That's one of the most disturbing stories I've read in a while. It's unbelievable, felt like I was reading science fiction. I wonder if there are ways to protect oneself in old age from being a victim of that...
Don't live in one of the states with those type of guardianship laws. Probably need to elect a President that will choose a responsible steward for the HHS so that we can actually collect data on what is happening now and act upon it to reform this situation.

It truly is. I wonder if we're being told the whole story though: some woman shows up at another person's door with no connection at all, but has a signed court order as their guardians? It is mentioned that the couple's daughter visited almost every day. She couldn't find a lawyer to immediately file an injunction?
EDIT: Yeah, looks like the authorities stepped in[0].
