Ruby Peterson Court Victim

Friend of Candice Schwager Silverado Senior Living of Sugarland was sued this week in the 129th Judicial District of Harris County, Texas, with allegations of false imprisonment, conspiracy, assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress for wrongfully denying a 93-year old woman the right to leave its lockdown facility. Case No. 2014-40980; Mackey Glen Peterson vs. David Troy Peterson, Silverado Senior Living of Sugarland, et al. Among other allegations, the lawsuit alleges that Ruby Peterson has been forcibly drugged with dangerous Psychotropic drugs and narcotics, prevented from leaving Silverado’s premises since August 23, 2013, denied access to her three sons, a phone and her mail. Ruby Peterson (93) is a longtime resident and philanthropist of Baytown, Texas, where she has generously supported Lakewood Church of Christ and other community churches through her giving. The lawsuit alleges that Ruby’s troubles began when her daughter and son, Carol Ann Manley and David Troy Peterson of Sugarland, illegally procured a prescription for Seroquel from David’s daughter-in-law, a San Antonio-based Geriatric Psychiatrist who had never examined Ruby. In her 93 years, Ruby has taken only one medication, Prozac, which was also procured by her daughter for depression. Though her daughter has no medical credentials, Carol Ann Manley maintains that her mother suffers from dementia, while her sons insist that their mother is of sound mind with no significant health problems beyond normal aging.  Significantly, the FDA has placed a black box warning on Seroquel against the use of this dangerous drug for elderly patients with dementia, citing the risk of death and cerebrovasular incidents. Ruby has a longstanding heart arrhythmia, for which Seroquel is not recommended.

Denise Lillian Tighe Court Victim

Friend of Virginia Pritchett Denise Lillian Tighe was born January 24th, 1926 in Geneva Switzerland. She immigrated to the USA in the 1950’s to marry a doctor from New York, USA. She managed a French bank on Wall Street for many years. Denise loved New York, loved the USA and was a world traveler. She enjoyed five star restaurants. One day Denise became ill from a curable bladder infection. Bladder infections are totally curable but make elderly people sick physically and mentally. This condition is curable with an antibiotic. Adult Protective Services found Denise was living alone and started keeping tabs on her for little reason. Within three weeks, Adult Protective Services arranged for Denise to be hauled to a nursing home against her will, a place she never wanted to go. She was cruelly held in the air by local police as neighbors watched her scream, “I don’t want to go.” She could have paid for twenty-four-hour home help until the day she died because she was wealthy. Denise’s friend, Virginia Pritchett, would spend the next two years until Denise’s death fighting the state of Texas over her friend’s cruel treatment by ‘the state.” Denise would spend two years in a state recommended nursing home where her money was divided between a nursing home she detested, cruel guardian attorneys (one who wanted to kill her pet cats there was nothing wrong with) and neglectful guardians. Her money became divided between state workers and agencies who refused her visitation rights, even from her only sister Susanne Foley. She was found once by her friend Virginia Pritchett after she was taken to a hospital not expected to live. Her only sister had not even been called in regard to her health… Read More
