It sure is! What’s truly astonishing is how remarkably similar these accounts are; the same patterns of manipulation, isolation, coercive control, and exploitation. Different families, yet so many of the same tactics. It makes you wonder just how many victims and families are suffering in silence. I’m sure there are many #ElderAbuse #ElderExploitation #CoerciveControl #ElderJustice #ProtectOurSeniors

God bless you for the work you’re doing! ❤️ This is so desperately needed. Elder exploitation destroys families, and far too many victims and their loved ones are left fighting for answers, accountability, and justice. Thank you for turning your personal experience into a mission to protect others and give victims a voice. 🙏❤️ @TheJusticeDept @GovRonDeSantis @AGJamesUthmeier @elderaffairs @MyFLFamilies — We need greater awareness, stronger protections, and meaningful accountability for elder exploitation. #ElderAbuseAwareness #ElderExploitation #ElderJustice #ProtectOurSeniors #JusticeForVictims #Florida #StopElderAbuse

I drove my mom everywhere. In her car or mine. We also depended on having two cars. Just in case. When her POA came in. During that time car broke down. Asked to borrow moms car. Denied. So I was cut off from mom. She didn't want me to see mom. She had her own car.

🚨 TONIGHT AT 7 PM EASTERN — COURTS IN CRISIS! 🚨 ⚖️ WHO HOLDS MICHIGAN’S PROBATE COURTS ACCOUNTABLE? Join Jody White and me, Cynthia Mifsud, tonight as we pull back the curtain on Michigan’s probate and appellate court systems. 💥 TONIGHT’S TOPICS: 🔴 $375 JUST TO ASK FOR JUSTICE! What happens when families spend thousands appealing probate decisions, only to have the Michigan Supreme Court decline review? 🔴 THE SUPREME COURT’S TWO RESPONSIBILITIES: Deciding cases AND overseeing Michigan’s courts. But who is holding court-appointed fiduciaries accountable? 🔴 A 14-YEAR FIGHT FOR ANSWERS: Jody shares how a probate judge assured her family they could trust a court-appointed fiduciary. Years later, hundreds of thousands of dollars were stolen by a co-trustee, yet questions about the appointed fiduciary’s responsibility remain unanswered. 🔴 DENIED REVIEW — NOW WHAT? We examine court filing fees, procedural barriers, judicial oversight, and reforms families are demanding. When the courts are responsible for protecting vulnerable people, who protects those families when the system fails them? 📅 TONIGHT — Tuesday, November 10 🕖 7 PM EASTERN 🎙️ COURTS IN CRISIS 📍 Justice For Betty Hayes 📣 X: @MifsudCynthia Join us, share your experiences, and be part of the conversation. SILENCE PROTECTS THE SYSTEM.

Excellent point. Transportation should empower older adults, not become a means of control. Reliable services can help preserve independence and keep them connected to what matters.

A "no probate" promise from an estate planner should always be received as a marketing claim, not a legal one. Probate avoidance is a real outcome from real techniques. But it is never a guarantee. The estate that runs into probate anyway often does so because a single account fell through a gap nobody audited.

