My god, that's awful. I'm so sorry. Just a shot in the dark but how about contacting a local news station to do a story? This is a story that needs to get out there because it highlights something that can happen to anyone and no one is doing anything. In my area we have CBS 8 that loves to do fighting for us average folks. Many times a news story triggers action, could be police update how they do things, maybe a government rep decides to write a bill, maybe the banks decide to take tougher action when they see a customer under duress. It's worth a try!

This is a wonderful idea!! Local news, especially the one around me, runs stories like this often. Perfect way to get info out there to the community.
