OMG OMG OMG TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE REIGN OF CORRUPT GUARDIANS AND ATTORNEYS IN CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
Finally, after over 2 years of delays in Family Court, our trial against private guardian April Parks took place.
.The honorable Judge Nancy Allf presided. Homa and Adam Woodrum did a great job of representing my mom. I am so grateful.
After over 4 hours of testimony, Judge Allf made her ruling.
She stated “PARK’S ACTIONS WERE SO EGREGIOUS THAT THEY DEMAND A DISGORGEMENT”
She went on to say Parks was guilty of FRAUD, THEFT, BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY AND CONVERSION OF FUNDS.
She then went on to order that Parks is not entitled to any of the $22k in guardian fees and she must return the $13k she prepaid herself.
Noelle Palmer Simpson (Park’s first attorney) is to return the $3000 she was supposedly paid by Parks.

Reports of serious, physical, sexual and verbal abuse are “numerous” among the nation’s nursing homes, according to a congressional report released today.
The study, prepared by the minority (Democratic and Independent) staff of the Special Investigations Division of the House Government Reform Committee, finds that 30 percent of nursing homes in the United States — 5,283 facilities — were cited for almost 9,000 instances of abuse over a recent two-year period, from January 1999 to January 2001.
Common problems included untreated bedsores, inadequate medical care, malnutrition, dehydration, preventable accidents, and inadequate sanitation and hygiene, the report said.
Many of the abuse violations caused harm to the residents, the report said.
In 1,601 cases, the abuse violations were serious enough “to cause actual harm to residents or to place the residents in immediate jeopardy of death or serious injury,” it said.
“What we have found is shocking,” says Rep. Henry…

When Justice Alito was still on the Third Circuit, he was on the panel before whom I appeared, and authored the an opinion in a case early in my civil rights career, I represented a man, David Chittister, who sued the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for First Amendment retaliation and for violations of the Family Medical Leave Act. The case was mentioned in his Supreme Court confirmation hearings – https://books.google.com/books?id=cQPWT1nb6soC&pg=PA1362&lpg=PA1362&dq=chittister+v+dced&source=bl&ots=6TSDkb3E3t&sig=FC_m5lu6P_x6joWcBjAA38UK1GY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi6p-fap-zQAhWD4iYKHYO9DfIQ6AEINDAE#v=onepage&q=chittister%20v%20dced&f=false.
The claim involved a scheme to circumvent an open political graft program (the “WAM” program for “Walking Around Money”) which Governor Tom Ridge eliminated as a campaign promise. It was a significant factor in his election. Upon the change in administration, the money earmarked for that program was funneled through a program managed by Mr. Chittister. He denied the one-line requests for a few thousand dollars here and there for no programmatic purpose, and began to…

Of course, everyone knows that the main revenue stream keeping Elder Cleansing alive is the over use of opiods and psych drugs on the elderly and disabled.
Only one problem, the use of psych drugs and opiods in elders and disableds comes with a black box warning against such use by the FDA and is highly illegal.
Probate courts condemn the elderly to slums and ghettos called “nursing homes” who then drug the patients to death. If they resist, they are held down and shot up with halodol (Wyman and Teichert). No one stops this. If Protective Family members protest, they are smeared and called felons, drug addicts (when it’s the probate judges and attorneys forcing illegal drugs on seniors and disableds) and they are threatened.
Look at this indictment and see why it is nearly impossible to stop the machine, until people get fed up and light a…

This column originally appeared in the Chicago Journal.
Hey bud, would you like to buy a judge? Judges in Illinois can be bought by cash or votes.
The Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Cook County buys judges with the promise of votes, naming them to the party’s official slate in exchange for implicit support. The key phrase at the slating session of prospective judges is “I am a lifelong Democrat,” which is code for saying, I’ll decide cases when I can the way the party wants.
Terry Lavin, a current slated candidate, put his credentials for judge at the slating session this way: “I have been a loyal Democrat. I voted in each of the Democratic primaries [of the] last twenty years. I helped the Speaker [Illinois House…

Now the real question is, why are the deaf being covered by the ADA but elders and disableds suffering abuse, bedsores and chemical restraints generally receive no protection from our state and federal court system under the ADA?

NEW YORK — A New York City woman, who is deaf and says NYPD officers wrongfully arrested her and then ignored her pleas for an American Sign Language interpreter, has settled her lawsuit against the city for $750,000, a sum her lawyers say is the largest ever deaf discrimination settlement for a single person.
“Our client is pleased that she can now move on with her life and…

Am Fam Physician. 2000 Mar 1;61(5):1437-1446.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987 limited the use of psychotropic medications in residents of long-term care facilities. Updates of OBRA guidelines have liberalized some dosing restrictions, but documentation of necessity and periodic trials of medication withdrawal are still emphasized. Antidepressant drugs are typically underutilized in nursing homes. Tricyclic antidepressants have many side effects and thus are not preferred medications in elderly patients. Anxiety and insomnia are common problems in the institutionalized elderly. If behavioral measures are not successful, antidepressant medications with shorter half-lives may avoid drug accumulation, which can lead to excessive sedation, cognitive impairment and an increased risk for falls. In the elderly, antipsychotic medications can cause serious side effects, such as extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia. Newer…