🚨 MICHIGAN’S PROBATE NETWORK — LET’S CONNECT THE DOTS! PROFESSIONAL GUARDIANS, FORMER JUDGES, SHARED BUSINESS ADDRESSES, AND FAMILIES FIGHTING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY! 🔴 CHARLENE DISTLER — Founder of Probate Support Specialists, former Treasurer and Educational Committee Chair of the Michigan Guardianship Association (MGA), and probate paralegal at Switalski Law, led by retired judges Mark Switalski and Jodi Debbrecht Switalski. 🔴 TERRANCE GILSENAN — Attorney and professional guardian associated with St. Joseph Agency. Macomb County Probate Court’s August 2024 Public Guardian List identifies THREE guardianship businesses sharing the SAME ADDRESS: 📍 36333 Harper Avenue, Clinton Township ▪️ Probate Support Specialists — Charlene Distler ▪️ St. Joseph Agency — Terrance Gilsenan ▪️ Patriot Probate Agency 🔴 LINDA HALLMARK — Former Oakland County Probate Judge who served alongside Gilsenan on Michigan’s Governor’s Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT JUDY TEFFT AND TED SCARBOROUGH! I personally know Ted and attended his court proceedings. I WITNESSED TED BEING JAILED FOR CONTEMPT TWICE! The Macomb Daily documented two separate sentences: ⚖️ November 2022 — 21 days, with 18 served. ⚖️ February 2023 — Another 90 DAYS IN JAIL! According to Ted, Judy was calling him regularly because she wanted contact with him. Even Gilsenan acknowledged to the newspaper that Judy sometimes wanted contact with Ted! BUT HOW ARE A PERSON’S OWN WISHES PROTECTED ONCE THEY’RE UNDER GUARDIANSHIP? The Macomb Daily also reported that Gilsenan said Judy’s home sold for $180,000, with the proceeds intended to pay for her care. NOW FOLLOW THESE CONNECTIONS TO THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE! On April 21, 2026: 🔴 The MGA testified in SUPPORT of HB 5739 and HB 5740. 🔴 Charlene Distler, representing Probate Support Specialists, submitted a card SUPPORTING both bills. 🔵 I, CYNTHIA MIFSUD, TESTIFIED IN OPPOSITION ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER, BETTY HAYES! I WAS PROMISED A SEAT AT THE TABLE DURING GUARDIANSHIP REFORM DISCUSSIONS. THAT SEAT NEVER MATERIALIZED! My understanding is that the MGA was the only guardianship stakeholder organization consulted during the drafting process. Public testimony AFTER legislation is written is NOT the same as having a voice in developing it! After nearly five years fighting for my mother’s rights and witnessing what other families have endured, I have one question: WHO IS HOLDING THE PROFESSIONAL GUARDIANSHIP SYSTEM ACCOUNTABLE? These documented relationships do not themselves prove wrongdoing. But when someone’s freedom, property, family relationships, and life savings are at stake, transparency is essential! THE CONNECTIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. THE QUESTIONS DESERVE ANSWERS! ⚖️ JUSTICE FOR BETTY HAYES #MichiganProbate #GuardianshipReform #JudicialAccountability #FollowTheMoney #JusticeForBettyHayes

We’ve added years to life without fully rethinking what those years could look like. This Atlantic essay questions the familiar sequence of education, work, then retirement. Longer lives invite more flexible ways to learn, work, contribute, and receive support, rather than assuming everyone’s needs change at the same age.

Most families think being named executor is an honor. It isn't. The first one can't wait. Nobody hands you a list. So here's the list, in the order I wish I'd had it. 1. Find the original will. Not a copy. Ours was not where.

I formally submitted a federal Medicaid program-integrity fraud report through America.gov, designated for HHS OIG, and received confirmation number TFF-2026-488624632036. The submission includes financial records, provider information, and supporting documentation concerning New Hope Home Care and related entities. We are in possession of 8 months of documentation. Hoping for an interview and ready to cooperate and provide all information. @ScottBradyPA

