Introduction to a Unbelievable Elder Abuse Case

Welcome to the Frank Punito Website

( Returned visitors Please check 'Update' page for latest developments)
(If you are in a hurry. Just watch the few minutes of video on "Video Page")

This is a true and tragic story. As Frank's friend and confidant, I had witnessed some of the incidences mentioned in this story. I have also sighted documents verifying the matters mentioned here. I have Frank's expressed permission to tell his story.
This is NOT just a story about property settlement.
How can two adult children ( 40 and 45 years of age) leave their aging father (age 77 now) in unacceptable living quarters for more than 8 years. (see 'Video Page"). INEXCUSABLE !
The neglect, mental anguishes, the emotional and psychological upheavals that this man has endured over more than 8 years are taking a toll on his health. He already has a few serious medical problems.
The daughter works in the area of recommending/providing mental health services.
When does one starts to be concerned about one's parent's mental health? Only when he/she is diagnosed as mentally ill?
IS THIS A CASE OF ELDER ABUSE?
