This is from a pleading that has just been filed and will be delivered to the court tomorrow.
It has been since Monday now and I have heard from no one after I informed Cary Peck of Peck Bloom and Ted Rhodes that Allen Frake’s condition is as follows. In the past I have seen judges fish this stuff out of files and hand it back to the “professional” guardian, ie, the abuser, so that everything can be “taken care of”.
I am tired of this.
If someone wants to volunteer to take this down to the court tomorrow, plmk because I am short on staff, as usual.
REPORT TO COURT ON CONDITION
OF ALLEN FRAKE, WARD
To: See attached Service List
Now comes the son and interested party Gary Frake (“Son Gary”) and reports to the court on the health condition of his father, Allen Frake (“Father Allen”) as follows:
1) approximately 4 weeks ago, this court was apprized that Father Allen was complaining of hip pain, had suffered a fall, and the hip had not been xrayed or been given an MRI, nor was Father Allen seen by a doctor; Father Allen’s head was down during the visit and he was visibly drooling. It appeared that an undiagnosed hip injury resulted in Father Allen requiring a wheel chair.
2) approximately 2 weeks ago, Son Gary reported to counsel for the Guardian of the Person that Father Allen was still in pain, his head was down and he was drooling and said very little. He continued to report pain to Son Gary and this was reported to counsel for the Guardian of the Person who said he would look into it.
3) this weekend, during visitation, even his personal care giver (who Rehab Assist should be properly managing) noted that Father Allen was declining rapidly in the last week. Father Allen continued to complain of pain, he was nearly incomprehensible, and said nearly nothing at the last visit.
4) Father Allen’s situation has become critical. The undersigned counsel of record provided this information to Atty. Cary Peck today and he said he would look into the situation. It was also provided to GAL Ted Rhodes who said the same.
Both the undersigned counsel and Son Gary are waiting for answers and for a doctor’s investigation.
It has now been 4 weeks since initial reports of grave concern to warrant a doctor’s report. It has been 4 weeks since a request to diagnose a possible fall and hip injury and nothing has come from that. It has been 4 weeks since Father Allen needs a wheel chair. However, there is physical therapy at $800 per week but no medical study of the hip and new need for a wheel chair.
Son Gary, Sister Jean Semrow and close family cousin Mike Messer are waiting for answers and wondering why Father Allen is in a wheel chair, is constantly hunched over and now drooling so badly, they put a bib on him.
None of this is normal. Everyone is more concerned about selling Father Allen’s properties than caring for his medical needs. Even a representative from Rehab Assist was gravely concerned.
Gary Fracke would like to be his father’s guardian of his property and estate. He would have had a doctor for his father immediately. He would have taken him for an xray or MRI or whatever the doctor recommended. The court appointed “guardians” seem to do nothing and are at best lackadaisical regarding numerous medical symptom bells and whistles. Their assurances spouted in court were that the nursing home doctor would take care of the situation. It has now been 4 weeks and no reports have been given to the family, Father Allen is in rapid decline, the court passes the buck back to the Guardian of the Person and apparently did not inquire during court this morning, both Atty Rhodes and Atty Peck were informed of the situation from the undersigned counsel and she has heard nothing and the family has heard nothing.
This is a system which really does not work. In fact, it is on the nadir end of dysfunctional. The court was told of the situation, the court passed the buck back to the Guardian of the Person. The situation has not improved. Everyone promises to “look into it” but all they do is find properties to sell–not medical needs for a complete and thorough investigation.
It is not understood how the Guardian of the Person, who apparently is informed of a possible a hip injury and hip pain, cannot produce a doctor’s report, cannot obtain prompt MRI’s and xrays, is the proper person to “investigate” a continuing decline of the ward.
Mr. Mike Messer, a close relative of Mr. Allen Frake further reports to the undersigned:
“[Allen Frake’s] medical guardian Tom Kleinhenz [of Rehab Assist] made over $44,500 dollars last year according to court approved billing. My uncle Al was on a lock unit for all 365 days of this billing period. Tom K, “earned” over $850.00 a week! Most of Tom’s time was spent on keeping family away. Tom admitted to me he did not see Al often because he did not want to upset Al or make him angry.” Email of November 18, 2014.
Father Allen should immediately be sent for a competent and thorough medical investigation of his injuries, his pain and his drooling. No explanation has ever been given for his drooling. Certainly, the University of Illinois or the University of Chicago geriatric center can do the proper independent investigation. Son Gary would like permission to take his father to either and get him the medical help his father needs.
Father Allen wants to go home and live in his own home until he dies. If the Guardian is going to neglect medical needs of the ward, certainly Father Allen can be at home where he is most comfortable to finish his days on earth.

