My name is Christy Kicklighter Smith, and I'm reaching out for your urgent help. My elderly mother, Carolyn Kicklighter Rea, had been subjected to abuse, exploitation, and a legal cover-up that reaches deep into Georgia authorities, including the office of Hazlehurst Police Department, Glynn County District Attorney’s office, Georgia Governor, Brian Kemp, Attorney General, Chris Carr, GBI Agents, Coweta County Sheriff, Len Wood, Coweta County District Attorney’s office, POST, and Adult Protective Services, all violating their oath of office by plainly refusing to do anything to help stop this felony being committed to a protected class. Discovering that my mother's well-being has been manipulated and overlooked by those sworn to protect her has been shocking and heartbreaking.

In my fight to protect her, I've gathered concrete bank records, medical documents, recordings, emails and an illegitimate power of attorney that clearly exposes the exploitation by my own brother, aided by the major officers of law complicit in this abuse. I was met with threats and false accusations in my fight for justice. After I called 911 on this, police stating that elder abuse is for probate court, not the police, the same officer immediately filed a retaliatory false police report and accused me of exploitation. My husband’s only recourse to the most moronic police report was the threat of a lawsuit, which led to the bogus charges being dropped. And now, I, a disabled woman, continue to live in fear due to receiving harassment and threats afterwards regarding all of this from a person living close by. 

I sought help from attorneys and reporters, whom were all excited to hear my case. However, once seeing who was involved, each stated that their caseload was full or as one civil rights attorney said, “well, you can’t make police do their job.” This is not just about my mother; this is about ensuring that no elder person should ever endure such betrayal of trust and abuse of power. My mother deserves justice, and so do countless others facing similar situations across our nation.

We need a transparent federal investigation to break through the Georgia barriers of corruption and ensure my mother's story receives the attention it deserves. This investigation is crucial to unveil the failures of the system meant to protect our vulnerable elderly citizens.

Your signature can amplify the call for justice and help illuminate this deeply entrenched corruption. Stand with me in demanding that our federal agencies investigate and hold those accountable for the abuse and manipulation against Carolyn Kicklighter Rea and elders like her. Together, we can make a significant difference and send a clear message that such misconduct will not be tolerated.

Please sign this petition to mandate a federal investigation into this elder abuse corruption in Georgia. Your support can bring justice and safeguard others who may be equally vulnerable.
