Show Notes
Elderly Floridians like Martin Hochheiser are being removed from their homes without court oversight, often ending up in subpar assisted living facilities. The states Department of Children and Families, through Adult Protective Services, has taken 11,395 elders or disabled individuals from their homes between 2021 and 2023. Families are left in the dark, and residents face stripped dignity, language barriers, and even dangerous situations. One lone DCF worker in Miami-Dade has been accused of kickbacks, and homes have been ignoring serious incidents. Hochheiser fought back and won, but thousands more are lost in this shadow world annually, demanding real due process.
