Elected Officials - People with Dementia are not Dead

Make strict laws to protect people with dementia and their personal property.

Why is this important?

My mother has dementia, and the current laws are not protecting her civil right to Due Process. Judge Daneeka Cotton in the State of Maryland appointed a Guardian of Property and a Guardian of Person without allowing her the opportunity to testify on her own behalf. The Guardian of Property is now trying to sell all of her personal property, and the Guardian of Person, Prince Georges County Department of Aging, has confined her to a nursing home like a prisoner. My mother is not even afforded the opportunity to receive her mail.
