What about the nearly blind 90 year old woman with a very meager income per month from social security?
- A guy down the hall in senior housing befriends her and sits with her most of everyday. He watches her cable, because he can't afford cable.
- He smokes her cigarettes.
- He lets her order in at night and pay for his meal, which I'm sure he's eating all of his and most of hers.
- Then, he adds minutes to his cell phone from her bank account at the tune of about $100 in one month and makes long distance calls on her landline, plus about $75.00 in directory assistance calls.
- Last, but not least, he writes 10 checks and has her sign them on the 3rd of the month, the day her check gets to the bank, 10 checks total. Most for $20 and $10 to friends and family for Xmas presents and a couple to himself for $70 and $85.
When reported to abuse, because she has some dementia, then the system jumps in and abuses her even more. The guy is never criminally charged and is still sitting with her as I type this.
But, she is taken to court and it is requested that she take a mental capacity test and railroad her and make the rest of her life HELL!
Why don't they have this guy take a mental test, fingerprint him and tell him the next time a complaint is made, they will prosecute him for exploitation? What is wrong with this picture? Truth is, who cares anyway... she's 90 and worthless to society. Isn't that the way it goes. I can't wait till this is over because I am going to write a HUGE article!!!!!
------------------------------------Special thanks to the writer of this comment. It is another heart-wrenching story. We are as angry as you are. It is not acceptable that senior citizens are not only exploited by scammers; they are also ABUSED by the system, supposedly setup to 'Protect' vulnerable seniors! I have posted a number of articles on Guardianship Abuse. There is now the National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse ( NASGA) - The fight to get this mess cleaned up has started. BUT, we may not see any changes for a long time. The slow wheel of Justice, turns so slowly. Many of those abused in this way, may not see Justice.

This story really breaks my heart, it is so close to what is happening to my mother , except my mother is more like gang financial rape.
Perhaps you can get the reader to offer more information so we can contact somebody and get some help for this poor woman.
