La Faye S. Lynch, widow of Lt. Col. Leonard P. Lynch, is a virtual prisoner, a slave, in a Montgomery, Alabama nursing home. She has been financially raped and robbed by a broken elder care system which consists of corrupt lawyers, judges and a for-profit nursing home! What would she say if she could speak for herself? There are those who object to my speaking for my dear mother, La Fays S. Lynch, who has been made a ward of the state of Alabama. They have essentially imprisoned my dear mother and dishonored her, disregarding and disrespecting her expressed wishes. She was found to have dementia in Nov., 2003, her privacy been violated and her son, Larry Lynch, having been kidnapped by Carl Gregory Lynch and Sharon L. Crenson, in a forceful abduction, done for the purpose of gaining power and control over Larry so that they could profit from his benefits and otherwise. I have no problem telling everyone what my dear mother would say about this; she would say it was like stabbing her in the heart with a knife! This was an act akin to murdering my dear mother! My mother told me on several occasions that she did not want my eldest brother, Carl Gregory Lynch, or his wife, Patricia, to have anything to do with Larry's care should she become disabled and/or incapacitated; yet now these people are Larry's court appointed guardian/conservator in Colorado! This is an outrageous miscarriage of justice and an insult to my dear mother! It is utterly insane any court would appoint Greg to be guardian over Larry! My dear mother gave me a Durable Power of Attorney in 1995 and I served as Larry's health care proxy since 1995. On numerous occasions I made sound, responsible and life-saving decisions with respect to the health, care and welfare of both my dear mother and Larry. But none of this was taken into consideration by those who acted to take power and control over my dear mother after she was diagnosed to have dementia. Rather, everyone acted selfishly, motivated by greed and seeking money! What would my dear mother say about this? She would say, SHAME ON YOU! And curse those who had so raped and ravished her life! Since my dear mother has been locked away behind electronic doors and iron gates and cannot speak her mind, since she has suffered brain damage and deterioration of her right mind, I will speak for her. This is justified as I know my dear mother quite well. I know what she wanted and what she desired. So I know what she would say if she could say it; she would curse those who have acted to so rape and ravish her life! She would curse the judge, Reese McKinney, Jr., who made her a ward of the state of Alabama. She would curse the court appointed lawyers, LuAnn Long and Ed Parish, who filed a law suit against me in her name, for my home. She would curse Greg and Sharon for acting to kidnap Larry and take him to Colorado, an act which was done out of greed and may have endangered Larry's health and life. She would curse those who aided and abetted this crime and the lawyer, Kathryn Dickey, who defended Greg and Sharon and who assisted Greg in his actions to have him made executor of her estate and declare himself her attorney in fact after she was hospitalized and placed in a nursing home. She would curse the courts, lawyers and judges in Colorado for foolishly appointing Greg and his wife as Larry's guardian/conservator. She would curse all who have ignored her expressed wishes and desires and have instead acted in their own self interest motivated by greed and money! It is not hard to know what my dear mother would say and why she would say it. You see, my eldest brother, Carl Gregory Lynch, beat, battered and bullied all his siblings since the day we were born. This is NOT someone my dear mother would want to have anything to do with the care of herself or her son, Larry. No one in their right mind would appoint a child abuser, a bully, to be guardian/conservator. No one in their right mind would appoint a child abuser, a bully, to be their attorney in fact or executor of their estate! Yet this very person, my eldest brother, acted to bully my dear mother and do exactly the opposite of what she desired. Why he even tried to have me put away on trumped up charges that I was insane! That is proof positive that Greg remains a bully and has acted against my dear mother's wishes and desires. The fact that the courts would even hear or recognize Greg's wishes proves to me how corrupt the system is with respect to elder rights issues. Greg beat and bullied all his siblings from the day we were born; hence, my dear mother would never consider him to have any power or control over her life, much less the life of her son, Larry, who is mentally challenged. The courts have acted not only with injustice, but the courts have acted with greed and insanity! I say this as it is insane to submit to the wishes of a bully, of someone who beat, battered and bullied all his siblings until we were teenagers and he was off living somewhere else, out of our reach. My parents did not speak of Greg's abuse. This was a family secret. Yet there is evidence of it that was recorded. Some of the earliest pictures of me show me crying as a result of Greg's beating upon me. When I was but an young toddler, Greg left me for dead in a forest near our home in Seattle. When I was four years old he ran a lawn mower through a fire ant mound at our home in New Orleans, Louisiana, and made me sand in the enraged fury of stinging ants! When I was seven years old he threw me into a thicket of stinging nettles plants growing near our country home in Chateauneuf, France. A year later after we moved to Orleans, France, he hit me in the eye with a large iron lock skeleton key that he was swinging around upon a line with a fishing rod -- it took some 12 stitches! The very next year he duped me into sticking a fork into an electric outlet! Upon numerous other occasions he struck me, Stephen an Larry with his fist, trying to beat us into submission, to do as he desired. This beating, bullying and battering continued until I was a teenager and Stephen and I made a pact to each come to each other's aid the next time Greg lit into either of us. This pact was at Stephen's suggestion and it worked to stop Greg's assaults and abuse. Yet Greg acted in his characteristic way toward my mother when she became incapacitated. He tried to have himself declared her attorney in fact by getting her to sign