stop treating people like criminals when all they want is the loved one safe
 

It is criminal what the state gets away with paying live-ins to provide the state's most affordable one-on-one care service.  These live-ins have no benefits, do not make a decent salary, or have a chance at a career.  Live-ins care and shouldn't be treated as criminals; the only criminal here is the state demanding more and more from live-ins until there is nothing left to give; until they are forced to stop caring.  Stop demanding more from live-ins and follow the federal government example and exempt live-ins.  They are not criminals, and they are not guilty until proven innocent.