Mama said there’d be days like these. Mandatory Reading Below. Much credit and appreciation to @Imogen_Cecil for this oh-so-eye-opening investigative-journalism and excellent work. CMS don’t want to audit itself despite request from @JusticeOIG. Why is this a request vs. Mandate? Where are the outside-auditors? And why is @CMSGov not interested? 🤔 @mcuban @MedicareGov @DrOz @HHSGov @ScamsCons @DrOzCMS @OIGatHHS 💵💰📵🪎🎟️🚑💸🪏🩻💉💊📈🗃️🗄️🔎🔐 @BukekileD owns and operates New Horizon Caregiving or Caregivers, New Horizon *Home Health*, New Horizon Medical Staffing (locations in Dallas, Zimbabwe, and Johannesburg) IN ADDITION TO @nhresidentcare, including her unlicensed ALF on Knollview. A Funeral Home 2 residents (victims) of hers from the same timeframe were cremated at (publicly available information) was very familiar with New Horizon and referenced a hospice operation, too. Begging the question: Does Buke own a Hospice-entity, too? Or does she merely hold herself out as a director of a hospice/physician too, enabling her to sign off on death certificates as the certifying physician? Because said spokesperson was all too familiar with Buke and Buhle’s names and their family-run business(es), it’s hard to imagine he got the hospice-thing wrong, while getting the Home-setting facilities, names, locations correct. You know? See post from way back when (circa February 2026) re: @FBIDetroit sharing indictments and/or arrests and/or sentencing involving family-owned residential care facility-owners conspiring with “healthcare professionals” and attorneys there to engage in fraud to the tune of millions. See the comment section to said post. Read them. Many dear friends and advocates share virtually identical patterns that @Intelligencer41 was very quick to spot. And these patterns had been spotted long before that post. Before David and Nick brought it to light. And thank you to both David and @nickshirleyy for bringing the massive amount of both corruption and fraud occurring across our Country to the public’s attention. Because fraud and corruption are not mutually-exclusive. They go hand-in-hand in the most sick and twisted form of a symbiotic relationship. #AskLewis #ThirdWatchKnows #ArrestBuke #Fraud #Exploitation #Kickbacks #TrueCrime #ElderAbuse #ElderJustice #WeOmitMedics #WeAreNewHorizon #NoCrimesHere #Retaliation #MaliceAforethought #ElderAbuse #ElderJustice #ThirdWatchesOutForCriminals #WeNotifyBuke #DepravedHearts #ErrbodyJustDoingTheirJob #FailureToReport #TiesThatBind #FalseReports #FamilyOwnedAndOperated #FalseImprisonment #SoDumbVilla #UsualSuspects #ElderLivesMatter #BukeSaysYourStalkingHer #CoverUps #Lies #Deceit #LetsKeepItVillaReal #BallzMahoney @NAPPJustice @ProtectParents @melisandrePro @zakkpatrick1 @ThinkingInCases @TxDPS @amilynne87 @GrammaBear_ATX @cost_of_bums @hopeXmeta @johnnyk20001 @JustM0MMA @AZDCSWarriors @Shannonagain2 @qaggnews @PredBust @Voices4Seniors @IVote13 @cynic @AZshimSham @austintexaslisa @endseclusion @DallasPD @TrueTexasTea @ErinTawney @NationalBunco @CityOfDallas @VetAffairsOIG @DavidSFOX4 @caraathome @HHSRegion6 @TrueCrimePod @APStylebook @NDTXnews @USAttyRaybould

"Home care" has quickly become the *most common job in blue states*. This video shows why: Because people are billing Medicaid $80k+ a year for work that they aren't actually doing. Watch this refugee pull into a driveway for 2 minutes each day to trick the GPS anti-fraud system:

Accurate information and info-graphic created by a true advocate through diligent and thorough research. The scary part is how those exploiting our aging loved-ones have become such experts at doing so that it can be happening without you realizing it is happening. Thank you @ProtectParents. The benefit of hindsight and “Hindsight is 20/20” ring true here. Your work is outstanding. Whenever anyone *Especially from Outside the nuclear Family* has a monetary interest at stake tries to or does in-fact exercise influence over one’s care should automatic trigger a deeper-dive from the family. This is *Especially* True when the outside-influencer had no previous encounters or knowledge of your relative before they’ve injected their influence. I guarantee my Dad would have NEVER wanted and in-fact explicitly asserted WHO he wanted to make decisions for him in the event he became unable. @BukekileD just decided what SHE wanted. Despite legal documents in existence that explicitly conveyed his intentions. And nothing would have involved living with complete strangers from Zimbabwe that never spoke English and kept him both physically and chemically restrained. And he conveyed his understanding of what he and we had been through before taking his last breath. He told me what you did, @BukekileD. I promised him you would not get away with it. And I’m a girl that is true to her word. That’s just the kind of daughter he raised.

