I could not read the article w/o disabling my Ad Blocker.
In California, we have Child Protective Services and Adult Protective Services. In the Northern Bay, we have Golden Gate Regional Center, that will appoint advocates for elderly or disabled adults. Why was no one checking on this young woman?

The article says she was getting benefit checks. That sounds like SSI. I suppose it can happen, where someone is completely overlooked. The horrible family members probably pretended to be her caregivers, and nobody ever challenged them on it. No body ever asked if they were really qualified to care for her. Did anyone ever interview this young woman alone and ask her how she felt about things? Or were those Quarterly Reports faked too? Sad!!

The Knopes were cruel and stupid. If they were taking her check then they should not have treated her in such a way as would likely shorten her life.

all you have to do is x it out and it goes away, no need to disable anything.
