2014 Year-End Reflection #4: Increasing Media Attention

We are very appreciative of the increasing media attention of guardianship and conservatorship abuse, including the hard-hitting Columbus Dispatch expose, Adam Walser’s ABC Action News I-Team’s continuing coverage (including celebrating their award of the prestigious DuPont Award for their series), individual reporters’ coverage of multiple cases in their respective states, a free-lance reporter whose goal is to do a story in every state; and the resultant unscrupulous guardians exposed for theft or other elder abuse.

We thank Marti Oakley for her passion for the cause and for her Internet talk radio shows on guardianship abuse:  T.S. Radio.    We likewise thank advocate Bev Cooper for her weekly Illinois cable show: North Shore "Live": Cooper's Corner.

We have teamed up with many new Social Media pages with whom we share posts:
Boomers Against Elder Abuse
Bendigo Banksters
Save Dorothy Wilson, Legally Kidnapped
Rescue Gary Harvey
GRADE (Guardianship Reform Advocates for the Disabled-Elderly
Elders Against Guardianship
Elder Advocates
Keep Marise Home With Family
Florida Guardianship Law Talking Points
Guardianship Laws
Archangels of Justice
Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Awareness
Arizona Probate Reform

And we appreciate every social media "like" and "share" because, together we get the word out farther and faster.
Thank you to the power of the press and everyone else who raises awareness of guardianship abuse.

North Shore "Live" - Cooper's Corner: Elder Abuse in the Hospital, Part 1

Bev's guest is Janet Bedin and her attorney Tony Romanucci. Ms. Bedin brought her 86-year-old mother into Northwestern Hospital because she had a hernia in her abdomen. She was tested, released and told to go home until she had symptoms of pain. Ms. Bedin kept taking her mother back because she was losing weight and almost six months later, the internist checked her CAT scan to find Pancreatic Cancer that should have been diagnosed and treated immediately. Ms. Bedin readmitted her into Northwestern and by this time, her mother lost forty pounds, was horribly sick, weak and Northwestern wanted her discharged. Insisting that her mother get proper medical attention, Ms. Bedin refused. The hospital threatened to revoke her Power of Attorney and take custody of her mother through guardianship.

Northshore 'Live' - Cooper's Corner

[C]ourt-appointed guardians have the authority to make judgments about medical care, property, living arrangements, lifestyle and potentially all personal and financial decisions for high-risk adults with cognitive impairments and for disturbed and mentally challenged children who become threats to themselves and others. Absent the monitoring of court-appointed guardians, opportunities arise for abuse and malfeasance.

Individuals associated with ProbateSharks.com, known as Sharks, have found that the Corrupt Cook County Probate Court is indeed proficient in the quick-sales of properties, 6 weeks on the average; placing of wards’ estates into OBRA Special Needs Pooled Trusts (resulting in public aid placement, even for the rich); maintaining cases that are out of Cook County’s jurisdiction (wards live in another county, yet funds are held hostage by OPG (Office of Public Guardian); spending down of disabled wards’ estates with guardian and legal fees; restricting family members from inquiring about their loved ones(s), and restricting family from visiting their loved one when concerns over the spending of the estate are raised to the court.

Distraught citizens are discovering ProbateSharks.com website via the Internet. Subsequent contacts with Beverly Cooper are providing them with opportunities to present their testimonies on Cooper’s North Shore “Live” weekly Comcast TV program. Not all of Bev’s contacts have been from the Chicago area.

So far ten individuals have been featured on North Shore Live “Coopers” Corner, all with stories to tell of the abuse and fraud they experienced in their dealings with Cook County Probate Court, with more to come. These videotaped interviews have already been viewed all over Lake County and surrounding collar counties on community public TV stations. DVD’s can be had by contacting Bev Cooper at Bev.cooperscorner@yahoo.com.
