DC'S EMANCIPATION DAY
DC Emancipation Day being honored today occurred in 1862, months before Pres. Lincoln's National Law, with about 3,100 African (American) slaves "freed". Today DC judicial decisions needlessly strip seniors and the disabled of their freedom and property putting them in a category, less than slavery.

Please send an email to find out how to save Viola Nero and other DC African American seniors  treated as chattel by primarily young white lawyers (that is hard to read, but twice as hard to write).   





Thanks

THE OWNER OF 1317 JONQUIL ST DOES NOT WANT HER HOME RENTED OUT OR SOLD

Hello Friend:

What a beautiful day in the D.C.!

Family members and residents of Shepherd Park want you to know why you should consider honoring  the express wishes of the owner of "1317", Viola Nero, the oldest resident of Shepherd Park who is having her human and civil rights violated by a local lawyer.

Viola adamantly wants to be at home, and has begged and begged to return home to her fully paid for home of over 50 years.  Her beloved home is being  advertised to be sold or rented out without her permission or knowledgePlease see  WUSA interview at the bottom of this blog page.


 
Notice to Prospective Lessee's:

1317 Jonquil St.N.W., Washington, D.C.20012 is being rented out against the express wishes of the owner Viola Nero by guardian Katherine M. Wiedmann, a prominent member of the DC Bar who may be under investigation by the D.C. Office of Inspector General based on complaints against her.


Neighbors, family members and friends have witnessed the inhumane treatment of our beautiful neighbor forced out the home that she thrives in  into a one room facility less than 2 miles away where they just experienced second outbreak of bed bugs and mice.  For the past 100 days she has been forced to live in a room with plastic walls while it is being rehabilitated.  Social workers, lawyers, caregivers have all asked why Ms. Wiedmann won't let Mrs. Nero return home, as the law dictates.  


Whoever rents this property is in the middle of a city wide human rights battle for the dignity of a citizen who is capable of living in her home; press conferences are held in front of the home. 


Ms. Wiedmann does not inform the honest and innocent members of the real estate community of what she has done and is doing  causing them to unknowingly jeopardize their own integrity and reputation in offering Viola's home.

If you ascribe to International Human Rights standards, the U.S. Constitution and D.C. law perhaps you will choose to honor her wishes.


Please view the videos below to see how neighbors and friends are in unanimous support of her return home.

Stop Human Rights Abuse



Who can find a virtuous woman?
For her price is far above rubies.
Proverbs 31:10
________________________________________________________________________________

Viola has been forced from her home by a ruthless court appointed lawyer in order to make money from her home.  Currently, she is left in a room with bedbugs, in a facility less than 2 miles from her home.   Only public outcry can stop this injustice by a court appointed lawyer.  Please pray and also volunteer to help Viola!

The lawyer continually denies her requests to return home - in violation of the U.S. Constitution and D.C. law - and is rushing to tie up the home by leasing it out before another public outcry or  demonstration so that Viola, 92 years old,  may never be able to return to her home again.  

 

 Lawyer Katherine M. Wiedmann has just taken a $100,000.00 line of credit from her home paid off over 40 years ago, but continues to refuse to honor her wishes to live at home although it's 40% cheaper, including the cost of caregivers.  Although D.C. law demands a priority for the senior's wishes and letting them thrive where they want to live, guardians  make more money bilking the system - guardians like Ms. Wiedmann ignore the law, common sense, best practices.  She refuses to let Viola even have a week long vacation or any respite in almost 5 years, not even a massage.  

 

Viola is forced to live in a basement  in a molded room with occasional mice and roaches, while her 4- bedroom home, with fully renovated basement and bathrooms, beautiful backyard and deck sits vacant.  She craves the birds and squirrels that she has fed for years, long time neighbors and friends that she is prohibited from visiting,  several flower gardens, a large organic vegetable garden.  Her home  - sits empty - 1.39 miles down the street, from the facility where she is detained.  The lawyer is illegally trying to sell it behind her back.

 

For this this abuse, Ms. Wiedmann bills Viola over $2,0000 per month to "care for her" in addition to needless expenses of the lawyer's hired social worker, another hired caregiver, the plethora of nurses and caregivers at the assisted living facility.  This outrageous waste and abuse are typical of court appointed guardians in D.C. and around the country. All she wants is to live in her home, with her son and full time caregiver.  This simple request is resisted and thwarted by the guardian, who causes her to be billed in the hundred's of thousands of dollars.

In this exemplary website a son, in another state, whose mother is also 92, fights for her freedom from the hand of a lawyer and "judicial" system.  You should read this chronology- because this could happen to you, your mother or your father!

