Next door, down the street, or somewhere nearby, an entire world of crises and human suffering exists unbeknownst to you. The victims are everywhere around us but concealed for years, even from their own spouses and adult children, clergy, physicians, and colleagues. These are the voiceless hidden victims of violent, abusive professional guardianships, in which successful lives are buried suddenly and covertly in piles of court documents prepared to rob victims of their due process, civil, and human rights.
From the Congressional Record:
"It will shock you, as it did me, to learn just how frequently abuse can occur following the establishment of a guardianship... The typical ward has fewer rights than the typical convicted felon... By appointing a guardian, the court entrusts to someone else the power to choose where they will live, what medical treatment they will get and, in rare cases, when they will die. It is, in one short sentence, the most punitive civil penalty that can be levied against an American citizen... "
Even though you do not know it, veterans or some other elderly or disabled persons you know are being held in any of thousands of nursing homes, group homes, medical facilities, and private residences against their wills, with enormous medical, emotional, and financial consequences to these scores of thousands of Wards of the State of Florida and to generations of their families trying to see and free their beloved ones. The system in reality is worse than science fiction. In this book, you will see for yourself the secret reality close by!
