My father is 81 mom is 77. I am an adult child and my father ,to hurt me, will not allow me to visit my mom. Is there any laws about this as she is in advanced stage of dementia. He won't talk to me although I took them to the hospital 4 times this year and my brother has not been down once ,yet my father never abuses him. I just want to see my mom. My father won't put mom in assisted living and she is in advanced stage of dementia. What are the Pinellas county laws? Please help me.

Specifically- the daughters of famed American Top 40 disc jockey, Casey Kasem have been working to pass laws in this area as a result of their fathers wife denying them visitation and actually going as far as hiding their father from them. Several states have passed the law and it is pending in many others. You might want to check out their site to see how it may effect you. The site is Kasemcares.org
2. Tell him the day you will come and show up earlier than you stated.
3. Isolation is elder abuse by definition.
Also, please consider the local health deparment/human services, they can assist with this situation.
