An elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease was taken from her home, imprisoned, and isolated at an assisted living facility. A step-granddaughter seized the entire estate. Sheriff's deputies aided and abetted the crimes. Social services agencies ignored the abuse. California Assembly Bill AB 937 (2013) was passed in response to the unlawful isolation.

ReplyDeleteIsolation should be a crime. I'm sorry your mother suffered and no one could help her.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a way to give your mother a legacy. Good for you. She had herself a good daughter.

The bond of family is a birthright: a particular right of possession or privilege one has from birth; a natural or moral right, possessed by everyone.
The bond of family was not given to us by the government.
