He's mentally disabled & living in a group home in Baton Rouge, LA. They treat him poorly, they steal from him, & the staff mentally abuses him. He's 30 yrs. old & wants his independence. They have a 10-minute phone limit, he gets no privacy, he has to eat what they feed him, & he can't go where he wants. They control his money & won't even tell him how much income he receives. He has a right to know since it's HIS money. & they take $400/month for rent, which is understandable, but what do they do with the other $200 that they're not giving him? They treat him like he's in prison. I currently live in Texas, & I would like to take him in. He has a hard time trusting me, since my other sisters & brothers & my parents misused his money & treated him poorly. I'm not like that. I'll pay all the bills & help him get his GED & won't give him restrictions on his money spending, & I won't deprive him of food like they did. They'd take his money & spend it on groceries & wouldn't let him eat.