See what Florida courts and lawyers have done to this incredible mom...


These human rights violations are rampant - don't let this happen to your parents, it can happen YOU...it is so easy to happen
      
See the film "12 Years A Slave"- 
you will see guardianship for what it is, court appointed lawyers tricking and trapping people, then taking away their freedom and finances.



 
1. On Nov. 1, 2013, Viola was forced into a unsafe, filthy room filled with a strangers junk and sleep on a strangers stained cloth mattress cover by lawyer/guardian Katherine M. Wiedmann.  


The lawyer placed her in the same filthy room a second night against objections from her son.  The room had two huge holes in the wall but the lawyer has refused to have it tested for asbestos.


Viola was evacuated from her tiny room for two days while they exterminated bedbugs in her room caused by another resident.  Viola never had bedbugs in her four bedroom Shepherd Park home.  This happened the day before the funeral of her husband of over 60 years.  The lawyer billed up to $250.00 for the hour of putting Viola in a filthy, unsafe room.







 Viola was forced to sleep in a room with nasty filth and debris from a total stranger, yet the lawyer who did this refuses to let her live in the home that she worked for and paid off.

2. Viola on You Tube August 2012, begging to return home:

The guardian makes a profit from someone else's lifetime of working, giving and saving.  The catch is - Viola, was never incapacitated - that was the door used to get control.  This is three years after being declared unable to think or have the ability to know what she wants. Anyone can petition to force someone into guardianship, a neighbor, relative or stranger - their motives can be evil or righteous - but the courts fail society by not protecting their due process rights. Like so many seniors, she wasn't even allowed to use her funds to get a lawyer.  The court appointed one for her (but didn't tell her that she was also a guardian). 




  

3. Viola in Jan 2011, begging to remain at home :







 In this interview, residents of the Nation's Capitol could clearly see that Viola was not "incapacitated" as a judge ruled over two years previously.  They also saw how a court lawyer would trick Viola out of her home by taking her to dinner...No. Really!



4. Viola's story was mentioned two years ago in the   Washington Examiner on Nov. 8,  2011:




Please help us with your ideas and time! What would you do if your mother, neighbor, friend were treated like this? Get involved. These are not personal, private family matters.  It could be your parents next...

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

Dear Friend:
A year ago to the day, a healthy 90-year old
Viola stood in her beloved organic garden,
after feeding the birds and squirrels, her
summer routine for decades. Now, forcibly
confined in a facility for almost a year she cries
herself to sleep
wanting her freedom, missing
her home which
a guardian is planning to sell
(without telling her).
Please help us publicize Viola's case so that
she can have her freedom restored from an
unwarranted and unconstitutionally
appointed abusive "guardian".
Veteran CBS affiliate Andrea McCarren
broke this story of injustice in January, 2011.
Is this "legalized" kidnap and slavery?
Click on the link below:

Viola is being housed in a Maryland facility
against her will 1.39 miles from her home
by a D.C. court appointed guardian who
billed her $35,000.00 in unconscionable,
unnecessary
legal fees last year but refused
to
let her watch cable television anymore, after
30 years of service.

The guardian, currently out of the states on her
second three week international vacation
in a
year, has refused
Viola's repeated requests to go
to the beach
for three summers, now. Viola has
vacationed at the beach for over fifty years. How
can you treat someone like this then bill them
$250.00 per hour, to ignore them? There's no
medical, physical or mental reason that she can
not live at home, have cable television or go
to the beach.

Viola's story was also mentioned in
the Washington
Examiner:
"Too often, death is the only
way out of guardianship gulag".


Click on the link below:

http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/41391
The guardian, chairperson of the prestigious D.C.
Bar Section on Probate and Estate lawyers
paid another $25,000.00 of Viola's funds to
an unlicensed Maryland Home Care company
operating illegally in the District, which she insisted
on hiring, despite a plethora of available licensed
D.C. companies.

Currently, she has begun eviction proceedings
against Viola's son and "advocate general" in order
to
sell her home paid offthirty years ago, despite
Viola's requests to live at home - scandalous.
  • STOP THE EVICTION IMMEDIATELY
  • REMOVE VIOLA FROM GUARDIANSHIP
  • RESTORE HER ASSETS
  • DEMAND IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATIONS
  • ABOLISH BAD LAWS

While not in agreement with implications of the United Nations
or a "One World "anything, even the first ten articles of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (never mind the D.C. Code or U.S.
Constitution) bemoan Viola's treatment!: Click Link United Nations:
