Britney Spears isn't the only citizen ensnared in the guardianship/conservatorship system. The corruption within the system is staggering with billions of ward's dollars up for grabs nationwide. My new book (out summer 2023) delves into the good, the bad and the very ugly of this mostly unsupervised state-run system. You'll likely be stunned to learn how easily someone can be conscripted into court control, and both they and their family often never see it coming.

Diane Dimond has enjoyed an award winning career in radio and television news. Her expertise is in the crime and justice genre and she is the author of four books. Dimond is probably best known for breaking the story of child molestation allegations against singer Michael Jackson in late 1993, and again in 2003, and following the story through the entertainer’s criminal trial in 2005. Dimond's book, "Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case," (Simon & Shuster/Atria 2005) is considered by many as the definitive work about the downfall of the superstar.Dimond's latest book, "We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong" (Brandeis University Press, Summer, 2023) focuses on the abusive and often criminal element within the nation's guardianship/conservatorship system. It is the culmination of her more than seven years of investigation. The Britney Spears case showed the public the failures of the system, but Dimond's book highlights the nationwide scandal as seen through the eyes of victims and their family members. Dimond’s six-part series in the Albuquerque Journal called “Who Guards the Guardians” won several awards including Best Investigation of 2016 from the Institute for American Studies (Stanford University.) As a news anchor on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, a Capitol Hill correspondent for the RKO Radio Networks, a correspondent for WCBS-TV in New York and the Senior Investigative correspondent for the syndicated program Hard Copy Dimond has built a reputation as a dogged investigative journalist. Her strength is in translating complicated stories and presenting them in conversational and understandable nuggets--be it on television, radio or in print. In 2008, Dimond began writing a weekly syndicated crime and justice column distributed by Creators. She has written for the Daily Beast, Newsweek, RealClear Investigations, Huffington Post, the New York Post, the Albuquerque Journal and other print publications.
