 September 2010 | Loree Cook-Daniels
The charges included, "indifference and a desire to humiliate and disparage Plaintiff Greene and Decedent and their personal relationship, separated them from each other, hindered and interfered with their contact and communication with each other, separated them from their property, including their beloved pet cats, and denied them physical, emotional, and financial support of each other, causing great physical and emotional suffering."
This is an in-depth discussion of allegations of abuse of a gay couple by a California Adult Protective Serivces agency. The case was later settled out of court for $650,000.
