God love her and bless her on her path to justice.
ReplyDeleteSara was escorted out of her husband's room for taking a picture?
ReplyDeleteNow, think about that. She takes a picture documenting abuse/neglect and she's kicked out.
But Chemung County can leave Gary basically alone day after day in a stark and void environment, leave him lying flat (dangerous for him), leave him in dirty sheets, and even try to kill him, and nobody's escorting them out.
Yeah, who are you protecting Chemung County?
We know. I we know you know too.
America must understand this is really happening and must be Stopped ! Marti and Barb, the information relayed to your listening audience by Sara and All the other wonderful, courageous people was riveting. Can only imagine the disbelief and horror in your listener's mind trying to comprehend the corruption that is happening to our disabled and our elders. America is under the illusion we will be cared for and protected by those we have given our trust to... but instead, we find out those we trusted are the ones exploiting, abusing and giving us a death sentence. My God, what has happened to America? Sara, there are many of us that truely want Justice for you and Gary, with all my heart I truely understand, all you've ever wanted is to "Bring Gary Home," to give him peace, comfort and to know someone is by his side that truely loves him. It is time for those in authority to help Sara. Help Sara, bring Gary home...it is such a small request Sara is asking. New reforms and laws must be put in place "Now," to put an end to the injustice happening in our County.
ReplyDeleteWe need and demand accountability. This abuse of powers and arrogance must stop in the sake of our children and loved ones.
ReplyDeleteI bet if it was the judge's dear beloved one or anyone on Gary Harvey's abusers they would see it differently.
So, What is their criteria? You have to be friends with the devil? Is it you have to hate Sara Harvey or Gary Harvey? Never in my life have I heard such a thing.
The people need to understand that our court system is filled with FRAUD, not always by those that attend court to find justice but by our judges and lawyers. I'm ashamed for having been a police officer for the city of Los Angeles and defending our laws to find that our judges have lost their pride and integrity. They should be tared, feathered and held to a higher standard. My personal experience is with David P. Yaffee, Aviva K. Bobb and Candace Beason of the Los Angeles Superior court system. These judges have been involved with bribery, theft, embezzlement and even murder. Some are doing this to our seniors in the probate division that is suppose to protect us. Conservatorships are CON-Servatorships where lawyers and judges ignore justice and rob weak, defenseless seniors of their life savings. Visit avivakbobb.com for details on the murder by Aviva Koneigsberg Bobb a presiding judge who killed a senior. Googel Richard Fine for info about David P. Yaffee a low life judge who was caught accepting bribes to rule against the people of Los Angeles. This dirt bags then try and retire to another scam outfit called ARC or Alternative Resolution Centers where they pretend to be GOOD judges who are fair. Yet their history is nothing but fair. If it were me I'd ask they all be hanged for their crimes and the people of the USA revolt. Citizens of the USA you need to see what is going on with these BAD lawyers who are then made BAD judges.
ReplyDeleteIs the judge as blind and deaf as 3 the blind mice, Maggs,Gould and Giantisco? Turn a deaf ear to the disabled?
ReplyDeleteI smell a rat in the pile of manure that they dish out.
One stroke of the pen and this all could be over.
My mother is locked away in a Pasadena Dementia home. Several doctors have stated she does not have dementia. My sister perjured her petition so no one would object to her becoming conservator. Sylvia Schmidt, Christopher Overgaard (her lawyer)and Violet Boskovich PVP for Gertrude Gettinger (my 86 year old mother). The court was legally informed and did nothing, in fact they forced this into a trial which they would not let me win. Sylvia the person who perjured her petition was paid $84,000 by my mother estate to help her lie, cheat and fight the documents, proof, witnesses and facts. This should have been a fair and easy case. Conservator LIES. Conservator Steals and Conservator tries to KILL her mother. With proof, documents and witnesses what does the judge do? NOTHING, she ignores everything, even the PVP court appointed lawyer Violet Boskovich lies to the court, now claiming Elder Abuse at the whistleblower. Without any evidence, a total lie. The system is broken, the court does not have control over 1 penny of our mothers estate. They say they do but 2 million dollars is not in a blocked account. Plus $200,000 was never reported to the court and is missing. The missing account numbers were given to the court which they ignored. This is how our courts work today. They don't care, they are based on greed and profit. Seniors of the world BEWARE.
ReplyDeleteAre judges immuned under the ADA? Anyone know? These guardianship victims sure would make great SCOTUS cases to file.
ReplyDeleteTo Chemung County a Christmas song for you.
ReplyDelete"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,.......and...aaaaaaaaaaa "Happy incarcerated New Year"
From all the victims.
They all line their pockets and hands in each others pockets..you do for me and I will do for you seems to be the motto in Elmira NY.
ReplyDeleteWho will be the next victim you claim to protect.
With all this proctection who needs jails.
Beware.
That is just the way it is in America. You never win - with powerful lobby's against you. How do they dare to abuse an individual's Constitutional rights? By the power of the judiciary, which has no checks and balances in place, as other government departments do.
ReplyDeleteWhen is God going to show up and pull the plug on these folks like they tried with Gary Harvey?
ReplyDeleteCON-Servatorships... you got that right.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bunch of Cons serving themselves.
It is criminal!!
Thank you BM
ReplyDeleteI love your song!!! It is so very fitting.
I too wish the professional thieves in this country an "incarcerated" new year.
In fact, "soap on a rope" will make a perfect Christmas gift for Jetta Getty of Port Orange Florida and her friend and co-conspirator Edith Myett who has already been served a judgement against her in excess of $100,000.00 giving Getty a dishonorable mention.
Well Dan, we are ALL "once to die and once to be judged." Chemung County corrupt players WILL be judged on this no matter what Gary and Sara Harvey do.
ReplyDeleteKeep on makin noise Sara, Gary loves you!
Sure hope Chemung County doesn't get away with this criminal activity!!!
ReplyDeleteGo, Sara. The crooks think they can beat you down so you'll give up.
ReplyDeleteYou're showing them! Ha, ha. Your supporters know you'll never give up.
Thank you Truth Squad Marti and Barbara for bringing attention to such an important issue that is accelerating across the country.
ReplyDeleteTo Chemung County, we'll sing it again!!
ReplyDelete"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,"Weee WISH you a TRAUMATIZED Christmas,.......and...aaaaaaaaaaa "Happy incarcerated New Year"
From all the victims.
Anyone contact the FBI about this or any of the crimes???
ReplyDeleteSurely they can help. Maybe that is what I should do next...Please advise my fellow victims.
