Judges: Operational Details Unveiled

by Janet Phelan as published in the *Bernandino County Sentinel

Several years ago, all of the county’s probate and conservatorship cases were moved to Redlands Courthouse and most of these cases were subsequently heard by Judge Welch.

Recent documents obtained by the Sentinel point to suspicious financial activity by Welch, who at one point in time was the presiding judge of San Bernardino County. Welch was featured in an article in the Sentinel on June 12th of this year in a lengthy exposé regarding questionable business practices by Melodie Z. Scott, a professional fiduciary and conservator for the elderly. Scott is President of C.A.R.E., Inc., located at 25 E. State Street in Redlands, right around the corner from the courthouse.

The activities by Scott cited by the Sentinel as questionable involved giving conservatee property to her own family members, overcharges on her clients’ accounts, missing monies from clients’ accounts, selling conservatee property at bargain basement rates only to have the property jump in value and sell the next year, withholding medical care from conservatees resulting in death and allegations of possible undue influence on judges.

The documents uncovered relating to Judge Welch reveal that he has mortgaged his primary residence, located in the 300 block of La Colina in Redlands several times in recent years, encumbering it with loans which could not possibly be paid back on a judge’s salary in the brief turn-around time indicated by the reconveyances (repayment of loans). The document numbers and the size of the loans follow:

In 1998, Welch and his wife, Ginny, took out a loan for $217,200 on their La Colina residence, which was fully paid back in March of 2003. The reconveyance document number attached to this transaction is 2003-0173087.

In February of 2003, James and Ginny Welch took out another loan on their residence, this time for $234,000. This was fully paid back by June 10, 2004, as listed in document number 2004-0410928.

Another loan was taken out by the Welches on May 17, 2004, as listed in document #2004-0353533. This loan was for $358,965.71.

Messages were left with Welch’s secretary, inquiring as to where the money was going and how he was paying these loans back. The possibility that Welch was taking out loans and investing the money, then paying back the loans with the proceeds was considered and discarded. For the last seven years, Welch has reported to the Fair Political Practices Commission on his form 700 financial disclosure statements that he has no investments.

A query was also left with Judge Welch’s secretary as to three property transactions recorded in neighboring Riverside County, attributed to a “James Michael Welch, Trustee.”

Judge Welch has declined to comment. Presiding judge Jim McGuire issued a terse letter on August 12th, 2009, in response to an inquiry from the Sentinel about the Welch loans and Riverside County transactions. McGuire stated:“Please be advised that I have received and reviewed your letter of August 11, 2009. Please be further advised that I am an administrative presiding judge and, therefore, my review jurisdiction is limited. Nothing contained in your letter is of a nature over which I would have review jurisdiction. Any request for review or investigation by me is, therefore, denied.”

There has been no confirmation or denial from the court as to whether Welch’s exodus from his probate assignment in Redlands had any bearing on the recent media scrutiny given his actions as a judge or his apparent bias towards cases involving Melodie Scott, who recently launched a legal protest concerning the denial of her fiduciary license by the California Professional Fiduciary Bureau.

This practice of judges taking out large loans appears to be widespread and crosses county boundaries. Information gathered on Commissioner John McCoy and Judge Sharon Waters (both of Riverside County) has recently been turned over to a Riverside County district attorney investigator, Jeff Chebahtah. While Chebahtah has acknowledged receipt of the information on the Waters and McCoy loans, he has at press time refused to assign a complaint/case file number. The practice of accepting evidence and refusing to assign a tracking number has been previously explored by this reporter in an article entitled: “How the California Justice System covers up crimes against the elderly: A method to themadness” and appears to be deployed when either the matter is too trivial for the district attorney to take seriously or when there is a political agenda to keep the report out of the system and thus not to investigate at all.

Parenthetically, both McCoy and Waters were recently and consecutively removed from an active case in Riverside Superior Court, following a protest lodged that the loans smacked of pay-offs or bribes.

In San Bernardino County, Judge Steve Mapes ascended to the bench in 2007 and currently sits on Barstow court, following his tenure as an deputy district attorney in San Bernardino. Mapes has also been involved in the loan program, apparently going back to 1998, when he took out a loan on his home on Patricia Drive for over $155, 000. He subsequently took out further loans on his property, including loans for $100,000 in 2001 and 2002, another loan for $307,500, also in 2001, one for $88,500 in 2002 and a loan in 2004 which was in excess of the value of the house, recorded at the tax assessor’s office as $427,528. This loan was taken out for a resounding $493,000.

More recently, in 2006, he again borrowed money against his property. Since 2001, Judge Steven Mapes has received seven different reconveyances on his loans.

*Page 1 of this week's Sentinel features a story on several members of the California judiciary who are taking out numerous large property loans and paying them back in record time. There are unanswered questions as to the reason for these loans: where is the money going and --most importantly-- who is paying these loans off? This is the first in a series of articles examining the finances of the California judiciary and other public officials.

