Charlotte and Howard: Financial Exploitation by a Befriender

Charlotte was 88 at the time of filming. Her husband, Howard, died shortly after the deposition; six weeks before the trial. They were exploited financially by a befriender. Charlotte has spoken publicly about elder abuse and testified before her state’s legislature to get a law passed to make it easier for future victims who are ill to testify.

There are good people out there who would help catch bad individuals; however it is unfortunate that Charlotte and Howard had to lose that much money to be noticed!

Anytime someone asks you to "lend them money" that is a sure sign of trouble.
