I called APS in Cuyahoga County and reported my bro for 8 years of financial exploitation of my father. I gave enough info that they opened a case. My questions are:
1. Does anyone know the Ohio process?
2. Wll APS look at bank records to verify my report?
3. If APS looks at financial records, how far back will they go?
4. Will they look at the forged signatures on checks?
And my final question... I have copies of the finance transations. Am I at risk of getting myself in trouble if I send the APS these copies along with a letter explaining events that
Occurred. I am dealing with a sociopathic brother and I never trust him. I don't want to jeopardize myself financially or put my home at risk. If APS doesn't do their job, my father will end up in a nursing home on Medicaid. If APS does their job, Dad could get his house back and use it for $$ if he needs to go to assisted living. He would also stop the theft from his bank account that my bro is doing, all within the shady side of the law.

Hello m:

If you're going to rely on this agency, then DO whatever you can to help them in their investigation. I would be asking THEM these questions - not us.

Are you risking stuff by doing this to your brother?? You betcha. But, if you're doing it, DO IT!

It wouldn't hurt for you to hire a lawyer for your dad either.
