The silence of DRNY Executive Director Clune and DRNY top officials has been deafening.

DRNY is without question working closely with the State of New York and it is not protecting 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities, but Governor Cuomo and the negligent provider agencies.

DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New York Oversight Entity for Disabled Protecting Cuomo Not the Disabled
Disability Rights New York (DRNY) which was formerly called Disability Advocates was handpicked by Governor Cuomo for a reason, they would be a “team player” and they would protect him and his agencies. After the federal government said that New York’s Oversight system was not independent from the State, the Cuomo administration simply had to figure out who would primarily remain silent and protect him and his agencies involved in wrongdoing. The perfect choice would be easy, a former employee of Attorney General Cuomo, named Timothy Clune. Mr. Clune would be the perfect choice because for a very large salary, close to Governor Cuomo’s salary, his silence could be purchased and that is exactly what has happened.
Over the course of the last 3 years there have been over 250,000 calls reported to Cuomo’s abuse hotline for the disabled and only a miniscule number of arrests, less than 350. The question is; what has been happening regarding most of these reported crimes and deaths? The silence of DRNY Executive Director Clune and DRNY top officials has been deafening. The answer is that most reported criminal matters are being funneled back to the State and private provider agencies from Cuomo’s abuse hotline, kept from local police and from independent criminal investigations and allowed by the State to be internally covered-up. DRNY has full knowledge of these illegal and regular practices, yet has failed to take critical steps to protect the disabled.
People with disabilities in New York State are supposed to be provided safe care and services that are free from abuse and neglect, freedom from financial exploitation and freedom from human rights violations. Tragically, though, New York State is in violation of all three of these federal laws, but when you own the supposed oversight entity, DRNY, you can hide almost anything. Thankfully, you can only hide so much, for so long, and right now many very dark things are surfacing through multiple reputable news outlets including the Associated Press and BuzzFeed.

As the founder of the Jonathan Carey Foundation, during these last three years, I have requested and pleaded for the assistance of DRNY to protect and save countless lives of precious people with disabilities to no avail. Executive Director Clune and all DRNY top officials refused to seek appropriate federal investigations and have looked the other way. I have requested that DRNY officials write both the U.S. Department of Justice seeking a federal civil rights investigation and U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara requesting a federal criminal investigation, but they would not. Over a dozen of my requests of DRNY to make written requests for these appropriate federal authorities to investigate and swiftly intervene have been outright denied or completely ignored.
After multiple AP News investigative reports revealing serious problems with Cuomo’s abuse hotline, including multiple deaths not reported where abuse and neglect was involved DRNY is now attempting to protect itself. Multiple deaths were not reported, as required by law, to the Suffolk County District Attorney or Medical Examinerhttp://bigstory.ap.org/article/27b17232ed3c41d1b79db9c444e0e484/new-protocol-agency-sent-death-reports-nowhere What surfaced in Suffolk County is only the tip of the iceberg of what is happening throughout New York State. DRNY has now come out publicly calling for the Justice Center to be removed from Governor Cuomo’s control and given into the NYS Attorney General’s control which is absurd and another attempt to keep everything internal. https://www.buzzfeed.com/benhattem/legislators-and-advocates-call-for-overhaul-of-justice-cente?utm_term=.xbJ9MJ97Y#.avQR1oR9M The Attorney General and his office legally represent the State of New York and all State officials; this is another direct conflict of interest and is completely unacceptable. This is an attempt by DRNY not only to keep its State contract and for Executive Director Clune to keep his lucrative salary, but to still keep everything within house and in State control. DRNY is without question working closely with the State of New York and it is not protecting 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities, but Governor Cuomo and the negligent provider agencies. Simple federal investigations of what is and is not happening regarding most of the sexual assaults and deaths reported numbering in the many thousands will send many top NYS officials to federal prison. Public corruption, fraud and criminal conspiracy are all serious federal crimes. DRNY’s overwhelming silence when it has had full knowledge of thousands of crimes including staggering numbers of deaths being purposefully covered-up reveals its direct involvement.
The Jonathan Carey Foundation just finished its “Civil Rights Walk for the Disabled” to Washington D.C. seeking federal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice. At the same time, official news broke about DRNY making a public announcement that it had written the U.S. Department of Justice for a polling problem regarding people with disabilities. DRNY made a written request to the U.S. Department of Justice http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/266076/disability-group-says-rensselaer-county/ and went as far as shooting a U Tube video for a polling issue, but has refused to do so for the blatant discriminatory and deadly practices of bypassing 911, bypassing local police, bypassing County elected District Attorney’s, bypassing medical examiners and coroners, bypassing New York State laws and bypassing local courts on a regular basis? These discriminatory practices according to laws constitute criminal conspiracy, obstruction of justice, fraud and public corruption of the worst kind. These crimes and intentional cover-ups are allowing countless innocent children and adults to be severely injured or die, which in many cases would have been prevented if only 911 was called. DRNY knows that all citizens are promised “equal protection of laws” under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, yet has ignored 1,000,000 disabled New Yorkers rights to “equal protection of laws.” DRNY must be also investigated by the federal authorities.
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/
