921: What is Granny Napping? How Families Use Power of Attorney to Take Everything
Description
What happens when the very system meant to protect our elderly becomes a tool for kidnapping and exploitation? In this shocking episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Jonathan Farley shares the haunting story of how his 84-year-old mother was forcibly removed from her own home, drugged against her will, and isolated from her family - all while police and legal authorities stood by and watched.

Jonathan reveals the disturbing details of how his brother, armed with only a power of attorney document, orchestrated what he calls a "granny napping" - a scheme involving isolation, medication, and liquidation of assets. The footage, which has been viewed over a million times, shows his mother being physically restrained and removed from her home while screaming in pain, despite no court order or medical declaration of incompetence.
The investigation uncovers a troubling pattern of asset depletion, with his mother's bank account dropping from $197,000 to just $6,100 in her final days. Through his mother's story, Farley exposes how elderly Americans can be stripped of their basic constitutional rights without due process.
Most chilling is the manner in which the system failed: police refused to investigate, the New York State Attorney General declined to look into obvious misconduct, and his mother was given drugs that the FDA specifically warned against for her demographic. The facility where she was held even documented her daily recounting of how she was taken from her home, while staff reportedly laughed at her pleas.
This episode raises urgent questions about elder rights, police accountability, and the shocking ease with which someone can be stripped of their fundamental freedoms in modern America. Farley's call to action includes reaching out to NY Attorney General Letitia James to investigate this case, which stands as a stark warning about the vulnerabilities in our elder care system and the potential for abuse of power by both family members and authorities.
