Imagine a hypothetical situation wherein you (the reader) are a loving parent from USA visiting their child in a foreign nation (say China) that doesn’t speak English, and you had a stroke that paralyzed your body but not mind. Your child has made the best possible care available to you privately at home, and one day as you are watching TV, a police officer comes in, and for no reason other than his inability to understand your language or your condition, you are taken away against your cries and protests, and put under the guardianship of a person who doesn’t want to let you live as you have no money from the State as a visitor to pay for your care. Due to her indifference, you are forced to miss a critical followup to rectify a complication to an eye surgery you had done just before her takeover, and albeit you had been waiting at the Doctor’s office she was not available to provide consent when they called her. You lose your right eye which has turned blind due to this entirely avoidable mishap. She stops all your physical therapy and regimen of Botox pain injections, due to which you are in crucifying neuropathic pain from cramps on your legs. She furthermore abuses the guardianship to steal their money from your children’s local bank accounts.

Fed up with this monstrocity, your children send letters to local leadership, human rights organizations and to every possible avenue to seek help. Infuriated at this, she then organizes your murder (after blatantly threatening to do the same with Family over harassing explicit emails and phone calls) at OFFICIALLY the worst ranked “facility” (a horrible and dilapidated temporary shelter for homeless) in ALL of China, by illegally withdrawing all food, water and medication and letting you LITERALLY rot alive in your own excrements while the staff ignores you until you are dead (this government-owned “facility” is notorious for this obnoxious modus operandi that they regularly use to discard worthless sick liabilities to the local government). Your daughter who lives in USA flies into China to rescue you from near-death condition where you are found left to die in a heavy fever covered in dried feces, urine and vomit, with gruesome blisters all over the body from bullosis diabeticorum (your glucose was over 400 when paramedics were shocked to find your condition) from not getting insulin for days.

Afraid that the guardian will return you to the same murderous “facility” after you have been stabilized with insulin, nutrition and hydration at a local government hospital, your children complain to local police and authorities about your murder attempt. The VERY NEXT business day as they return to see you, as retaliation for their efforts and complaints that saved your life, the so-called “guardian” and the local government’s “Risk Management Department” (charged with defending liability cases) decides to keep you isolated from anyone that can speak your language and all your friends and family, until you die from stress and agony. Your children approach a Federal Court for justice and the case is ongoing.

For the last six months, you are suffering from panic attacks from not knowing what happened to your children, and not able to communicate to anyone due to language barrier. The stress causes you to break down, and you are in ICU hoping for one last look at your children, but they are not allowed to meet with you because your children are told that the “guardian” and her “attorney” have very recently defrauded the local State court by taking a back door “protection order” without any service or notification, for the obvious purpose of buttressing their defense on the several ongoing investigations & Federal court cases your children have filed against them about your ongoing illegal isolation against Chinese law, by using a pathetic attempt to “legalize” your solitary confinement for last six months through an ex-parte order. As soon as they got the order, they put you in another terrible shelter, from where you had to be readmitted in the space of just 5 days back to the hospital in “altered mental state” and high blood sugar, obviously deteriorating from the anxiety and stress of solitary confinement and from panic attacks.

This is exactly the unfathomably dastardly evil what our innocent mother is going through, under the obviously & completely nonsensical pretext of a pathetic “guardianship” circus.

Ms. Omana Thankamma is a 77 year old Indian citizen, who has been visiting her ONLY biological child remaining (of three), Mr. Jayakrishnan Nair (Jay) since 2002, for six months every year, and spending the other six with her step-daughter Ms. Rajakumari Susheelkumar (Raji, staff of one of India’s oldest and most circulated dailies), granddaughter Sukanya Susheel and brother Jayakumar Nair in India. She had retired as a Senior Accounts Officer from a public utility company in India, a pension of ~$300/mo from which is her only income. She is the widow of a revered political leader (who was also a Supreme Court of India senior lawyer) and noted philanthropist Mr. G. Krishnan Nair, in posthumous honor of whom a major artery road in Thiruvananthapuram (capital city of Kerala, India) is named, on which the Thiruvananthapuram District Court, Vanchiyoor Police Station and Family Court are situated.

In 2012, her medical troubles began in the form of a triple bypass surgery while visiting USA, which Jay paid for out of pocket. She was hospitalized in Pomona, NJ for roughly 5 months. From that year, Raji started visiting USA regularly to help her brother take care of their mother. In 2014, she was partially paralyzed on the left side (Hemiplegia) and was unable to return to India (Statements to USCIS from her PCP Dr. Mamata Palanati and Neurologist Dr.Ming Hong). As a devoted son, Jay made the tough decision to put his IT program manager career in hiatus to become a work-at-home full-time caregiver for his mother so she can stay in the USA with him. She stayed with him happily, but tragedy struck in the form of a second stroke (Cerebellar) in 2016, which paralyzed her body almost completely (except for right hand) but she still retained her mental faculty and was able to hold meaningful and deep conversations as before with Family. Son made a lot of changes to the home including installing handicap-accessible ramps and purchasing hospital bed, Hoyer lift, custom wheelchair etc, so the home can be a happy sanctuary for her to live in. In addition, he also hired a RESPITE care giver for the times as a live-in, for the short times he had to step out of his house for errands, and also hired a maid as live-in to help to take care of his household chores.
