Article from the site: National Organization To Stop Guardian Abuse

* The American people don’t deserve to lose their rights when they get old and weak and need a helping hand or because someone can convince a judge they need help even if they don’t; Family and friends, who are willing and able, should not be unjustly denied the right to be a guardian or to exercise an existing durable power of attorney just to create an opportunity for the professionals (attorneys and guardians) who are strangers to take over a vulnerable person’s life who will bill enormous fees for their services that rarely benefit the vulnerable person that results in the looting the estates of the vulnerable persons estate. The vulnerable person is put in a facility somewhere where they are often neglected, abused, medicated and even Isolated from their loved ones in the last of their golden years. it’s all done under a system called Guardianship or Conservatorship under the auspices of protecting our elderly and vulnerable citizens. It is time for this to END!

GUARDIANSHIP ABUSE IS THE WORST FORM OF ELDER ABUSE AND MORE

* All over America in our State Courts everyday American Citizens are being stripped of their civil and constitutional rights in some probate or similar court. Once in guardianship those with assets are loosing all of their property to perpetrators who have learned to use a system intended to protect to unjustly enrich themselves. The National Organization to End Guardianship Abuse was founded by a group of concerned citizens who have witnessed first hand the horrors and abuses of this legal black hole they can never get out of. Guardianship abuse is what happens when perpetrators use the guardianship system to loot a vulnerable persons estate while the neglect or abuse the person they should be protecting.

* In order to be put into guardianship a citizen must be declared incompetent or more recently just have a diminished capacity in many States. It is so easy now to get a person put into guardianship that I worry one day when I cannot bend over and tie my shoes that they could say I am incapacitated and put me into a guardianship somewhere. Many stories in the media and victims accounts are surfacing where private citizens are being forced into guardianship for ulterior motives. AND that motive is greed… outright greed.

* Once in guardianship a citizen faces civil death and has essentially has less rights than a prisoner on death row. They are so powerless that they do not even have the right to be heard if they cry out for help and have no right to speak for themselves anymore. What kind of people would use a system that was intended to protect those who need a helping hand to instead abuse, neglect and for all practical purposes rob them?

* Elder Abuse and financial exploitation is a crime that is poorly addressed in our society. But this form of abuse and exploitation, carefully hidden from the public eye and disguised as a form of protection, is being purposely ignored by the criminal justice system and is destroying the lives of thousands of vulnerable citizens and the lives of their family members. 

It is being perpetrated by unscrupulous professionals and private citizens in guardianships and conservatorships in and through America’s State Courts. Under guardianships vulnerable citizens can be and often are striped of their civil rights, robbed of their property, abused, neglected and even hidden from or prevented from seeing their family and loved ones. 

It takes a person without a conscience to watch someone die knowing that they have been 100% responsible for an early demise....

Colleen Patterson, in my opinion, fits criteria for a serious Personality Disorder which is generally referred to as Anti-social Personality (or) Psychopath.

Like sexual offenders these guardians have  their "victim pool" in which they are quite skilled in the art of deception, manipulation and have the ability to objectify other humans in order to hurt them so badly that often the result is death.  Sex Offenders find jobs where they have access to children....Guardians seek employment where they have unregulated access to elderly and other vulnerable citizens. 

What could have happened in the lives of these Predators that they can so callously dehumanize the  most vulnerable  individuals they can find?
