"From the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (excerpts): “Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Article 6: Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law. Article 12: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.” Freedom, dignity, security and the the pursuit of happiness and joy is a fundamental human right. Together we can expose the injustice and wrongdoing in guardianships, develop the reform, and protect the vulnerable and their families from exploitation."
