They have not told us where he is moving. He has been with us for 51 yrs. They sent a court Visitor to make a report on appointing a new guardian. They removed me and appointed the conservatism son to be my son guardian. It said in the report that we had been taking good care of Ryan. They said the only problem was I wasn’t socializing him enough. Thankyou Deborah

What is your question? If you disagree with the reason for him being removed then you will need to appeal through the courts. You probably will need an attorney.

As you can imagine, we ourselves have no power in this and no knowledge of the reasons your son is being removed from your care. But if this was a court case, and a conservator was appointed by the court, then we do know that there ARE reasons. We cannot know why you don't know and understand the reasons. We really cannot help you.

From all you say, your 51 year old son is now removed from your care. You have two steps you can take:
1. See an attorney to discuss and appeal this decision of the courts
2. Cooperate with the conservator in all things and visit your son where he is placed.

This eventually would have been the case. You have, apparently, an aging son who cannot take care of himself, and you yourselves are aging ahead of him, and soon will not be able to care for him as well. He would eventually go into the hands of the state who appoints guardianship for his protection. That this has happened early has been difficult for you, but you should attempt to adjust to it for his own sake.

If the son was being decently cared for, the state or whoever had no damn right to get him removed from his home.

How do you know he will eventually go into the hands of the state?

He may have siblings and family that are willing to take on being his conservator/guardian at some point if hs parents cannot care for him anymore. Even if he has to go into facility care, family would be the one making the decisions.

The state has no right to do this to a family then to not even let them know where he is.

Not getting him 'socialized' enough is not a good enough reason to pull someone out of their home and away from their family.

Even though the guy is handicapped he still has civil and Constitutional rights.
No one is supposed to just take a person out of their home because they believe they aren't socializing enough.

Were you or family his conservator? Why was there even talk of appointing a new guardian (conservator) for him?

Someone petitioned the court and made an argument to get his conservatorship changed. Whoever did was pretty underhanded about it because they didn't even have you served with court papers to appear. When the other party isn't there, they lose by default.This happens all the time though. The nursing home tried to sue for conservatorship of my parent. No one informed me his POA. A lawyer told me to make sure I checked the court docket online a couple times a week and that's how I knew to appear.

For now, you should go to a lawyer and tell them what happened. If your son was being decently cared for at home and you have a careplan in place for who will take over for you, they had no right to take him.

Not being "socialized" enough is not a reason to remove him from his home and you should go to a lawyer right away.

Eventhough your son is handicapped he has civil and Constitutional rights if he is an American. Pulling him out of his home where he was being well cared for certainly sounds to me like a violation of his basic human rights. A fetus in many states has more rights than your 51 year old son. Don't let it go. Get yourself to a lawyer.

It looks like a son/brother held conservatorship and petitioned for guardianship which was granted.

So sorry for this and yes they probably cannot tell you anything. The guardian should be able to talk to you who seems to be your other Son? Did he not tell you he was going for guardianship?
