Q: My Lola's (grandma's) youngest son claims to have POA, will not allow my Lola and me to be together, Please reunite us.
POA is not Conservatorship, they are abusing POA. My Lola is my Valentine every single day, to keep us apart is cruel. When she asks for me and they don't allow me to see her, that is cruel and elder abuse. I used to be my Lola's 24/7 live-in care provider since her kids and grandkids are deadbeats and selfish. Without Lola, none of us would have a better life. My two Uncles died in 2018, they would not allow their siblings to tear family apart. Masses of bullies. My Lola and me are best friends, her surviving kids and grandkids don't care about her, her well-being, her comfort or happiness. My mom is hateful and jealous my Lola and me are super close, my mom has been destroying everything good I have done for my Lola. Please reunite my Lola and me, please defend her basic rights and humanity. Please restore justice and clear my name from smear campaign. Only person that ever hurt my Lola is my mom: verbal, physical, financial, neglect, health. Forging signatures, hiding paperwork, etc
A:
If you think she is being abused then you need to report this to Adult Protective Services in your County.
If you want to fix the problem of her being isolated from you, then you can ask for a Restraining Order for Elder Abuse. Isolating the elder from loved ones is considered abuse under the law. Your local courthouse will have a free clinic (probably) where you can go and ask the judge for an Order allowing you to see her. Every courthouse here in San Diego has such a clinic, so I bet your local courthouse will have one too (probably run by the Legal Aid Society.
