STOP ELDER ABUSE & GUARDIANSHIP SYSTEM ABUSE Sponsored by: Elder Rights Advocates Targeted to: National and State Leaders and Obama Administration WE ARE CALLING FOR NATIONAL EFFORTS TO CONFRONT THE ABUSE AND FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF OUR ELDERLY AND VULNERABLE CITIZENS. ELDER ABUSE IS ON THE RISE AND THE GUARDIANSHIP SYSTEMS IN OUR STATE COURTS INTENDED TO PROTECT THE VULNERABLE, ALL TOO OFTEN, FAIL TO DO SO. CASES CAN ULTIMATELY COST A VULNERABLE PERSON, AND THEIR FAMILY, TENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS, OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS; SOMETIMES, FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN GREED. THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO LITTLE CONCERN ABOUT THE COST TO THE WARD. AFTER ALL, WHEN THE MONEY RUNS OUT, YOU AND I (THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS) WILL JUST PICK UP THE TAB IN MEDICAID AND SOCIAL SECURITY DOLLARS. THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET RICH QUICK IS TEMPTING FOR PERPETRATORS WHO KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. PROFESSIONALS AND PETITIONERS WHO ABUSE THE SYSTEM GIVE A BAD NAME TO THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. STRANGERS ARE OFTEN APPOINTED TO TAKE OVER THE PERSON'S LIFE AND FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO END UP SEPARATED FROM THEIR OWN LOVED ONES, DARE NOT SPEAK OUT FOR FEAR OF LOSING THE RIGHT TO EVEN VISIT THEM AT A TIME WHEN THEY ARE MOST VULNERABLE. IN THE MEANTIME THESE DEAR CITIZENS CAN LOSE ALL OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS AND COULD END UP WITH FEWER RIGHTS THAN A PRISONER ON DEATH ROW. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THE OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH COST THAT CAN FLEECE THE ESTATES OF OUR VULNERABLE CITIZENS AND THERE IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE FOR THE ABUSE THAT CAN BE DOLED OUT - BY UNSCRUPULOUS ATTORNEYS, UNPROFESSIONAL OR UNFIT GUARDIANS AND UNDERFUNDED COURTS - TO FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TRULY CARE AND ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE DEAR TO THEM WHO IS IN NEED. WE NEED A FAMILY MEMBER'S BILL OF RIGHTS SO WE CAN HAVE A VOICE TO HELP OUR LOVED ONES WHEN THEY GET OLD AND VULNERABLE ! WE NEED NATIONAL OVERSIGHT, LEGISLATION AND CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT WORK ! WE NEED NATION REFORM THAT ENSURES JUSTICE AND REDUCES THE COST OF GIVING A HELPING HAND ! WE NEED CHANGE AND TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN ! YES WE CAN ! PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION FOR CHANGE !
