Nassau County DA: Long Island Woman Abused Guardianship Relationship To Pilfer Over $50K From Minor Child Who Was Placed Under Her Legal Supervision After His Mother Passed Away

From the Office of the Nassau County, New York District Attorney:

• Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a court-appointed guardian and executrix was arrested [] for allegedly stealing more than $50,000 from the guardianship accounts of the minor.
  
  Angela Parson, 58, of Hempstead, was arraigned [...] and charged with Grand Larceny in the Second Degree (a C felony). The defendant was conditionally released to probation and is due back in court on July 21. Parson faces up to five to 15 years in prison if convicted.
  
  “This defendant is charged with stealing more than $50,000 from a child who was placed in her guardianship after his mother passed away,” said DA Singas. “Guardians are entrusted by our legal system with special responsibilities to act in the best interests of those in their care, but this defendant allegedly violated that trust for her own personal self-enrichment. My office will aggressively prosecute this case and seek full restitution for this young victim.”
  
  DA Singas said that in April 2009, the mother of the complainant passed away. The defendant was named executrix of the deceased’s Last Will and Testament and named guardian of the person and property of the deceased’s child, the complainant, who was 11 years old at the time.

  The matter came to the attention of the NCDA in November 2015 when the now adult complainant notified the office that he was unable to contact Parson, his appointed guardian. The victim further alleged that his guardianship account had been withdrawn by her in violation of the order of the Nassau County Surrogate’s Court.
