  • It is sad that people even have to think they need to look to the government to help - too often the gov is what is wrong with the picture. If there is abuse like the sister and bro went thru, that is so sad. If they crooks get caught, that is super.

    When there are no crooks or bad guys, just gov interference, and use of their power to interfere when it isn't needed, that is being a crook too. Click thru to see this happening.

  • oops....at the end I MEANT to say: It's complex, but the Court is NOT looking AT the truth...I'm sorry....

  • What a tragedy for this elderly couple. Such instances need support . But, in Evelyn's case she is NOT being abused, taken advantage of, etc. by her live-in caregiver of 15 yrs. They care for each other as a family. I've been in her home over the last 2 yrs. & have seen how well he cares for her, protects her 24/7, tries to keep her from the very harm APS is accusing him of doing! APS & law enforcement are not telling the truth here. It's complex, but the Court is looking for the truth!
