I am very concern about the Elderly in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. I have seen the way the elderly get treated in those places. These people have worked all their lives and when they are send to these places, they are treated badly. The directors of these facilities have offices like GOLD, but when it comes to the pacients rooms, well it is sad to see. Bathroom are nasty, bedroom are smelly, sheets are not changed, they are not bathe and the food is NASTY!! We need good investigators and we need to speak out loud for them. Medicare is taking so much money from these people and they are not being treated the way they should be. These places are sometimes there last place before they die. So why they can not die happy, clean, full?

Children are very important to me, especially when I had fought ACS in New York to get my sisters grand-children out of foster care. ACS love to keep children in the system because of money. The more children they have the more money they get. The caseworkers are awful. They do not know what they are doing and when you call them, they do not call back. Parents whoms children are taken away without fault, do not get their children back, BUT bad parents who abuses their children, they get them back then kill them. ACS need good, well trained people who are passionate of what they do, to help people and children. To give parents classes on parenting. Also to give in-services on caseworkers and supervisors.
