If this can happen in America without national health care imagine what will happen to people when we have national health care!
67 and 70??
I’ll bet I could still through a punch that would get somebody’s attention!
Wow. They need help outside of what the state and court are “giving”.
This is just Terry Schiavo, the sequel. She wasn't a criminal, and had broken no laws, but she was forced into a death more cruel than the worst criminal on death row can be given because she had become inconvenient to her so-called "husband", Michael.
I lived in FloriDUH at the time of Terry and I hate to see it being replayed here in Texas. Perhaps, if we raise enough h$ll with Gov. Goodhair and the Texas Legislature, WE can do what Foridians could not!!!
I live about an hour away. I wish there was something I could do to help. My parents are closer...
I’m sure this story hitting news will bring forward people willing to help, but if not, any ideas?
Aaahhhh...you’ve just gotta love those state social workers.Goodness knows that Hussein does.
"We see you have some money there. Give it to us."
Millions of Americans feel the same way. This is no longer the land of the free.
Because of creeping socialism, there will never be peace on earth until man kind has lost everything. After that, every man will sit under and tend his own vine, and no politician will be able to take it from him ever again. Without the politicians, swords will be turned into plow shares, and man will learn to war no more.
Follow the money....
What is it with Texas? Are these the same people that grabbed all those kids from the Mormon compound, and kept them even after it was revealed that the original complaint was from a nutcase crank caller? God help this poor couple.
They might have been confused and in ill health when they went into custody, but their minds seem to have cleared up. However, there is now no way out of the “incompetency” rabbit hole until somebody else speaks up for them. Good on the TV station for getting this far. Wonder how many more are in such rabbit holes?
The last sentence is the money-line. The state is ALWAYS the last resort and it sounds like another case of state "social workers" over reacting without knowing any of the facts. They do the same thing with children.
Bureaucracies can never love. They can only control.
Only people can care for people.
This is why historically “health care” was a function of the work of the body of Christ.
If folks want the state to replace God and His church, this horror story is what you’re going to get.
There are millions of lonely Americans right now who are finding out the hard way what the soulless state will do for them, and to them.
Something is definitely not right here. These poor folks are being “jailed” for their own good and get to pay for it as well. Just wonderful. Older folks can look forward to more of this type of behavior under 0bamacare.
They seem rational to me, this is just typical government bureaucracy in action.
Something similar happened to a relative of mine years ago in TX, near Fredericksburg. Someone called Adult Protective Services on her because my elderly relative refused to sell them her riverfront property.
A caseworker had a criminal & his mother living in a car. She decided that an elderly woman (my relative) was incapable of being on her own.
She gave my relative a choice-take these people into your home to help you, or be sent to a nursing home. She intimidated my relative.
The criminal and his mother moved into my relative’s house. The criminal started forging checks on my relative’s account. He burned through the account, and then when he demanded more money and threatened to physically harm my relative, she had a heart attack and died.
My relative was very independent, a pioneer, and didn’t tell anyone what was going on. One of those, I can handle it all on my own types who won’t ask for help.
We first heard about it when a concerned person from the bank contacted one of our relatives in a nearby town because of all the account activity. Unfortunately, it was the same morning my relative died.
All of this happened in a space of about one month.
Having worked for the courts here, I can tell you that CPS and APS have some really lousy caseworkers. They want to bring cases to resolution, and will sometimes do things with the potential for the worst possible outcome to close those files.
I have contacted my Texas and Congress Critters on this. Hope they do something about this.
The story says they do not have family that is close, does that mean there is family. Where the hell are they.
Something is missing from the story.
Good Lord!..........$11,000 and the state just took it?...........