You are correct. CMS just made some temporary changes to curb the number of hospice flippings. There are many pieces to this problem.

Follow this train. Buke > Tyson > Alliance HomeHealth. Tyson is @BukekileD’s in house-doc. He has ties to Alliance HomeHealth. Owner of Alliance HomeHealth is from Kenya. Nothing available re: owner’s work history, education, credentials. She’s listed as Principal of ‘Kelele’ without any description of what this entity is. See previously uploaded scripts written by Tyson omitting DPS number, Knollview Address, and Pharmacy address. Names redacted out of respect. The one dated 2/2021 = for neurologist referral was for my Dad. My Dad’s actual neurologist was listed in the admissions paperwork. Just like his trusted PCP of 15+ years was Listed. He didn’t need a neurologist referral. He HAD one. Like he HAD a PCP before @BukekileD changed to Tyson. Because without Tyson who would refer to Alliance Home Health, who billed $2,500/mo for PT (allegedly AT Knollview) which my Dad most certainly did not receive. He could barely walk after entering Buke’s Hell Hole. She kept him physically restrained (bedrails) and chemically restrained (sedatives). And my Dad walked all the time. He was known on the street that the house that he and my Mom owned for 40 years was on as the one that would “walk while reading his newspaper.” The same house that @dallascitycode and @dtxsanitation attached a lien to without notifying my Mom in 2026 after we recorded sanitation skipping over the bulk (intentionally). I called the city. Recorded said call. They sent sanitation back out after issuing a citation. To do what was right, we thought. Given I called and informed that I had called previously and had recordings of both the skip over and the call notifying about it. Instead, sanitation picked it up without any indication that they had done so as a “nuisance abatement” and labeling as such, a lien attached. No knowledge. No notice. They didn’t know she had sold it. @DallasPD SoDumbVilla and Cortina began unsolicitedly asking “If i had a new address I wanted to provide.” Because they weren’t obvious enough and they’re so unbelievably intelligent and NOT corrupt. Wonder how many homes @CityOfDallas has stolen from vulnerable senior-citizen homeowners either for themselves or @BukekileD. Oh. And Billy Chemirmir also from Kenya. And it all links back to @DallasPD. @TCOLE @NationalBunco @HSI_Dallas @FBIDallas @USMarshalsHQ @USMS_Dallas @DOJCrimDiv @NDTXnews @USAttyRaybould @TrueTexasTea @ThinkingInCases @NAPPJustice @ProtectParents @melisandrePro @endseclusion @OCCRP @NationalBunco @SBAOIG @JusticeOIG @dallasculture @caraathome @ChiefComeauxDPD @Voices4Seniors @TexasScorecard @amilynne87 @StopTheCorrupt @criminalminds @DOJNatSec @USLaborIG @DHSOIG @CityOfDallasBMS @Homicide_One @TrueCrimePod @AmericanCrime01 @criminalminds @rdreeke @hopeXmeta @PredBust @qaggnews @FOX4 @DavidSFOX4