PS — Ken assures me that this is SNAFU, or a clear pattern where wards repeated fall until they are wheel chair bound, they are drugged against their will, and then they want to die and do die, being in pain, without diagnosis or treatment from the fall, they are left in a comatose state, unable to speak or communicate they are trapped in their bodies, without hope.
I already have sent numerous emails to the authorities, Dept. of Justice, Attys General Lisa Madigan, Anita Alvarez and Diane Saltoun. I have not heard from a one of them, or that Allen Frake’s condition will be investigated for attempted murder.
On the heels of all of this, I see an article from probate victim Nancy Vallone, RN, who has been fighting for rights for her beloved niece, Danielle Murphy, for years without success because there is just too much money there, and she reports that the “assisted suicide” in nursing homes in Switzerland, available to all residents is coming to the US via Oregon.

René A. Spitz, in the mid-1940s, was one of the first to describe what happened to very young children who spent prolonged periods in institutions where they had no contact with their mothers. Previously happy and outgoing children from six to eleven months old became first weepy and then withdrawn, refusing to take an interest in their surroundings. After three months, Spitz wrote,
A sort of frozen rigidity of expression appeared instead. These children would lie or sit with wide-open, expressionless eyes, frozen immobile face, and a faraway expression as if in a daze, apparently not perceiving what went on in their environment. . . . Contact with children who arrived at this stage became increasingly difficult and finally impossible.Many were unable, or refused, to eat. Spitz described the syndrome not as autism, which experts now believe to have physiological causes unrelated to maternal care, but as anaclitic depression. In one institution nineteen of 123 children studied suffered severe anaclitic depression, and another twenty-six exhibited the syndrome in a milder form.
So, I guess that explains it all. It’s state induced, probate court assisted “anaclitic depression”–where no one cares about you, you are allowed to suffer for months, even years, without human touch or caring, a kiss, a hug, left in a sterile institution, and then the triage begins.
Seems to me, Allen Frake who whispers to his adult son now during visits, immobilized and in pain, “I want to die.”
Anaclitic depression. Got it.
So, here’s to the attorneys that look the other way, like the beleaguered volunteers in a Chinese state run orphanage, this page is dedicated to you: Cary Peck of Peck and Bloom (who only wanted to know who has been told about this and keeps on saying “I will look into it), Judge Quinn who handed back my prior report to the abuser saying “I give this (to the abuse) to look into these claims”, to the court that I cannot email or fax courtesy copies, because there’s no way in the system to do that, to Ted Rhodes, who was aghast on Monday but not aghast to get back to me or the caring family of Allen Frake: Jean Semrow, sister, Son Gary and Nephew Mike Messer. And of course, the Guardian of the Estate just gets to sit by idly and say “All I do is count the money, the yummy money.”
Anyone got any ideas how to light a fire?
Is Allen Frake part of the probate system of involuntary adult assisted suicide coming from Switzerland to the US?
Allen wants to go home. He can now barely whisper this to Gary, and he says he is in great pain to Gary. Ted Rhodes says he thought that was “all resolved”. But does anyone ask Allen? Does anyone let Allen go home? Will anyone take Allen to University of Chicago’s geriactric clinic to get the thorough assistance he needs, hip pain, drugs and all?
I am waiting and watching. This blog goes to many. Who will pass and who will care? Who will cover up and make excuses?
Oh, and in case you want to know, this is all happening in Sunrise Nursing Center in Park Ridge, a beautiful suburb with some of the most beautiful homes and manicured lawns and shrubs in the nation. Hillary Clinton hales from there. And think, just a mile or two away from the house in which she was raised, we have a probate victim ward, trapped in a damaged body in pain, at least a half dozen or more attorneys know about it, and they look at their bank accounts instead. Well as of today, my bank account has $1 in it. I don’t care, I blog. I cry and weep over this wretched system. Jean Semrow today told me I can give up. How do I do that? Is this my “civilization”? I can’t sleep. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I don’t understand all of this. No one ever said it would be like this in Law School. Triage among the disabled, elderly and those who cannot speak for themselves. Attorneys, the ARDC, Jerome Larkin and others turn their heads and look away. There is a need for a grand jury investigation into probate, the 18th floor of the Daley center and the ARDC. The only question is, who is brave enough to do it. I and Ken are brave enough to call for it. We go where no other attorneys dare to go. Who will hear the call and respond? That’s 2 out of 83,000 licensed attorneys in Illinois. Well, Ken isn’t licensed here anymore, they made sure of that. But it is still licensed in numerous other jurisdictions and the ARDC ought to back off on that one.
