The Price of Protection - Genyte Dirse | ABC Action News Streaming Original

Before 85-year-old Genyte Dirse was taken into court-ordered guardianship in 2018, she was living independently at a small hotel she owned and operated in St. Pete Beach for more than 30 years. That hotel – and the fight over the sale of the property – is the reason she ended up in guardianship. This episode highlights how someone who barely knows you can ask a judge to put you in guardianship and take away your rights.