@grok Please kindly provide us with information pertaining to Alliance Home Health in the DFW area, including owner, DBA, SOS filing info, EIN, Taxonomy Code, NPI, CMS Data, number of employees, and any ownership ties/affiliations to other elder-care industries or other pertinent information. Please also provide any links directly or indirectly to Dr. Samuel Tyson, Bukekile Dube, New Horizon, Buhle Dube. @grok, if you can’t find any links, please know documentation exists naming a resident that was at @nhresidentcare where Tyson (chosen and appointed by Buke) referred said resident, and likely all residents given Buke changed all residents’ doctors to Tyson, to Alliance Home Health, where Alliance Home Health fraudulently billed @MedicareGov using beneficiaries’ account numbers for services never rendered while said resident was at @BukekileD unlicensed Hell Home on Knollview. Billed for Physical Therapy sessions 3 x Week while in-fact, Buke Dube kept resident physically and chemically restrained, denied him of medical attention and family visitation. All before Buke Dube retaliated against him and us, after @DallasPD notified her about welfare call. You know how Sandra Birchmore’s friend thought she was doing the right thing by notifying Dispatcher about Matthew Farwell’s sexual encounters with Sandra while he was on the clock and said-dispatcher notified the perpetrator (Farwell) and Sandra wound up dead? Like that. Just Like. That. Turner. Torres. Thomas. Webb. Graves. Carr. Black. Beard. Lewis. Sodumbvilla. Cortina. Lieutenant Izahery, and Co. working North Central @DallasPD Third’s Watch. Same substation and Watch that responded so lackadaisically to multiple consecutive untimely deaths dismissing victims’ relatives’ concerns at Edgemere, Tradition, Warm Breeze. All victims in @dallascounty in North Central’s Beat. Like 3 of @BukekileD fraudulently represented as licensed ALFs, including one directly adjacent to your substation. But ya’ll let her open her 4th in NorthWest’s patrol in 2025 while ya’ll got to add cowboy hats to your costumes. Because some of ya’ll still feel the need to overcompensate for something. So ya’ll wear your boots and cowboy hats to prove whose is bigger. While a 27 year DPD senior corporal (former) and DPA prez still needs an alter-ego —Ballz Mahoney. We are getting punked, correct? Ya’ll just be Mike King’ing us, right? You can’t seriously expect us to believe these are real cops? Right? @TCOLE @TxDPS @FBI

Meet Irene Prather, director of @VITAS and sole certifying physician on my Dad’s death certificate. No Medical Examiner. No address provided where he died. Prather had prescribed meds while he was alive. Clearly not an impartial physician for this matter. Also see her texts. She didn’t even review the records from hospital before adamantly refusing to change cause of death from natural while failing to list Sepsis as contributing factors/conditions immediately preceding his death. @bukekiled’s friends. Get this to an impartial @dallascounty ME @dallaspd. You also conveniently failed to respond to his unattended death on Stone Canyon Road — North Central Third’s Watch given the location and timing. @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWInternalMed @DallasCMS @DCHHS @DallasCountyHe1 @DallasCoNews @DallasCountyDAO @harvardmed @BukekileD @nhresidentcare @ScamsCons @bunco @TexasHHSC @texashealth @DallasCountyTx @CityOfDallas @caraathome @cdsheetrs @NAPPJustice @ProtectParents @melisandrePro @zakkpatrick1 @ThinkingInCases @Voices4Seniors @TrueCrimePod @amilynne87 @TexasScorecard @TrueTexasTea @Johnson4Dallas @MQSullivan @FOX4 @caraathome @DavidSFOX4 @rdreeke @defense_diaries @TheChauffeurX @hopeXmeta @cbs11jeffrey @dallas_observer @LoriBrownFox4 #ThirdWatchKnows #Kickbacks #CoverUps #ArrestBuke #MaliceAforethought #Fraud #DepravedHearts #ConflictsOfInterest #ElderAbuse #Exploitation #ElderJustice

Guardianship advocates... My people. You know this statement by @CriticaDarling is true. Many of you had family members, attorneys, judges, and guardians in your cases who meet all three. There is a fourth in our cases, too. 4. Greedy. It's the first one, and the fact that we are advocating, that allows us to finally win and save our loved ones, pro se. It's the rest that makes that fight last years and take everything from us and makes us advocates.

When I first started working for lawyers in the early 90s, my mentor said, “Client intake will fall into one of three categories: is the client 1) dumb, 2) evil or 3) batshit crazy. If we only get one of the three, we’re lucky.” Thirty years later, I haven’t forgotten.
