Petition: To Return Mary G Sykes Home and to Remove Carolyn Toerpe as Plenary Guardian

Probate elder abuse in Cook County is a continuing issue. The courts are corrupt and deny the elderly their human rights on a regular basis.

Mary G Sykes, a 92 year old woman is just one example.

While she stood in open court and wanted to tell the judge she wanted to return home with her daughter Gloria J Sykes, she was denied this right. She was repeatedly denied the right to an attorney by the court. Her GAL's only listened to one party--Carolyn Toerpe and the entire procedure was railroaded. Gloria was denied the right to be her guardian--even though she lovingly cared for her for 10+ years in Mary's own home. Carolyn, who had little contact and rarely took her mother was awarded Plenary Guardianship in a railroaded proceeding.

  3. The Sykes case is one of many, and we'll take a victory at a time. Here's hoping Mary Sykes gets to go home.

  5. This case is another indication, of how the Civil Rights of an elder individual are violated,and ignored. Who benefits from the Civil Rights Amendment, if not enforced by the judiciary?

    It is time to end the tyranny and bring Mary home. eb
