I need help Tuscarawas county is corrupt
Judge Lake or Magistrate Worth? We recently freed a victim there with attorney Matthew Mullen in New Philadelphia.
Now, for the first time, we have a *federal* law making abuse of the elderly a crime. This is terrific work and much thanks are due to Rick Black and Sam Sugar of AAAPG for giving victims a tool they can use to combat rampant abuses of guardianship in any state. Thank you!
