If the attached order had been entered by North Korean court the civil libertarians would have screamed

Attorney General Holder and Senator Kirk

 

If the attached order had been entered by North Korean court the civil libertarians would have screamed, yelled and torn their hair out by the roots crying how could anyone be so inhumane or unkind.   After four years of having to deal with being isolated from her family, her friends, her church, her garden club and being held as a captive by a Court that lacks jurisdiction as the due process notices (and even the required service on her0 was ignored, the miscreants by this order are able to thwart contact by family and friends once again.   read the section of this order that requires a family member - such as one of the two 80 years old sisters to obtain WRITTEN PERMISSION of the guardian to visit.  

 

As you are aware this afternoon I filed with the Supreme Court of Illinois a petition for a supervisory order that is intended to obtain from the Supreme Court of Illinois a ruling that 755 ILCS 5/11a - 10 which it has stated is jurisdictional cannot be avoided by obfuscation     The Court was very specific in its previous rulings and unless the Sykes case takes on a unique scenario the Court has to determine that due process requires full protection of the law and guardianship is not a death sentence and the forfeiture of all property and liberty rights.    Read the order attached!    No only is the case of Near vs. Minnesota ignored, but Buck vs. Bell is lionized.   Mary Sykes has had by order of Court a sentence imposed upon her in which she is prisoner in solitary confinement at the whim and caprice of a daughter with a history.   

 

The petition that Mary Sykes filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County - never heard, though consolidated with the probate matter - details serious misconduct on the part of the plenary guardian prior to her appointment.   Family members report that the plenary guardian on her own found her mother's money before Mary Sykes lost it.   A safety deposit box in the name of Gloria Sykes and Mary Sykes containing according to family and friends a substantial number of gold coins was drilled, the contents removed and not a coin was inventoried.   (I wonder if income taxes were paid).   It has been further reported that Mary had to be brought to the emergency room a number of times, and last week when Mary was located in a nursing home - and not under the guardian's thumb - the daughter (younger) and three friends visited with her.   They had a very nice visit and Mary not only recognized her friends and her younger daughter but clung to them like a babe.    

 

The June 25 order appears to try to derail another incident in which Mary gains a temporary visit.   Interestingly I received two telephone calls this afternoon.   Mr. Adam Stern is reported to have contacted both of Mary's sisters and informed them in words and phrases if they will not co-operate with me in bringing this matter to the Illinois Supreme Court he will personally supervise a visitation with Mary.   As the facts are the facts I already have had the co operation of both of Mary's sisters who needed to be served with prior notice in order to vest the court with jurisdiction; however, the temerity of Mr. Stern is monumental but consistent with the June 25, 2013 order.   A short while later  (this evening) - GAL Cynthia Farenga called to call my attention that they think that they turned one of the two complaining siblings of Mary Sykes into an ally!   Ms. Farenga's e-mail to me confirms that we have hit the 'mother lode.'   Violation of Civil Rights of a senior citizen is a serious matter.  4 years of continuous violation of Mary Sykes and Gloria Sykes civil rights should warrant serious consequences.    The non-inventory of a million dollars in gold coins and other valuables is a taxable event.   If the gain is not reported on the appropriate income tax returns this is another serious event.   No wonder Ms. Farenga felt compelled to e-mail me and Mr. Stern allegedly tried to proposition Mary's two sisters.

 

Please read the order and share it with the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department, the Illinois Attorney General and the Congressional committees concerned with the rights of senior citizens.   When the transcript of proceedings is available it will be posted on line.   It will reveal that the judge who signed this order on at least three occasions indicated that the plenary guardian had commingled funds!    With two guardian ad litem in this estate for four years, both guardians attending almost monthly court status and motions the specter paints a very interesting picture.    With the plenary guardian retired, and her husband one of the chronically unemployed for many years the expenditures reported to have been spent (by citizens) appears to be far in excess of possible earnings.    The two guardian ad litem are fierce in their defense of the plenary guardian even denying accusation that the plenary guardian has admitted to or does not deny.

 

Yet to visit with Mary Sykes either a sibling or a child (now a senior adult) has to give supplication to the plenary guardian or forfeit the right to complain concern Mary Sykes' liberty and property rights. 

 

Democracy is not a spectator sport!   It is a short distance for us to travel to reach a North Korean style of justice.
