Mother charged with stealing trust money

Dmt8 Friday, April 6, 2012: 12:33 am

This is a truly sad story. I couldn't imagine losing my husband pregnant and with a younger child. My question is to the courts as to why this wasnt set up as a trust. The mother was given a lump sum along with the two daughters. If indeed guardianship was fit to be neccessary the courts still required approval which was only done for $16,000? Where were the courts to oversee that it was done for every withdraw? Why did the investor release the money if permission was needed? And shame on the mother for withdrawing money no permission and clearly knowing she was doing wrong. We all have responsibilities as parents and with that comes expenses. That money was for their future not to be used for the things we as parents are supposed to pay for. Being appointed as a guardian means you are the protector the one to over see and make decisions in the best interest of the child. Not blowing it on vacations to keep up with a familiar lifestyle . As for the eldest daughter from information that I know from the past when the original inheritance was 408 And invested for 12 years and only walking away with slightly more than what was given my question is where's the interest? Aside from the economy which would have been around 2004 and only gaining a VERY small amount........I find that pretty suspicious myself. I would like to bet there was not an investigation on the eldest daughters money considering statute of limitations is 2 years....expired 5 years ago. I'm calling that hearsay because the investigation was red flagged for the youngest. Media is dispicable at times. I can handle facts not assumed information. I will give the mother the fact that the bankruptcy crap or things that don't have to do with the case were uncalled for. Prayers to the daughters and family. Todd deserves this justice whether the mother and daughter have made amends or not.
