Robbed & Silenced: Where Is Aunt Lillie?
Since 2012, Lillie has been caught in the Florida Elder Guardianship system and is being robbed and silenced through the very system set up to protect her.

It's time to reform the Elder Guardianship System in the U.S., prosecute predators and hold legal agents--judges, attorneys, evaluators, professional guardians-- to a higher standard.
