Family arrested for stealing from parents - YNN, Your News Now

That is sick. i wonder if the parents become deaf later, not Deaf?

i know how media makes it feel sorry for Deaf people.

I wonder how did the investigators know that the credit cards were stolen? Did the parents report it?

Despicable kids. I would never do such a thing to my parents.

Reminds me of a story I once heard. A Deaf couple went to an estate lawyer, they had their daughter and son interpret everything. After the will was completed, the husband died a few years later. The wife was in for a rude awakening, she had nothing.

Apparently the daughter had instructed the lawyer to leave absolutely nothing to the wife once the husband dies. Just horrible.

You know, there's a lot missing from this story. I see a very plausible explanation here: the entire family has fallen on hard times. They "stole" the credit card and used it to buy groceries at the Price Chopper (a grocery store, correct?). After all, the family lived together. It's not like they were using it to buy frivolous items. That's the first thing that makes me go hmmm.

Next thing: the family members returned to the home of the elderly parents. Why? Maybe because the elderly parents needed their offspring to care for them???? Now the police are keeping that from them?

The story flings around this word "victim," but I dunno. I am really not convinced. What if they were all in on it together? How come there is no comment from the elderly parents? There is so much missing information here.

Ouch...

If something like that happened, then it makes me wonder how those kids were really treated if they were to consider saying something like that.

That's why I wanted to know how did the inspectors come to the conclusion that the credit cards were stolen. Just too much missing information for me to judge.

Perhaps because of the restraining order mentioned in the article. One would presume that if the children were adhering to that order, they wouldn't be able to access their parents' credit card.

There was no restraining order mentioned in the article. There was an "order of protection" mentioned, but this is very different from a restraining order.

Yup it is true. It happened to a well known Deaf parents. When he died, the daughter took over the business. Everything suddenly went south and the business became bankrupt. She took a different approach from her father and she created a toxic atmosphere in the office.

The golden rule is: NEVER let your children interpret for you in legal and/or criminal situations where they may be involved.

What the US called a restraining order, the UK calls it an order of protection, it's the exact same thing. No difference at all.

Actually, no. And we're not talking about the UK here. We're talking about a United States order of protection: Difference Between Order of Protection & Restraining Order | eHow.com

Regardless, it remains unknown who made the order of protection. Was it a court/law enforcement acting on their own accord? or was it the elderly parents? We don't know.
