Some of the most vulnerable members of our community rely on guardians to protect their interests, their finances, and their well-being. But what happens when someone entrusted to help takes advantage of that responsibility?

In our newest episode, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook and Clay County Clerk Tara Green discuss our new Guardianship Task Force and the work being that will be done to identify and hold accountable those who exploit vulnerable individuals under their care.

We discuss how these cases are investigated, the warning signs to look for, and why protecting vulnerable members of our community requires awareness, collaboration, and accountability.

Our most vulnerable deserve to be protected, not exploited.