Some Attorneys Find Elder's Estates Irresistable!

By Matt Zapotosky

Washington Post Staff Writer

A prominent La Plata lawyer was charged Wednesday with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from an estate he was appointed to handle, and investigators are exploring the possibility he might have taken money from several other clients.

Frank P. Jenkins, 44, was charged with one count of theft over $500, according to online court records. Police did not immediately release all the details of Jenkins’s alleged scheme, but said he took hundreds of thousands of dollars from a woman who thought the money was being set aside in a trust as part of an estate settlement.

Jenkins apparently withdrew money from the trust himself, police said, though investigators are still probing what he did with it.

A woman who answered the phone at a number listed in Jenkins’ name hung up Wednesday evening after a reporter identified himself. Online court records show Jenkins handled a wide variety of cases ranging from divorces to contract disputes to criminal indictments.

Woman Found Dead, Daughter Arrested For Elder Abuse

By BakersfieldNow.com Staff

Bakersfield, CA--Darlene Blair was found dead on her living me floor around noon on Friday. Her daughter, Dana Blair was arrested for elder abuse.

The Kern County Sheriffs Department says they were called to the home at 1111 Dawn way in South Bakersfield after receiving a call from a medical unit that had been dispatched to the home for the death.

While medical crews were at the home a verbal argument broke out and they called deputies to assist.

Neighbors say they have called 911 numerous times and have witnessed Dana abusing her mother, "It all was bad, the black eyes, the bloody lips, the bruised ribs, everything, it was bad" said Jean Hodge, Blair's next door neighbor.

Hodge claims that on Thursday night she witnessed Dana push her mother off the front step. Hodge went over to assist with the injuries and says Darlene looked like she "had been in a car accident."

Deputies were called to the home for that incident but according to Hodge Darlene refused treatment and help so they left.

"Its the elderly not wanting to speak against their loved ones, they love them, and it was her daughter, I mean what are you going to do," said Hodge.

The Sheriffs department does not know if the alleged abuse had anything to do with the death. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday to determine the actual cause.

Orwellian Tactics To Put an End to Elders Rights in Florida

Reposted from 8-21-09

Carol Kinnear, second from left, flanked by daughters Kellee Watt, left, and Kathy Howland, with grandson Matt Howland.

Drew Harwell, Times Staff Writer hat tip EstateOfDenial.Com
Original=>>tampabay.com

Her wish was clear: For the rest of her life, regardless of her health, she wanted to stay home.

CLEARWATER — Carol Kinnear, a retired Belleair Elementary teacher in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, signed an update to her trust in June 2008.

She had lived there for more than 30 years, crossing the road to Clearwater Beach and reading Mary Higgins Clark mysteries on the wraparound porch. As long as she could afford the at-home care, she decided, she would stay and watch the sunset.

The trust provision, her daughters thought, would assure she could do that.

On Monday, Kinnear, 78, was taken from home and moved to an unnamed facility, the act of a court-appointed guardian. She would be treated there for “high anxiety and confusion,” the guardian wrote in an e-mail. Her children, blocked from contact, were told it was in their mother’s best interest.

Earlier this year, to safeguard their mother’s estate after money had come up missing, they had filed for guardianship in a Pinellas court.

Now they find themselves the victims of unintended consequences, guarded against by the person they had sought for help.

“My mother has means. She doesn’t need to be in a secret home,” said daughter Kathy Howland, 50, of Largo. “She set this up long ago to make sure this wouldn’t happen.”

Local attorneys, however, say the guardian has done nothing wrong. When Kinnear was deemed “incapacitated” in April, court records show, her rights to decide medical treatment, residence and “social environment” were transferred to the guardian.

“The guardian’s determination trumps whatever language was in a previous trust,” said Richard L. Pearse Jr., a Clearwater guardianship lawyer. “The home environment is not always the best suited to provide a high level of care, even if the money is there.”

Trusts cover the delegation of assets but not personal wellbeing, said Elizabeth Wall, a St. Petersburg attorney representing Kinnear’s guardian, Teri St. Hilaire. The documents are too unrestricted and inflexible to establish sound health decisions.

“A guardian is obligated to attempt to comply with a person’s wishes,” Wall said. “But you can’t anticipate the future. …

If following their wishes puts them at risk, then you have to do something different.”

Among some of the county’s 3,000 open guardianships, Kinnear’s situation is a common conflict. Irene Rausch, a former president of the Florida State Guardianship Association, said guardians and families often differ on what would be best for the ward.

“It’s kind of difficult when a professional guardian is appointed because family members say, ‘Who are you? I’m a family member. I’m entitled,’ ” Rausch said. “People are very fearful of guardianship. They try to avoid it.”

