Does this give the “Public Guardian” power of attorney over Mr. Kessler’s bank accounts? I’ve read stories of this happening and the “guardian” wiping out her charge’s accounts.
I wonder if there are any family members.
allegations she was starving him? Did they ASK HIM?
Why not send someone to his home with a sandwich every day at noon? Wouldnt that be cheaper?
Personally, I’d far rather be dead than have my life put in charge of any Debby who spells her name wiith an “i”.
In fact, it’s clear, on the basis of her name only, that Debby - with an “i” - should be placed in the hands of a public custodian.
Maybe she has dementia also, and just thinks she feeds him?
Good grief! Many of the elderly lose their appetites and have to be forced to eat, even when they don’t have dementia!
It’s a shame, but there’s no perfect solution to these situations. She might not have been feeding him. Asking him would probably elicit an answer about all the great meals she prepared for him ..... 30 years ago. Having had some professional and personal experience with these issues, I can say with some certainty that a news reporter is at least as likely as a judge to get this wrong. I had to participate in separating a couple that had been together for 56 years. He couldn’t move his legs much anymore. She thought he was faking it, so she would kick him. They had cute, old people pictures, too. Maybe local news should do a story on it, so some idiots with very little information can show their righteous indignation. Again, no perfect or even good solution.
Good grief.
Watched the video at the link. Part 2, and it sounds like something fishy’s going on there.
and a court order gives others the power to file for their divorce.
