How did she become involved?
She got involved as she is a family member of an elder abuse victim. Her father had Alzheimer's disease and was sent to the nursing home. He was deceived by a random stranger, who claims to be taking care of him in the nursing home. The perpetrator soon added his name into her father's checking account and will. As she found out, she reported it to the Florida police, but the law could not help her solve the problem. Therefore, she decided to take advantage of her specialty: film, to bring up awareness on this issue. (Examiner.com, n.d.)
