A Hanover Park woman has been arrested and charged with neglecting her 81-year-old father, police said today.
Paulette Rhody, 56, of the 7000 block of Hanover Street in the western suburb, was charged with a felony count of criminal neglect of an elderly person and another one of unlawful financial exploitation of an elderly person.
The arrest was made by Mount Prospect police. Rhody's father lived there, police said.
Mount Prospect police said they began their investigation last January after being asked by Catholic Charities to conduct a well-being check. At that time, officers found the 81-year-old man "in need of medical assistance and the residence in disarray," police said in a news release.
At that time, Rhody--who police said as her father's primary caregiver--could not be located, police said. Her father was then placed under the care of the Cook County Public Guardian.
Rhody was arraigned Wedneday, and her bond was set at $50,000, police said. She is next sheduled to appear in the Rolling Meadows courthouse Jan. 20.

Editor's note: Alice R. Gore, deceased, a disabled 99 year old ward of the Probate Court of Cook County, Judge Kawamoto's courtroom was similarly mistreated while a ward of the court. Alice had massive ulcers that actually exposed her spine and was languishing in her own feces while in a "court selected nursing home". Her mentally disabled granddaughter, who the court appointed as Alice's guardian wanted to place her grandmother in a "nice hospice". Why aren't the court officers being charged with the same crime as Ms. Rhody? Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com
