DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- U.S. Department of Justice Must Stop Discrimination of Disabled
The Jonathan Carey Foundation www.jonathancareyfoundation.org was established after the horrific death of 13 year old Jonathan Michael Carey, to assist all people with disabilities and to help ensure their equal rights. Jonathan had autism, he was developmentally disabled, non verbal and was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from child abuse that he suffered at the hands of his caregivers at the Anderson School, now called the Anderson Center for Autism. Staff and all caregivers who witnessed and had knowledge of Jonathan’s abuses, as well as injuries, and all that he suffered never called 911, although they were all mandated reporters.
Jonathan suffered horrific abuse, neglect and maltreatment at Anderson. Jonathan was withheld food and meals for “behavior modification” when he did not put on his shirt. Jonathan was secluded and unlawfully imprisoned by his caregivers and blocked in his room for extended periods of time. Jonathan’s bedroom was made into like a prison cell. Jonathan was literally bruised head to toe with dozens of bruises all over his body. Jonathan’s toes across the top of both feet were raw where his skin was ripped off, where he must have been grabbed by both shoulders by staff and dragged along pavement. It is important to remember, 911 was never called by anyone that knew, as if Jonathan was not a normal human being worthy of 911 emergency first responder medical or police assistance because he was disabled when he was a victim of crimes and physically harmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf4JxtSRygY
Two New York State agencies had full knowledge of the rampant abuse of autistic children at Anderson and chose to cover everything up again. These two State agencies, the Commission on Quality of Care, now called the Justice Center, and OMRDD, now called OPWDD, did nothing to protect approximately 135 other children with autism in danger. State agencies and State officials knew all along full well that for the two years prior Anderson accounted for a staggering 73% of the indicated cases of child abuse of autistic children. http://autismschoolabuse.com/Abuse_at_Anderson_School.html
It was because the State of New York chose to protect the Anderson School and their abusive staff they would never publicly acknowledge that Jonathan was abused and never notified the local police and District Attorney. This is how the cover-up scheme works and it all starts by keeping 911 from being called and local police and independent medical personnel and District Attorney’s out of the picture. It was because the State of New York would not assist us as a family to successfully keep Jonathan home, Jonathan went into another residential facility close to our home called OD Heck Developmental Center a year later. There were some suspicious facial injuries that Jonathan sustained, but we were always told Jonathan must have fallen or Jonathan did this or that. Later, after Jonathan was killed we found out that the man that killed Jonathan was alone with him a number of times when Jonathan was injured and 911 was never called. Jonathan died on February 15, 2007, Jonathan was suffocated to death and once again no one called 911 immediately. http://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html
When the 911 call systems are purposefully bypassed for people with disabilities they are being discriminated against and it is “discrimination in civil rights.” When 911 call systems are bypassed people with disabilities cannot receive swift emergency medical and police assistance within minutes like for anyone else. Police criminal investigations cannot occur if they are not notified, nor the proper evidence collection and retention. Victim and witness testimony cannot be taken or documented by local police. Even the mandated reporter is unable to speak with independent local authorities. Vital independent police and medical written reports cannot be generated. Evidence that could be used in any civil or criminal actions for some measure of justice is purposefully not obtained. In most alleged criminal cases County elected District Attorney’s will never be notified and even if notified later there is no evidence to prosecute most of these heinous crimes. Obviously, most reported and witnessed crimes against the disabled will never see a courtroom. It is because of all these egregious civil rights violations there is no way a disabled child or adult living in residential care facilities and group homes can have their same right to “equal protection of laws.”
It is also because of these gross injustices and New York State’s direct opposition to end this discrimination that the Jonathan Carey Foundation on its “Civil Rights Walk for the Disabled” is pleading the case with the U.S. Department of Justice. http://www.metro.us/philadelphia/bereaved-dad-battles-for-911-law-for-people-with-disabilities/zsJpha---4oSnjGxZ0qFUI/ The Jonathan Carey Foundation and Michael Carey, Jonathan’s father, are seeking federal investigations and swift intervention to end decades of horrific and deadly discrimination of our most vulnerable. No longer can New York State or any State within our great country treat people with disabilities as a lower class citizen denying them their Constitutional right to “equal protection of laws, under the 14th Amendment. The legal case is without question one of gross discrimination against people with disabilities that no one can deny. Here is the language taken directly from the U.S. Department of Justice website. https://www.justice.gov/crt
CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, created in 1957 by the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, works to uphold the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans, particularly some of the most vulnerable members of our society. The Division enforces federal statutes prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, disability, religion, familial status and national origin.
I rest my case.
Stand with us for “equal rights” and “civil rights” for people with disabilities in New York State and throughout our great country by signing our petition at www.jonathancareyfoundation.org. Consider a donation of $9.11 to help 911 become required by law to be immediately called by all mandated reporters regarding all physical and sexual assaults, gross negligence of care, significant and suspicious injuries and when a person with a disability is in medical distress or stopped breathing all together. http://jonathancareyfoundation.org/donate/
It is hard to fathom such levels of discrimination still exists over 50 years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. began fighting for civil and equal rights, but it does. Jonathan in an entirely different way suffered and died for a great cause which is to help many other innocent and extremely vulnerable people. Jonathan died at the age of 13 because he was disabled and because he was denied immediate 911 first responder medical and police assistance. Jonathan was in dire need of help, he was ignored, he was shunned and Jonathan was discriminated against and as a direct result he was killed. These egregious human rights, civil rights and equal rights violations can be stopped and great changes can happen when people begin to speak up and stand up against such injustices. Countless lives will be saved if we do.
