Kaye Gray, an elderly Texas woman, has been subjected to alleged guardianship abuse, financial exploitation, and medical mistreatment under the oversight of Collin County probate court.
Her daughter, Stacie Drake, has been denied meaningful access to her mother — limited to only a few minutes per month — while every attempt to seek help from law enforcement and government officials has been refused.

Kaye Gray, a resident of Collin County, Texas, was placed under guardianship following the death of her husband — Stacie's stepfather — who allegedly misrepresented Kaye's condition and wishes before his passing. What followed has been, according to Stacie Drake, a systematic stripping of Kaye's rights, finances, and dignity.
The original guardian appointed by the probate court has been accused of financial exploitation and abuse. Doctors and caregivers involved in Kaye's care are alleged to have been complicit in misrepresenting her medical condition. Money that belonged to Kaye has allegedly been diverted and stolen.
Throughout this ordeal, Stacie Drake — Kaye's own daughter — has been denied her rights as a family member. She is permitted only a few minutes of contact with her mother each month, under conditions that prevent meaningful communication.

Stacie Drake has made formal complaints to every available law enforcement and government body. Each has declined to act.
