"Rooney is "effectively a prisoner in his home", the order - approved by a Los Angeles judge on Monday - states. Mr Aber is the son of Rooney's eighth wife, Jan Chamberlin, whom he married in 1978. According to court documents, he has allegedly deprived Rooney of medication and food and has confiscated his passport and other identification cards." Click here for the complete article.
Those of us who remember Rooney as a child actor can hardly believe he is 90 years old. Even if he has run through to eight wives, he does not deserve this kind of behavior from anyone, nor does any senior in their own home from their children, step-children guardians, or anyone else yetr it happens too often without the law hearing about it in order to intervene.
People who are alone, often immobile, are preyed on by strangers who befriend them and pretend to be helping them. They are not penniless people, necessarily, and one instance with which I am intimately familiar, the woman was quite well to do but shut a sister (who lived a state away) out, had succeeded in having the woman write a new will, and walking off with hundreds of thousand of dollars of silver, jewelry, rugs, antiques, and other valuables.. Of particular concern are those who are lonely and talk to anybody available. They tell them their delusions of wealth and security when it is, in fact, lacking and leave themselves open to be preyed upon.