Kinnear’s daughters had thought it could help. A guardian would have the power to manage her health care and assets, including the beach home once appraised at $1.8 million.

Problems, they said, began soon after.

Kinnear’s first guardian, Sandra Scott, caused her to fall after giving too high a dose of medication, said Kellee Watt, 45, of Indian Rocks Beach.

St. Hilaire, who replaced Scott on July 1, didn’t return phone calls and e-mails from the daughters.

Requests for different aides after Kinnear complained of verbal abuse were ignored. The move on Monday was based on a doctor’s recommendation, St. Hilaire wrote in her e-mail, but neither Kinnear’s longtime physician nor her neurologist were consulted, Watt said.

Neither Scott nor St. Hilaire responded to messages this week from the St. Petersburg Times.

The statutes don’t clearly define how involved guardians must keep the family. Average caseloads of 40 to 50 wards, Rausch said, can make it tough for guardians to keep up.

The daughters have recourse to assess the guardian’s methods — filing for a court monitor. But that means more paperwork,

procedure and time while their mother waits away from home.

“What is concerning to me is the structure and lack of oversight for guardians,” Watt said. “They’re essentially without a boss.”

“The guardian’s determination trumps whatever language was in a previous trust,” Save your money, Trusts,Power of Attoneys, Surrogate Health Care Documents,
are all worthless they are " too unrestricted and inflexible to establish sound health decisions."

As has been my personal experience in my opinion these documents are a joke they do not hold up in court unless it benefits the guardian and or their attorneys who customarily charge upwards of $400 per hour up until the elder's assets are depleted to do tasks that family members here to performed out of love.

Furthermore do not be shocked or surprised when family members are demonized and for the elder's own good are blocked from contact from the elder as this is standard operating procedure in these cases, however they are kept separate and the media does NOT report on this blatant violations of civil rights since elders are not highly valued, an elders loss of contact with his children/grandchildren/loved ones and the subsequent draw down of the elders wealth, (Asset Consfiscation) (IRA)Involuntary Redistribution Assets is considered no big deal , as this only affects elderly people.....

Starvation and Dehydration ;Florida Please Get Tough On Elder Abuse! They Deserve Better..

By Missy Diaz South Florida Sun-Sentinel

WEST PALM BEACH - Living in a hot room and being deprived of fluids -- not Alzheimer's disease -- killed 89-year-old Elly Lorey, a geriatric psychiatrist testified Wednesday at the first-degree murder and elder-abuse trial of Lorey's caregivers, her daughter and son-in-law Kerstin and Toby Fenn.

According to the state's case, Lorey lived like a prisoner in the master bedroom of the Woodchuck Court home in the Cimarron neighborhood, west of Boca Raton. While her daughter and son-in-law went to work, Lorey passed the days in the barren, isolated, locked room where the air conditioning vent had been nailed closed with a pizza box top.

Lorey's eating and smearing feces, and her clawing at the walls and eating the drywall were indicative of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, Rabins testified. But they probably were exacerbated by the anxiety she likely felt by the dearth of human contact, he said.

When Lorey died in September 2005 she weighed 80 pounds. The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner determined the cause of her death was starvation and dehydration.

These stories of elder abuse break my heart , the first reaction is always disbelief, How could a son or a daughter allow this to happen ? This is similar to what happened in my family with the exception that in my case where caring and watchful family members were able intervene in time at an elevated cost in legal fees in the hundred's of thousands of dollars , and the agencies who were in place to protect the elders, when notified in time to be able to make a difference the Florida DCF, just passed the ball to the civil courts.

This seems to be the the Modus Operandis, just pass the ball..and this, is the end result.

Clara "Remenbers", has Nervous Reaction.- 'A Statement'

This morning, as I find myself away on business and away from my mother Clara G. Fernandez in the country where we took refuge from the Florida DCF and the agencies that are funded with our tax dollars to help our elderly,but who instead seemed to be working for the 'other side' and who failed miserably to protect Clara from being kidnapped and subsequently abused, exploited, and left faced down in a hotel room, drugged ,exploited and injured , never to walk again under her own power.

These agencies and public servants who lacked the intelligence or the resolve, mostly because they seemed to be in the "BAG" for the attorneys who were making the 'Big Bucks' to tell the 'bad guys from the good guys' and those same agencies that failed to protect my late father's life Dr. A.J. Fernandez or to protect Clara G. Fernandez from certain horrors that no one should ever have to experience in any so called 'civilized society'.

After all this web site is about Abuse and is about Clara so as I attempt to document the most horrendous crimes to our elders,crimes that involves , torture,willful negligence, exploitation, crimes to which state agencies seem to place 'special interests' above human interests.

I have Written Congressmen and Senators, What Else Can I Do?

