Texas Guardianship Abuse

Probate courts are supposed to oversee guardians. Yet oversight is erratic and superficial. Absence of constant oversight and no accountability...

Incidents of abuse, neglect and exploitation of incapacitated adults by their guardians have raised a number of controversial issues regarding the courts' administration and oversight of guardianship's.

This should touch everyone in America...It is past time the American people UNITE and STAND UP for what is RIGHT, by telling those in authority "NO MORE are we going to allow our love ones to be tortured, abused, exploited and isolated from their families !

AMERICANS ARE GOING TO STOP THOSE APPOINTED TO OFFICE THAT ARE TERRORIZING OUR AMERICAN FAMILIES !

AMERICANS HAVE THE RESOURCES TO STOP THESE self serving, narcissistic, vile, vindictive officials who think we no longer have a voice.

American Citizens, understand these officials are not going to do what is fair, what is right, justice will never be served under these strong arm predators of tierney.

We as a Nation must come together united, in a dignified, order and DEMAND the ruthless, barbaric treatment of our elders cease and their Rights as American Citizens be honored. It is time the guardians and everyone else involved in these crimes are held Accountable !

The General Accounting Office did their job now it's time for Wisconsin Democratic US Senator Herb Kohl, chairman of the Senate Committee on Aging to do his job.

IT'S TIME: To take his blinders off, remove his earplugs, and stop this madness now by holding a news conference and announce to all 50 states - the gig is up, hearings will be held at the local and federal level as the first step to stop the insanity and criminal activities under color of law.

Did anyone see this GAO report on any of the major news sources or in their local newspapers?

If so please direct me to the links.

Let them know how you feel and do it now before we see your video here at nasga blog, it's time to stop guardian abuse if not now...when?

Senator Kohl:

1) what do you know?
2) how do you know it?
3) when did you know it? and
4) what if anything are YOU going to do about it?
