And on this eve of yet doing battle to get the stories of all my probate victims told to the IARDC tribunal when no words can describe the utter horrors and victimization that have occured, Ms. Miller directs us to her website where her story, her pleading and her cries for justice can be found
She also coins the new term “elder trafficing” and I wonder if that is more apt to what is going on. Ken Ditkowsky likes the term elder cleansing. And for certain, disableds and the elderly are cleansed of their wealth, their human and civil rights and their dignity and their advance directives, but it all starts with the idea and concept that elders can and may be targeted. Those you know and love. Those that are your aunts, uncles, grandparents, — you name it, it happens.
I wonder if the ARDC lives in fear of all the stories I can tell and will tell. The ones not on this blog The ones of the victims that will not allow me to talk, to comment. They are ashamed, embarrased but they are not yet dead. But their files live on.
It used to be a regular occurrence, the fires at the OPG or Office of Public Guardian. (SO doesn’t like me saying this, so I will direct you to one article http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-10-17/news/0410170038_1_public-guardian-feels-cook-county-administration-building so you can read about it yourself. 3 people died because doors used to be “no entry” in loop buildings, but now that is changed) But then a few people they forgot to warn on Friday afternoon died in those fires, so they don’t set them anymore to destroy records–as alleged by probate victims and some attorneys who will remain nameless. Besides, Dorothy Brown, after much cajoling is sewing up that avenue. The pleadings, records and files are on the internet and with your help, those days will in fact be over. I would like to bring in Pacer to Cook County Court system, and to the IARDC, but it has not happened yet.
We need transparency, we need accountability in so, so many departments of Cook County government it is indeed agonizing to many families and friends of wards.
So please show up on Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 am. We can and will fight this together. My blog does not lie. It ticks off the powers that be, but they created the situation and dwell within it. They need to move on to a new forum. Not the court system.