Dear Ray;

I live in Florida too, and have just recently gone through this shocking system. My companion of eleven years was taken to court by two greedy nieces who came in from out of town. My friend was taken to court this Summer , never to return home again. The locks were changed on his house and he was placed in a grungy "retirement home." It has been a nightmare! A guardian was given control of his medical and his finances. I am still the trustee, but the nieces are now fighting that! These are the same nieces that my elderly friend didn't even speak to for the past four years because they were wanting their mother, his sister, to change her will to leave more to them.

Do you know of anything more in Florida I can do?

I have already written to the congressmen and senators.

Author's name withheld upon request.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I wrote about what is happening to our elders many still can't believe, and wrote to me, folks I am not making this stuff up, I wish I was this is really happening, right here in America....

People are afraid to speak up because of retribution, I know I been there, I was afraid to speak up during the time my mother was in a g'ship because these people have the power of life or death over your parents and if you piss them off they just might prohibit you from EVER seeing them ever again!

People are desperate for help, Congressmen turn a blind eye , politicians don't want to talk about it, elderly hardworking,law abiding, decent Americans write to me and ask ....

Do you know anything more I can do?

And they are AFRAID (as in terror) that their names be made public ! What does that tell you about a system that preys on the elderly and then uses fear to keep elderly members of the silent majority from letting the rest of you find out about what's is actually happening to our elderly population?

"The system. Its totally messed up"

"The system. Its totally messed up. Lawyers charge too much, lawyers don't want these cases, judges don't want to see them either. People avoid the topic because its nasty. The evidence never truly GETS looked at.The system avoids the prosecution. The laws are wrong. The competency-incompetency crap has to GO. The criminals are never truly punished. Agencies DO truly need more education and lawyers do too". Cindy

Elders Kept in Concentration Camp Conditions in the USA*

Many of you are in EstateOfDenial of the constant barrage of news of Elders whose lifetime of sacrifice,savings,home,are confiscated then are sent off to what channel 7 ABC News describes as prison camp conditions in this report =>>here then the report goes on to say that elders in the camp are made to forced to "go to the bathroom in buckets." reminiscence of reports from camps in Nazi Germany?

Only a handful of these cases make it to the prime time media, then you have the usual hand wringing of politicans who plead ignorance and make statements like Senator Jane Nelson who says, “I could not believe that what I was seeing was taking place in this country,” said the Senator from Texas.

The Senator,Congressmen,Judges,and the vast 'silent majority' might not want to believe that this is happening in the USA but guess what Senator! It's time to start believing because there are too many of us who have lived the forced incarcerations, the degradation,the confiscation of even social security income that the elders depend on for their very survival (documented) .

“I just can’t imagine how this can happen. It is so degrading,” said Senator Jane Nelson of Michael and Jean Kidd's forced incarceration,isolation and confiscation and planned sale of their home, well senators, friends, You better start 'Imagining' and you better start 'Believing' because this is far too real and too horrifying to turn our head the other way and pretend it isn't happening.

*I say concentration camp conditions because 'prison camp' conditions is not accurate and is attempt to whitewash the crimes being committed against our elder population by our subservient MSN media . I say this because in prison camp conditions prisoners are NOT forced to go in buckets but have bathrooms, prisoners are given the benefit of legal help, our elders are not, prisoners are not chemically restrained, our elders are, prisoners are not isolated from their families, Our elder are.

**I might add that investigators only do something about this problem when widely reported in the mainstream media, for the vast majority of Elders Americans caught in the snare don't have access to the mainstream media, the confiscation,the forced isolation,the degradation,the agony goes on unabated.

For Every Victim Reported There Are Many That You Don't Hear About

By Michael Owens Reporter / Bristol Herald Courier
Published: September 6, 2009

BRISTOL, Va. – Kim Clabo’s mother-in-law entered the National Healthcare Bristol nursing home in 2003 with a penchant for autobiographies on tape. She gushed about movie stars and strong women, and fondly recalled her ball dancing days.A year later, the woman whose family considered a great conversationalist was gone.

.....the NHC nursing staff kept the woman sedated with anti-psychotic drugs, prescribed to keep her quiet.......

..Now that a former nursing aide who cared for Clabo’s mother-in-law has been arrested on charges of sexual abuse, Clabo wonders if they got it all wrong.

Was her mother-in-law a casualty of old age, or a silent crime victim?
“She never told me that she had been abused,” Clabo said. “But she would never have told me something like that.”

“Me and my family are experiencing emotions that we can’t explain.”

Yes I know, You didn't believe this could happen in 'your family' to your 'mother' who did not complain perhaps she did not want to worry you or perhaps she was too drugged out of her wits, she was given drugs to keep her quiet while she was being (allegedly)physically and emotionally raped.You did not think this could happen because you 'trusted'.
We all trusted, Welcome to the wonderful world of Disney. We all been there, not just our parents but we all have been raped.
