*nod* it does explain it. It's.... practical, but like a lot of other stuff, it fails in regulation.

The way I had read the article made me think tht Clay wasn't really sick, they just removed him from his home and put into a nursing home, but that would have been pretty impossible without him having been at least a bit sick. (Someone in that nursing home had to check up on him etc, they weren't ALL in on it.)

I rechecked the article after posting this and realized. That it states that Clay wasn't sick, at least at first. It also states that the court didn't approve the "power of attorney" and whomever sold their assets didn't have proper permission. Very scary thought.

It's not that the regulation isn't there. It's that the resources aren't there to enforce the regulations.

Now, while I am appalled. I do take internet "reports" like this a bit suspect. There is no way for me to "prove" that all these facts are really true. I really want to see the local newspaper's take on this. Not that I believe all "facts" in newspapers either.

Your last point: absolutely. I mean. The point where Clay was placed in a nursing home while healthy and supposedly abe to take care of himself is very strange. It could be just appalling neglect by the nursing home, or it could be somehow wrongly reported. This is why journalists need to do their jobs, and not follow Pete to see when his hair gets cut.
