NASGA Celebrates World Elder Abuse Awareness Day June 15, 2009
NASGA is a civil rights organization comprised of victims and families working to expose and end unlawful and abusive guardianships/conservatorships.
It is fitting that on this day of global recognition, NASGA brings to public attention a shocking truth: elderly and/or disabled and vulnerable people are often abused – physically and financially - by their court-appointed “protectors.” The abuse is enabled under color of law by uncaring or corrupt courts presiding over guardianship/conservatorship cases.
Unlawful and abusive guardianships constitute elder abuse at its worst.
Unlawful and abusive guardianships constitute elder abuse at its worst.
Guardianship wards are often isolated from family and friends and forcibly removed from their homes to nursing homes where they die prematurely, alone and afraid; completely unaware of their families’ constant struggle – almost always in vain - to free them. The court-appointed fiduciaries and their lawyers engage in dissipating their victims’ assets by exorbitant and/or fraudulent billing, leaving them indigent, to ultimately become a burden on the US taxpayers under Medicaid – quite contrary to the intent of the “protective” statutes.
Many families go to the Office of the Attorney General for help - only to be turned away because the abuse has been court sanctioned.
Americans should be outraged by this public sanctioning of abuse. NASGA calls for legislative reform to stop this insidious crime foisted upon our most vulnerable citizens - the elderly and disabled – by misapplication and misuse of law actually intended to protect them.
