There is no more time for political games; Mayor de Blasio said he would help get 9-1-1 for the disabled, if he remains silent many more will die

DELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It is NOT over yet. We have time still today to save many lives from dying prematurely simply because they did not get 9-1-1 emergency assistance and services, like 13 year old Jonathan Carey who had autism who was denied immediate 9-1-1 medical and police services https://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html and

This is from today's New York Times story where Mayoral Control is the top story, but what about people with disabilities that are being treated unequally and not being provided 9-1-1 assistance and services in New York City and throughout New York State? “Another parent familiar with grief, Michael Carey, was urging lawmakers to require those who work with the physically and mentally disabled to call 911 for patients who are in medical distress or are the victim of a physical or sexual assault, among other things. His son, Jonathan Carey, who had autism, was asphyxiated while being restrained by a state employee in a van outside Albany in 2007. “I’ve been fighting for this for 10 years,” Mr. Carey said.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/28/nyregion/potential-deal-in-albany-on-mayoral-control-of-schools.html?rref=collection%2Fbyline%2Flisa-w.-foderaro&action=click&contentCollection=undefined&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection

Potential Deal in Albany on Mayoral Control of Schools
www.nytimes.com
No votes have been taken during the special session convened by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday, and thus any agreement was tentative.

As Jonathan’s father, I have begged for help from Mayor Bill de Blasio to get 9-1-1 services for the disabled in person twice and many times with his staff. I have traveled to New York City from the Albany area to meet with his top staff including one of the New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioners on the fact that people with disabilities living outside of their family home in care facilities and group homes are be treated unequally, they are being discriminated against and that they are in most cases not receiving 9-1-1 assistance and services. The number one known reasons for deaths of the developmentally and intellectually disabled is staff NOT calling 9-1-1.

There is a Critical 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill that has massive bi-partisan support in both the NYS Senate and Assembly, but where is Mayor Bill de Blasio? Why is the Mayor who told me that he would help me get 9-1-1 for the disabled nowhere to be found and silent and even complicit as precious New York City residents with disabilities are dying because no one bothers to call 9-1-1 when they are choking or in medical distress? The Mayor wants control over NYC schools, but has the direct responsibility to ensure 9-1-1 medical and police assistance and services are for everyone, which includes our most vulnerable children and adults with disabilities. I have also been told that the Mayor’s wife is a champion for mental health issues, so what the hell is going on?

Mayor de Blasio can insist of the Speaker Heastie and Senator Flanagan for the sake of those within the New York City limits, minimally, that 9-1-1 services which is a basic Civil Right must be provided NYC residents with disabilities. He stand up and speak out and insist that the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill must be voted on today. Many will die within New York City alone if this vital bill is not voted on and passed. Speaker Heastie is from NYC and some of the highest death counts of the disabled are in the Bronx and Queens. Both Speaker Heastie and Senate Majority leader Flanagan can easily open a regular session and ensure the vote and passage of this CRITICAL legislation if only Mayor Bill de Blasio steps up to the plate and speaks out for the disabled and their equal rights. Leaders lead, they do not sit on their ass and remain silent as innocent children and adults are dying. Speaker Heastie promised that when 76 Assembly members were signed on as co-sponsors he would bring the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill to the floor for a vote, there are 76 Democrats signed on and 112 Assembly members in total. The question is will Mayor Bill de Blasio and Speaker Heastie, both of New York City honor their word to me, Jonathan’s dad, for the 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities and their families that I represent, advocate for and serve?

The number one known and documented reason, as well as number two and three known reasons for these deaths, all surround NOT CALLING 9-1-1 according to DRNY the current federal watchdog agency . The 9-1-1 Civil Rights Bill this rectifies this systemic and deadly failure.

When it comes to crimes being committed against a disabled person, physical and sexual assault crimes, they cannot be kept from 9-1-1 and local authorities any longer. Calling a CORRUPT Justice Center, which is a State agency, with a direct conflict of interest, which is NOT a first responder and NOT notifying local police, DA's or even Medical Examiners and Coroners of most crimes and deaths is not working. This fraudulent State entity under Governor Cuomo’s control is regularly Obstructing Justice and denying the disabled in most cases their NYS and US Constitutional Rights to "equal protection of laws."

The Justice Center "special prosecutor" has been deemed to be operating unconstitutionally by both Attorney General Schneiderman and State Supreme Court Justice Breslin. This individual is still handling rape and death cases as if it still fine - this person is NOT an elected District Attorney, but a State employee that has kept MOST reported crimes and deaths from local authorities. The Justice Center is covering up horrendous and staggering numbers of crimes, including criminally negligent homicides.

It is deadly DISCRIMINATION to continue to deny 1,000,000 New Yorkers that live outside of their family home 9-1-1 emergency medical and police assistance and services. Mayor de Blasio, Speaker Heastie and Senator Flanagan, this is not about protecting Governor Cuomo or his corrupt wrongfully named Justice Center any longer. Let's end this horrific CIVIL RIGHTS TRAGEDY and TRAVESTY and fix what should have been fixed following Willowbrook and certainly following the award winning New York Times award winning investigative reporting series that was a runner up for a Pulitzer Prize that revealed these horrors. The NY Times series is called “Abused & Used” for a distinct reason, our most vulnerable are being abused and used http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/abused-and-used-series-page.html. Mayor de Blasio you can step up to the plate now and be a voice for the voiceless, it is not too late, countless innocent and precious lives are at stake. The swift passage of the 9-1-1 Civil Rights Reform Bill is within sight and countless innocent lives can be saved if you only take immediate actions as the Mayor of New York City who has leadership over 8.5 million souls of which approximately 510,000 are people with disabilities whom are being discriminated against because they are being denied 9-1-1 medical and police services in New York City.
