Ohio Rep. Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) is sponsoring a bill aimed at helping victims of elder abuse and financial exploitation.According to a press release from Gov. Mike DeWine's office, the Ohio Elder Justice Act will update current law to improve the response to elder abuse victims by strengthening Adult Protective Services in Ohio. Dovilla worked with DeWine's Elder Abuse Commission to draft the proposed legislation.
Some of the key provisions of the bill include:
• Requirement of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to create a registry to help identify patterns of reported abuse.
• Obligation of employees in various financial service industries to report suspected elder abuse to help prevent the elderly from falling victim to financial crimes.
• Establishment of a statewide Elder Abuse Commission to increase awareness and research, formulate and recommend strategies to improve policy, funding and programming, and identify opportunities to coordinate statewide efforts to address elder abuse.

Good to see many states starting to step up to the general subject of elder abuse. Now, if we can get them to see guardianship abuse is elder abuse, we're on our way.
This one's not good enough. APS s often a large part of the problem.
We need laws with teeth!
I have spoke to Dovilla office and ask to have them call me back when these issues were moving forward but that never happened. My story is the reason those recommendations were made in the first place by OAG EAC because APS was aiding and abetting the abuser of my Dad. Read it here:
Read on BEFORE opening drop box for photos and police reports.

The people listed below are ACCOMPLICES (Before, During or After) to Abuser James R. Miller of ELDER Clair Miller and they to should be Criminally Charged as an Accessory. Everyone on this list is a Mandatory Reporter by Law except Family & Friends. Imagine that!
The doors of these people have been banged on so many times and knew this abuse was going on but they turned a deaf ear, did nothing or had an excuse. This should disgust the citizens. This is our tax dollars NOT working. Why aren't they being charged when they fueled this abuse?????
This never would have happened to Clair if they had listen to the trusted daughter and obeyed the Laws of our State, professional credentials and the Miller's legal documents. These people below are just as guilty. Please Call Ohio Attorney General's Office and ask to speak directly to Mike DeWine 800-282-0515 and ask why didn't this daughter get the guardianship to prevent and protect her father? Then DEMAND the filing of criminal charges on the OFFICIALS who knew about this and did NOTHING!!!!!!
This is IRresponsible and UNaccountable for the dollars we put in their pockets to take care of our business. On Sept. 14, 2012 the judge walters denied the emergency guardianship Rosanna filed for her father and gave it to Fansler JD who has been a supporter and accomplice to Abuser james for 4 yrs. aiding him to commit these crimes on Clair!! YES HE KNEW ABOUT THIS…. Is there an end to the COLLUSION to PERVERT JUSTICE and JUDICIAL TYRANNY that is out of control in our country???
