Video at link DALLAS - Theyre not criminals. Theyve broken no laws. But theyre being held against their will by the State of Texas. Why? Its a tragic story about what can happen when you are alone in the world and lose control of your rights, your money, and your ability to complain.
Jean and Michael Kidd never imagined their retirement would play out like this. I feel like I am not in America, said Michael Kidd. I cant believe I have been hi-jacked off the street, virtually from the hospital, and imprisoned, Kidd told FOX 4.

Hijacking topics and bringing arguments from old threads is considered bad form on FreeRepublic.
“Im sure this story hitting news will bring forward people willing to help, but if not, any ideas?”
The churches used to handle these social issues. Then people left the churches. Things have changed, haven’t they?
So Jim put you in charge? Last I saw you got outed for stalking humblegunner via keywords and before that Jim told you to knock off the feud with him.
Please do us all a favor and cut this childish garbage out.
Thank you.
And John Culberson is my Representative. I believe I'll contact him as well.
BTTT
When you and your buddies posted about me for several days, you lost any modicum of credibility you may have had.
You’re incredible!
This is a very sad story.
Let's stay on topic, shall we?
Meals on Wheels, a home health care worker dropping by to check up on them...that's all they needed.
They're trying to paint these two with "dementia"? It wouldn't hold up in a court of law..
Someone is playing fast and loose with their money. What advocate is intervening for them?
This can happen to any of us. We need to stay on top of this story.

I don’t have the desire to enable you to further your childishness, girl.
Buzz the hell off.
You are welcome. Who knows what really happened; but it’s worth investigating.
Your home page is interesting especially in light of your posts here.
Over The Hill To The Poor House
1. Oh how can it be they have driven
Our father so helpless and old
Oh God may their crimes be forgiven
To perish out here in the cold
Chorus:
I’m old I’m helpless and feeble
And the days of my youth have gone by
And over the hills to the poor house
I must wander alone that I’ve died
2. Long years since Mary was taken
My faithful affectionate wife
Since then I’ve been alone and forsaken
The light has died out of my life
Chorus:
3. I gave them the house they were born in
A deed to the farm and more
I gave them the place that they lived on
And now I am turned from its door
4. Oh me on the doorstep up yonder
I’ve set with my babe’s on my knee
No father so happy or fonder
Than I of my little ones three
As is your cool newbie one.
Pinging your posse won’t give you the relevance you lack, but it will bring them out of the cracks in the sidewalks so you can all tell each other you’re relevant. It’s quite a little system you have there. Too bad you can’t get everyone to play your little game of make believe. If the truth upsets you so, maybe you should just stick to your little group, so you won’t be told the truth.
Get away from me harridan.
I would have thought something like this would be more likely to happen in California or Massachusetts than Texas.
When someone has been appointed as guardian of your person, either temporarily or permanently, you do not have the power to give consent to anything or sign your name to anything binding. It basically amounts to the same thing as you being a minor child again. I am not agreeing with what has been done, I'm simply trying to explain.
For many years I was a paralegal for an attorney who was quite often appointed as guardian of the persons and estates of incompetent folks in Texas. Most of the time these cases are done for good reason with respectable results. Doesn't sound like this couple's estate and best personal interests are being handled well at all. I wish I was still there and could look into the matter and try to get it straightened out.
