Three years ago, the I-Team reported on a Florida senior who was declared "incapacitated" by a judge, and put under the control of a professional guardian.
A woman fights to get her life back nearly two years after being freed from Florida's broken court-ordered guardianship system; the guardian has her registration revoked
Mudslinging and character assassination is an expected part of politics. It’s what you signed up for. Running for public office means opening yourself up to intrusive probings into your personal life, hit jobs from political reporters, and even attacks on your close friends and family members.
These types of dirty tricks, common in politics should be nowhere near our legal guardianship systems. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The legal system is supposed to provide a refuge of justice and protection for the innocent and the abused. It should never be used as a weapon to steal an unsuspecting person from their hard-earned possessions as well as their dignity.
