Dear Mr. Phipps
It has come to the attention of the 69,000 followers of Boomers Against Elder Abuse that you are petitioning the court for further isolation of 91 year old Elinor Frerich, preventing her from receiving unrestricted visits from her loved ones. We have read documents concerning this case, and urge you to remove yourself as conservator if Elinor wishes it--this can only be determined by her presence at her own hearing. We also ask you to cease restricting her rights in a way that appears retaliatory. Your actions in restricting visits by her husband, and your animosity toward him on record, could even be perceived by some to be racially motivated. I urge you to repair your public image by demonstrating compassion and concern for Elinor's wishes and rights. We are watching this case with great interest, hoping that you will do the right thing by properly respecting the rights and wishes of an elder under your supervision, and her husband.
Boomers Against Elder AbusePhipps disregarded Boomers’ request, just as he ignored Elinor’s rights and wishes.
