  Speaker 1: to get over. And that's exactly what happened with Justin
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Ray Donaldson. See he is now in jail with scam
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and senior citizens. The man befriended a seventy three year
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: old woman diabolical. This woman probably wanted the friends so
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: bad because all her other friends probably dead, so he
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: established a relationship. Nothing in freaky, Okay. He wasn't into
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know, ja rentifolio. I think that's what they call it,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: ja rentifolio. That's an attraction to elderly ass Okay, he
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't into that. His role was similar to that of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a grandson. And this woman's husband died, so he was
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in a she was in a very vulnerable state, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Justin saw the opening and slit in for this camp.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Let's go to NBC News for the report.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Police and Anderson County man is under arrest after your
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: deputy said he was. He scammed a recent widow into
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: believing she had dementia. Deputy say, thirty five year old
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Justin Donaldson established a grandson like relationship with a seventy
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: three year old woman at a senior living facility. According
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to deputies, after the woman's husband died, Donaldson convinced her
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to make him her power of attorney. Official say, the
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: woman reported fraud this month. Donaldson is char Chards with
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: breach of trust.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not sure how dementia works. Okay, I'm not
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: sure how dementia works in any way, shape or form.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I have no idea of people with dementia, even though
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they got dementia. So I don't even know how you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: can be convinced that you have dementia. Now, what I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't understand is this woman has daughters. According to the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: news report, Okay, who are her power of attorneys? If
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: this elderly woman went and told people, hey, I want
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to remove my daughter's power of attorney over her affairs,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't somebody call the daughters. Then the daughters can intervene
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and say, who the hell is justin Ray Donaldson? They
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just going to allow this man to come in have
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: her remove her daughter's's power of attorney, and he's just
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: easily able to secure the woman's trust and access to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: her bank accounts. I don't get it. He instructed her
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to take out a home equity loan for home repairs,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: but instead went out and bought a twenty fifteen Chevy
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: tie hole for himself. Now, I know dementia causes a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: decline in someone's mental abilities, but this woman was able
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to understand everything Justin rad Donisan was telling her to do.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: She had enough cognitive abilities to know to take her
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: daughters off the power of attorney. She had enough cognitive
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: abilities to put everything in this man's name, but she
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: didn't understand that she was getting scammed. Once again, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about dementia. Of course I have had
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: people in my family who have had it, but hey,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: do they know they got it? And can somebody just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: diagnose and convince you that you have it? Because that's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what happened in this case. I guess now that I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: think about it. If someone is telling me I got
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: dementia and I can't remember ever having dementia, and maybe
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I did forget that I got dementia, I don't know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I just know it's a special place reserved in hell
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for someone like Justin Ray Donaldson. I don't know why
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: we take advantage of elderly people. That's like taking advantage
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of kids. Okay, we act like we don't have grandparents, Okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: great grandparents old to parents. Hell, we act like we
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: not gonna be old one day. Respect your eldest. Okay,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: learn from the people who walk the path before you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: respect them, because someday, sooner than you could ever imagine,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you're going to be an elder. Two, if you're blessed,
• 3:57
