Governor Cuomo renamed and relocated the former Commission on Quality of Care (CQC) to continue to cover-up most reported crimes and deaths

DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For many decades New York State has treated the disabled and those struggling with mental illness as a sub class of human being, or in other terms the bottom of the barrel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbiYJkiX-Dg . Similar discrimination, civil rights violations and horrific treatment we have witnessed before. This is why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out and fought against such evil and such discrimination and gross injustices. Treating anyone lower in value or unequally is disgraceful and when it comes to denying a person immediate 911 medical and police assistance and services because you have a disability it is obviously discrimination and it is obviously extremely dangerous and deadly. This is what is going on in New York State and throughout our nation, the 911 call systems are being bypassed for this specific group of people in most cases when they live outside of their family home in residential facilities or group homes. Bypassing 911for the disabled almost always guarantees that all other local authorities in place to assist as well as ensure justice for everyone will be bypassed. As a direct result people with disabilities will be denied their “equal protection of laws” that they along with every other US citizen are promised in the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
Jonathan Carey, my son, was developmentally disabled and had autism and he was only 13 when he was killed by his caregivers in 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html - http://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html . Ever since, as Jonathan’s dad, I have been fighting for a law to require immediate and direct 911 reporting by mandated reporters, but this is the last thing New York State and many other States want. People with disabilities are human being, they are US citizens and they have the same equal right to 911 emergency medical and police services. This horrific practice of bypassing 911 allows the most heinous and egregious discrimination imaginable against a very large number of extremely vulnerable people, that in most cases cannot call 911 themselves. Excellent caregivers are vitally needed, but the ones in this type of job for other reasons that would physically or sexually abuse them or neglect them must be rooted out. People profiting and in many cases and actually using the disabled to enrich themselves or some of their friends and then provide unsafe care and services, these too must be rooted out.
Here lies the next major problem beyond the gross discrimination and unequal treatment of the disabled, the people at the top of the system believe they must hide the severe damages, injuries and deaths resulting from the gross negligence of care so that they can stay in business and keep their lucrative and unjust salaries. Politically connected people and entities are making massive amounts of money off the disabled, literally using them, and in most cases not getting them out into the community, but the exact opposite, hiding them from the community. The shameful, extremely negligent, discriminatory, and deadly New York State mental health care system must be exposed for what it really is. Most physical and sexual abuse and neglect of the disabled will never be witnessed and reported, yet over 7,000 calls on average are called into Governor Cuomo’s internal abuse and death hotline every month. Eleven to 12 deaths of people with disabilities are reported to this same fraudulent State agency every day on average and the acting Executive Director, Jay Kiyonaga, has directed in writing that the State and private provider agencies investigate deaths occurring in their own facilities. https://www.justicecenter.ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/JusticeCenterDeathReportingClarification12-17-15.pdf . Here is the exact quote, “State and private providers should continue to review/investigate deaths in their programs, unless informed otherwise by the Justice Center.” Governor Cuomo knows that there cannot be a greater conflict of interest and that this is a criminal obstruction of justice, but this is the agreement the State has with their providers which is to protect them and their employees from litigation. From the CQC/Justice Center website though it claims to be about protecting the disabled, about protecting those with special needs from abuse and neglect, but it really is about protecting the abusers and those providing negligent and unsafe care and services. Governor Cuomo’s fraudulent whitewash entity is about making almost all reported crimes, including criminally negligent deaths disappear.
