There are elder and fiduciary abuse laws which can be rather tough on the abusing caretaker. These can result in either or both criminal and civil liability.

You should consult with someone to discuss options.

Such conduct would constitute numerous criminal and civil violations. If it is you or yours being abused, file a police report and consider filing suit to recover the losses. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