documents she did not understand. He even had himself declared executor of her estate! This was after she had been hospitalized for some three weeks and then place in a nursing home for rehabilitation. I had to struggle to get my dear mother diagnosed by private physicians. When I finally got her to the see a neurologist, Greg came to the visit uninvited and violated my dear mother's rights to privacy by trying to sit in on the doctor's visit. I had to have the doctor to tell him to leave, given I had my durable power of attorney in hand and knew Greg's history; knew that my dear mother did not want Greg to have anything to do with her care. Yet even after the doctor told Greg to leave, he stuck around for to her the diagnosis. The next day he and Sharon kidnapped Larry and took him out of state to Colorado! Then Greg filed a false claim to have me declared insane that I'd not be present at my dear mother's guardianship hearing and would be defamed in the eyes of the court; for what judge would grant guardian/conservator to one who had just had his sanity questioned? Given I know Greg's history of beating, battering and bullying his siblings and know how he acted to exploit my own dear mother, I think I know what she would say. She would say, "SHAME ON YOU!" She would say this and curse everyone involved under her breath because she is too nice a lady to shout it out to the world. She would say, "SHAME ON YOU!" But I'm not so nice and to curse those so shamed under my breath. I am shouting it out to the whole world that everyone my know the hurt and harm that has been done to my dear mother by those who should have responded with love, but instead responded with selfishness and greed! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME ON YOU! In honor and respect of my dear mother, Terry Lynch In Honor of La Faye S. Lynch In honor of my dear mother, La Faye S. Lynch, I have established the La Faye S. Lynch Elder Rights Association. This is an educational and informative on-line resource to help everyone interested in reform of the elder care system in America. I have also endeavored to use my artist skills and abilities to raise awareness with respect to the greed, corruption and exploitation associated with the elder care system in America. I am currently calling for the immediate resignation of Montgomery County Probate Court Justice Reese McKinney, Jr. This is the judge who declared my dear mother a ward of the State of Alabama, who signed an order to have me arrested, falsely imprisoned, my body and personal privacy violated and my sanity evaluated based upon a fraudulent claim filed by my eldest brother, Carl Gregory Lynch, the same brother who beat, battered and bullied all his siblings, who was in his fourth marriage and who kidnapped his own mentally retarded brother, as to gain power and control over his life and benefits for life which are some $10.000 per year. Obviously this was also done to try to get me out of the picture and to silence the very type of action and protest that I am currently doing, as Greg knows I am aware of the fact that he is a bully, has been such since the day I was born, and will not tolerate his abusive behavior without a fight! Wanted: Resignation of Reese McKinney, Jr. Plus I made Ditch Reese T-shirts and bumper stickers, all which I'm sure would have gotten me arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, because such advocacy would be regarded as "contempt of court." Ditch Reese McKinney on Nov. nth! It's the sensible thing to do! Also, I told the story about my dear mother and posted it for everyone to read upon the Internet and made videos to retell the story which are posted on YouTube. So in this particular judge's eyes I am certainly in contempt of him, even thought I have NOT done anything illegal. I have simply tried to be an advocate for my dear mother, who appointed me to be her attorney-in-fact and advocate for the duration of her life! That is my mother's wish and I will continue to honor my dear mother until the day she departs this good Earth, regardless of what the courts of Alabama and corrupt judges may order! Yes, I may seem a bit rebellious in this regard, but I am NOT crazy. Since when is it crazy to honor the wishes of one's parents when those wishes were made voluntarily and with a clear mind? Of course in honoring and advocating my dear mother's wishes above those of the court which I view as corrupt and exploitive, I am now afraid to step foot in Montgomery County. The particular judge who so dishonored and disrespected my dear mother's wishes could try to have me arrested to shut me up. After all, I have published WANTED posters calling for him to resign and I've made bumper stickers which say "Ditch Reese McKinney!" Why in Alabama that is enough to get you thrown in jail for contempt of court. So it was quite sensible and sane that I leave Alabama or I'd probably have been shackled and chained and forced to work upon the chain gangs, had the corrupted judges of Alabama the beautiful had their way. This is an extreme example of how the corrupt systems acts to destroy families in Alabama. It takes away all financial resources and then tries to get all property. I lost my home and everything that my dear parents worked so hard for that their children might have a better life. What is particularly terrible about this is that I am the one person in all the world who my mother trusted to make decisions for her should she ever become incapacitated. I was the one who she made her attorney-in-fact in 1995. We had a bond of love and trust and I continue to fight for her and to advocate for her and will do so even after she is gone. That love is something these corrupt courts and greedy people can never take away. Also what is so terrible about my dear mother's situation is that she was targeted for exploitation because she is the widow of a US Army officer and has tremendous benefits. She could be at the best nursing home facility in the country. She does not have to be imprisoned in a small, noisy concrete block prison-like cell room behind electric doors and iron gates in Montgomery, Alabama. She probably does not have to be in a nursing home at all, as she probably qualifies for free care in a facility operated by the Veterans Administration; or perhaps in-home care may have been arranged. Yet these corrupt and greedy people have acted so as to exploit my dear mother, to