Pamstegman if there are predators that don't realize they are predators taking advantage of our seniors then they don't belong working with seniors. If their insight is so shallow as not to know right from wrong they don't need to be in a position of making decisions for seniors. Not meaning to do something is no excuse for not being held responsible for doing it. Perhaps this is a chance for "misunderstood" to understand let us not be the ones to keep her from growing and learning.

Misunderstood, you are a professional in a position of trust. You knew the rules. Heavens! - you were employed specifically to keep those rules! You went ahead anyway. I just don't know what to say.

Frustrated, Misunderstood accepted a salary, large or small makes no difference, for her role of protecting her client. If she's that ignorant of basics such as not using her client's accounts for her own personal spending, she has no business being in the job. Seriously now. Anyway, she did know, that's why she was so hesitant about doing it - until expediency got the better of her conscience. She should have listened to herself.

So now what? I think, as usual, Pam Stegman got it right. Get advice, and jump before you're pushed. If no harm has come to your client, and you can get out of this situation without lasting damage done to your record, then good luck to you. I'm happy to believe you've been only foolish but in that case for heaven's sake learn from it.

I'm sorry, but if that woman had opened 50 credit cards I wouldn't have wanted my name on them. Every red flag in my mind would have been on high alert. I'm only saying this to advise anyone else ever in this same situation. Don't ever in this life have someone elderly put your name on anything. As you've found out, it's a recipe for disaster. Best to talk to a lawyer first about the legalities so it doesn't look shady...because it really does. Even if it isn't.
