I will answer your question, no the state has no right to hold anyone against their will, other then convicted felons and some of my x relatives. If they can get up and walk out they should be allowed to. If it results in death in some fashion it is their choice. This could be illegal imprisonment or even kidnapping IMHO.
The state needs to get out of the lives and deaths of people. It is not their business. Sometimes the road to hell is intentionally paved with good intentions.
it’s a big money making industry in TX and most likely nationwide.
Someone sees an elderly person in the hospital,all they have to do is go down and file that so and so is in need of a guardian to get the ball rolling and you are sucked into the court system and just like the scam within family court/CPS they LIE.
Some nurse pulled a similar stunt in CT and the man wound up in a locked unit,his family was advocating for him etc-
Michael Gross,and it took a while for the filed case to get to the judge and even the judge was outraged at the actions of the probate court, the court appointee etc. gross v rell.
They pulled a similar stunt with my own adult aged disabled son and he wound up ward of the court even though we were SCREAMING TO LET HIM OUT. he was held against his will for more than 4 months. and held without a crime,charges,hearing-nothing.
Probate actions leading to guardianship are the adult aged version of a CPS kangaroo court and it’s time people woke up and fight back simply along the lines of the USC deprivation of rights. the entire procedure is unconstitutional from no crime having been committed to no due process throughout.