financially rape and rob her and to endeavor to defame and impoverish the single person who has stood up to advocate her rights, health and welfare as per her expressed wishes and instructions. It is just horrible how this was done so systematically and with malice, given the extreme methods used to intimidate me and force me to leave the state of Alabama. Yet that was the only way I could continue to fight for my dear mother's rights, to tell her story to the world and be sure that I would not hear a gang of Montgomery County sheriffs banging upon my door at night to arrest me, take my computer, throw me in jail and destroy all the work I have done to support my dear mother and try to tell her story to the world. After what they already did and the threats that were made, I am sure that may have been their next move, so I left the state of Alabama and have not returned, for I fear now, more than ever, as soon as these corrupt officials got wind I was in Alabama, they would send their thugs to get me! It is a horrible that this type of persecution is going on in America! I always thought we had freedom of speech in America. Yet these people have tried to silence me. They do not want anyone to know how my dear mother has been financially raped, robbed and exploited. They do not want anyone to see the truth. They want only to keep taking and taking all the money they can get, to bleed my dear mother dry, to milk her for every last cent of benefits they can get! But what is even more horrible is that this is not just happening to me and to my dear mother, it is happening to many, many others who have no one to witness the abuse, no one to see the exploitation, no one to stand up and fight for them, as everyone in their lives who loved them has already gone to meet their maker. My dear mother's case is unique because although her husband, my dear father, is dead, I am alive and am an honorable persons, just as was my dear father. He was a most decorated and valiant officer who fought in WWII, the Korean conflict, the Cold War and did duty during Vietnam. One thing I learned from my dear father is to fight corruptions, to stand up against those who would threaten one's country, one/s home, one's life. Yet the threats which my father sacrificed so much for came from our enemies abroad. He would never have imagined that an enemy exist within our own nation, in our own backyard -- and that enemy is the corrupt and broken elder care system ruled and administered by greedy lawyers, judges and nursing home administrators. It is a monster, an evil dragon, that hordes its lair of gold exploited from the elderly and incapacitated! Everything my parents sacrificed so much for has been lost to these greedy bastards! That is how my father would have said it, as he spoke the truth and called a kettle black when a kettle was black! There is a rotten filth festering, destroying homes, families, and lives. It is perhaps a greater and more real threat to America than any terrorists, for it effects and threatens the majority of people, all who have parents or grandparents who one day will grow too old to care for themselves -- and that includes everyone should we survive long enough to become senior citizens. It is probably too late to help my dear mother who is a virtual prisoner in a nursing home in Montgomery, Alabama. She will probably die alone, separated from her family, from me, the one person who should be by her side when she departs this good earth. I was with my dear father when he died of heart failure. I tried to blow life back into his body as he lay in my arms. But God works in mysterious ways and called him to His side. One day He will call my dear mother and I will not be there because the corrupt and broken elder care system in Alabama has separated a mother from her child ... and we are always our parent's children no matter how old we grow. Perhaps if there is anything good to come from how my dear mother has been financially raped, robbed and exploited by greedy and corrupt individuals, is that others may now see what is going on, and thus through enlightenment, take action to reform the elder care system such that we act not in our own selfish interest, but respect the wishes of our parents and grandparents, and do as they wish be done, not what we as judges, lawyers or nursing home administrators wish be done. For it is all too evident that power and money corrupts, and the elderly and incapacitated are helpless to defend themselves against the onslaught, against the dark forces which will leave them penniless and naked to die alone in concrete block nursing home cells. Terry Lynch Founder, La Faye S. Lynch Elder Rights Association Stop Abuse and Exploitation There are many forms of abuse and NONE of them are acceptable. This includes siblings beating, battering and bullying their siblings. This includes spouses beating, battering and beating their spouses. This includes parents beating, battering and bullying their children. Abuse of any form simply is NOT acceptable! And it is NOT acceptable to use the Internet to abuse others through spouting insults, indignations, hatred or other forms of uncivil behavior which hurts and harms the recipients. To help raise awareness please visit No Means No. This is an educational and informative project designed to raise awareness about the many forms of abuse and advocate that all forms of abuse be stopped. Together we can all say "No Means No!" and work to stop abuse by those who suffer from whatever mental illness or sickness causes them to exhibit cruel and unusual behavior to hurt and harm their fellow human beings! Thank you for your patronage! Help Raise Awareness One of the primary reasons that exploitation of the elderly and other incapacitated persons continues, is that people simply do not know about it. You can help greatly just by raising awareness. The greed and corruption of the elder care system can only be corrected when people are made aware of the corruption and demand a change in the laws and a replacement of those who are corrupt. This means electing judges who respects the wishes and desires of the elderly and their family members and making laws which empower all people to appoint their own guardian/conservator via durable power of attorney. Please help raise awareness by using these enlightening gifts and apparel as a tool to educate and inform everyone! Thank you for your patronage.
