Want you to know there are many of us at NASGA who do care. We each found ourselves in the same situtation as you, one way or an other. I personally was tricked the same way you were. I was told 90 days… guardian has to file a report to the court letting them know what happened. We would be able to bring mom back home. My mom had been granny-napped and taken 1200 miles from home to the “The Sunshine State”. 2 1/2 yrs. later, I continue to fight the state of Florida. I’ve told them to keep her money just give my mom back… the won’t. If they don’t keep my mom they can’t exploit her, bouncing her back and forth like a beach ball taking every penny she has in lawyer fees, court costs and professional guardian fees.
We care about you!

Boy, do you tell it like it is! Thank you!

Check out the chapter headings on the NASGA website – AnOpenLetterToCongress.info – and you’ll see that this disease has spread all across the country.

I am OUTRAGED at the constitutional and statutory deprivation involved in these cases. Public outrage is needed to end it. Do they know that it is costing them?

Guardianship is necessary in many cases, but the Elder Bar (and the Bar-card-carrying judges have taken a good and necessary law and perverted it into something evil.

Unfortunately, this kind of “blackmail” is common in abusive guardianship situations. Sadly, isolating a vulnerable person from his/her family is an effective means to wear the ward’s support system down. If the family complains to the facility, the facility points to the guardian; if the family complains to the guardian, the guardian points to the court. And lastly, of course, the court points to both the facility and the guardian. They stand in a circle and point to each other. Meanwhile, the ward suffers alone and afraid.

Please ask Maggie’s family to contact NASGA at info@StopGuardianAbuse.org.

Thanks Elaine.
I’m told by the family that they were threatened by the Guardian that any attempt to stop him will result in punishment of their mother.