Following the award winning New York Times “Abused & Used” massive investigative reporting series that exposed New York State’s extremely dangerous and deadly system, Governor Cuomo took every step imaginable to hide and conceal what is really happening behind closed doors http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/abused-and-used-series-page.html?_r=0 . Governor Cuomo took no immediate actions to protect the disabled from abuse or neglect or stop the further loss of innocent lives. Governor Cuomo removed all independent oversight including all legal law entities that were able to assist the disabled and go into these facilities and group homes at any time, except for one that he handpicked. Governor Cuomo selected Disability Advocates and Timothy Clune who worked for him when he was the Attorney General. Disability Advocates would also change their name to become Disability Rights New York or DRNY. As everyone knows to successfully cover-up very ugly and criminal matters you have to control everything and keep everything internal ensuring that 911 recorded calls or independent medical and police reports, medical examiner and coroner initial reports or autopsy reports are rarely generated. DRNY would be used primarily by the Cuomo administration to be complicit and silent as thousand of crimes would be and continue to be covered-up. God only really knows the real numbers of criminally negligent deaths covered up, the numbers are without question huge. DRNY is part of the cover-up scheme, only doing the bare minimum to give an appearance of legitimacy, when primarily looking the other way literally refusing to even request federal criminal and civil rights investigations to happen by US Attorney Preet Bharara and the US Department of Justice.
Governor Cuomo following the NY Times “Abused & Used’ series worked closely with the grossly negligent providers to concoct the scheme to rename and relocate the CQC with decades history of covering –up almost everything reported to them. The cover-up scheme and purposes are the exact same, but magnified or on steroids, keeping almost all reported crimes and deaths from 911, from local police, from local emergency medical personnel, from County elected District Attorney’s, from Medical Examiners and Coroners, from being looked at through penal laws, to keep cases from local courts and judges . The agreement that New York State has with its provider agencies which they call their “coherent oversight scheme” and their “carefully cultivated understanding” regarding making sure documents and evidence won’t be used against them is therefore fulfilled https://world.einnews.com/pr_news/345437444/gov-cuomo-s-justice-center-withholding-deaths-crimes-from-da-s . All along though this is what is clearly defined as a criminal conspiracy. It is not solely about protecting entities and employees providing negligent services from litigation alone, it is also about protecting them from criminal prosecution. Governor Cuomo changed the level to determine abuse internally from “some credible evidence” which it was and always should be to protect our most vulnerable to a “preponderance of evidence” which is a considerably higher standard. This was done to protect the abusers and the criminals, the State and private provider agencies, not the disabled. To lock up the cover-up scheme rock solid other State agency top officials either appointed by Governor Cuomo or the Attorney General himself, who legally represents and protects the Governor, would have to be on board and protect and shield him and his fraudulent whitewash CQC/Justice Center and that is exactly what they are doing http://www.dailyjournal.net/2016/09/19/ny-protecting-the-disabled/ . The New York State Inspector General, currently Catherine Leahy Scott, has refused to investigate Governor Cuomo or his CQC/Justice Center, she has refused to request in writing for a Special Prosecutor to be assigned and she has refused to request the appropriate outside federal criminal investigations of Governor Cuomo and other top State officials involved. The exact same refusals for all three of these requests by the former New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico. The new State Police Superintendent George Beach, who was recently appointed by Governor Cuomo, tragically appears to be following in same footsteps to his predecessor. Many documents clearly documenting State and Federal criminal activity including the purpose withholding of crimes from and deaths from local DA’s, which is obstruction of justice have gone ignored allowing these greater crimes and atrocities to continue, costing many other innocent children and adults with disabilities their lives. An official document obtained through a FOIL request with specific names of people with disabilities that died recently, where abuse and neglect was involved, that were covered-up by Cuomo’s CQC/Justice Center were given to Superintendent Beach. To date, he still has not requested an outside criminal investigation by US Attorney Preet Bharara’s. Attorney General Schneiderman, since he became the Attorney General in 2011 has been aware of these criminal practices and gross discrimination in civil rights. Attorney General Schneiderman is protecting and shielding Governor Cuomo and his fraudulent whitewash entity and many other top State officials involved. Attorney General Schneiderman is ignoring the safety, health, rights and lives of upwards of 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities in extreme danger.
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. No longer can 911 be bypassed, 911 call systems must 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 has stopped breathing. http://jonathancareyfoundation.org/donate/
