And WHO was overseeing Deloach, a reputable health care facility; a State run facility; or was she hired by the family? If she was employed by a health care facility/state run facility THEY should be held accountable as well. If she was hired by the family, ACCOLADES to them for bringing this THIEF to justice.

There's another story here and it's about what happens to the victim now. Most often, the courts rush in to "protect" the victim via a guardianship. What happens next is guardians and their lawyers get rich off the backs of the very people they have been court-appointed to protect! The victim gets re-victimized by the system that's supposed to be protecting him/her. For more information, visit NASGA at www.StopGuardianAbuse.org and read victims' stories for yourself. Forewarned is forearmed! Yours, Elaine Renoire NASGA
