Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Denise Langworthy was appointed as My Mother's unwanted and unneeded Guardian. The first thing Mrs. Langworthy did was took My Mom's cell phone away and She did not let My Mother talk to her only son for a whole year. She placed My Mother in another town, in another county in a Nursing Home.

She isolated My Mom from her husband and her family. A diagnonis of Dementia doesn't mean that My Mother needs to be locked up and the key thrown away. She lied and court, put a restraining order against me because of a Facebook  post I made for my own personal mental health. I recorded the "home inventory" where she brought along an armed poice officer, and did not really take much of an inventory. She was telling the armed poice officer how many of these home inventories she does a week. Denise had a fit when I was recording My Mother's "care conference" She accused me that I was recording it for My brother and Father to hear.

Now just recently Robert Givens, would not respond to any of my emails trying to set up a time to get my belongings. He got three giant dumpters and emptied out the house throwing everything that we owned away, while letting neighbors take anything they wanted, without affording that option to us. They filed an eviction action against me. Denise lied under oath in court that they needed to sell the house for medical bills. I bet a million dollars that there are no unpaid medical bills, My Parent's had insurance, on their insurance. Making sure that I was not allowed on the property or I would go to jail. Making me powerless to do anything. I could not find anyone to help me, or My family.

I had POA for My Mother, Denise had a fake looking document and said she "Revoked" My POA. I did research and I do not believe that was legal. It is not that easy to get rid of a POA. They usually go until the person passes away. My Mother thinks she is being punished for something. 

Denise had them charge me with FInancial Exploitation of My Parent's. (not true, I can prove it)  She also had me charged with Caregiver neglect. I requested a reconsederatrion, but that was denied.

I cannot find an Attorney to take My case. 

My Dad is A Veteran. I reached out to them for help, they think that I am an evil, rotten free loader. I was Doing Scott Counties job, I was talking care of three vulnerable adults. This whole situation is so bizare and unbelivable, and frustrating.

A diagnonis of Dementia doesn't mean that My Mother needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.

Well, it does mean that she cannot be left alone without doing serious harm to yourself, and you seemingly cannot be trusted based on your social media posts for what you admit was for your own mental health?  I mean you keep leaving evidence indicating you are hardly in any position to competently care for anyone.  If you were the caregiver and left a ranting social media post, then caregiving was not something you should have been doing.

They filed an eviction action against me. Denise lied under oath in court that they needed to sell the house for medical bills. I bet a million dollars that there are no unpaid medical bills, My Parent's had insurance, on their insurance. Making sure that I was not allowed on the property or I would go to jail. Making me powerless to do anything. I could not find anyone to help me, or My family.  First, you would lose that bet.  That home she was placed in has already incurred bills that in all likelihood would not be covered by insurance for any extended period of time.  What happens in these situations is that the house is going to be sold and the proceeds from the sale going to pay for her bills in the old age home, or whatever care home she is now in.  It's too late for anyone to help you.  Since the property will no longer be yours, unless you intend to buy the house...the property is no longer in the possession of your parents....or yours.

I had POA for My Mother, Denise had a fake looking document and said she "Revoked" My POA. I did research and I do not believe that was legal. It is not that easy to get rid of a POA. They usually go until the person passes away. My Mother thinks she is being punished for something.  A POA can be easily revoked by a guardian acting on your mother's behalf, and it isn't that hard given what you've already written.  If you want to understand how social media posts can be used against you - all the guardian had to do was show that off, show that she is now guardian, and you lose your POA.  NOW, had you been named guardian first, then it would have been hard to revoke your guardianship. In other words, you have it all wrong and backwards.

Insofar as what your mother thinks at this point, it really doesn't matter....she has been determined as incompetent by the court system.  Dementia stinks, but you or they should have had a trust created at some point prior to their current situation, to direct the court as to what should happen if they become incompetent.

There is no one who can help you at this point.  Insofar as whether you are a freeloader or not, if you have the opportunity to live on your own and pay rent on an apartment, then you certainly are not a freeloader.  If you cannot, then perhaps you might be.  Note:  for full disclosure, I am not with the care center, the church, or anyone you know.

First Guardianship has to be established through the courts. Second even though you have POA, Guardianship oversees that. A diagnosis of Dementia means your Mother is incapable to handling her own affairs and cannot sign any paperwork regardless.

As for the rest of your report is makes no sense!! I suspect you did neglect your parents by exploiting them for financial gain if a court awarded Guardianship to someone. Don't like what happened then petition the court for Guardianship yourself but once this report is put into record I highly doubt that you will get what you want. AND if no attorney will touch this case means you HAVE no case. And NO I have no clue who this person is but I work with the elderly and deal with this on a daily basis.
