'I want to live at home.' Garth Schutte, 40, is under a conservatorship. His family isn't allowed to know where he is, or speak to him. What's funding this is your tax dollars. In "The Price of Care: Taken by the State," Andie Judson continues her investigation into conservatorships and the state agency failing the people it has promised to protect: adults with developmental disabilities.

Deborah Findley's son, Andrew, has autism and other health conditions. That's why when he was turning 18, Deborah decided to get a limited conservatorship, a common legal tool that allows Californians to continue providing care and protection for their loved ones with disabilities. But Deborah was blindsided; the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) competed with her - eventually getting conservatorship.

DDS will not let Deborah see her son in person, and in the last three years she's been allowed less than 100 hours of contact with Andrew. She has spent over $300,000 in legal fees fighting the state agency's court-ordered conservatorship to have access to her son.

The Bui family moved to California thinking their younger brother Martin, who has autism, would be better served under California's laws for disabilities. They didn't expect their family to be ripped apart, forced to fight the very system they thought would protect Martin.

In episode three, Investigative Reporter Andie Judson digs into an eye-opening report by the California State Auditor, which found the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is failing to do the job they're legally required to: assist and protect those with disabilities.

Michael Parisio, Jr. had a developmental disability, autism, and suffered from seizures and needed full-time care. When he turned 18 years old, he was put under a limited conservatorship, a legal tool that allowed his parents to continue providing care and making decisions for him. However, allegations of abuse arose and a proper investigation was never conducted.

In episode four, investigative reporter Andie Judson delves into Michael Parisio Jr's case, which ended in death exposing California's broken conservatorship system.

How do we fix California's broken conservatorship system? New legislation aims to provide more rights to people with disabilities who have been conserved.
