High time, should have been a given from the start. It is a God-given right for family to not be cruelly separated. A tragic epidemic that Federal laws are not adhered to by the 50 States.

The ombudsman program in Florida needs help with a similar bill, our elderly civil rights are being ignored at rapid growth among guardianships, that are filled with lies, that never get a fair trial, meaning no justice for the elderly who is isolated and their families, very heart breaking.
Excellent presentation Linda - thank you for your endless efforts giving a voice to those who have been silenced. Legislators need to hear the truth, the other side of the story based on FACTS for fair analysis of the serious problems. TRENT SMITH's statement opposing civil rights for Conservatees based on discrimination tactics stereo typing family. Why am I getting the feeling that SMITH'S views have legs all the way to the courtroom?
Us there any "Mandatory Enforcement" of this legislation? If not, it will be cirumvented as all elder laws, or for that matter, the exclusion of Civil Rights. In other words, it is meaningless. eb
All good intentions aside, I read the revised statute and it doesn't look to me like it really does that much. For one thing, it seems to exclude "limited conservatorships," which are for developmentally disabled persons conserved by a Regional Center, and this doesn't do anything to rein in an abusive Regional Center for a dependent adult. If anyone wants to correct me, go ahead. Keep trying, but this is California, where when APS screws up and is exposed, they get rewarded with more, and more, and more funding, to "fix" the problem with more powers. We have seen legislative window dressing like this many times before.

ReplyDeleteOur side was very impressive - the Assemblyman, the Ombudswoman, and Linda Kincaid.
ReplyDeleteTheir side? Well, pretty bad.
