This corruption of the worst kind must be stopped. Federal criminal and civil rights investigations and arrests must happen soon to help end these horrors, atrocities and the massive fraud. New York State had another opportunity following the NY Times award winning "Abused & Used" investigative reporting series, but chose the exact opposite and took dramatic steps to cover-up more criminal cases and deaths than ever. Many people involved in these heinous crimes need to be prosecuted swiftly.

OPWDD is a federally funded agency that unjustly remains exempt from adhering to ADA standards! This is a politically protected/zero transparency NYS agency. The agency's longstanding, proven corruption, continuously breeds off of the backs of people who live with disabilities. Many of whom cannot speak up for themselves. Please help correct this severe and deplorable violation of the Human Rights Law/s!!

Many points in this email and educating the public is a good thing the part that really gets me is how low paid direct care staff get for thier hard workin private sector really seriously under paid while CEO of NON-PROFITs get huge yeah FUCILLIO.. HUGE SALARIES...Shameful to say the least

I have a mentally challenged sister that has lived in a state home for years. Lisa lived at home for the first 20-years of her life. My mom, having nine kids had a hard time as Lisa got older and stronger. My mom and dad made a decision to allow their daughter to be admitted to a state owned home in Wilton years ago. We were so ashamed going to visit her and seeing her on a soiled mattress covered with her own urine. Today she lives in a much nicer home in Kingsbury. I used to go pick her up for a cup of coffee. We couldn't talk to each other but I could see the love in her eyes. Today I don't feel comfortable visiting my sister. Luckily I still get to see her once a month when they bring her to my mom's to visit. I used to be her advocate when I was the Executive Director of a Non-For-Profit. At one time I requested that Lisa would be taken to a gynecologist to see if she was still a virgin. Never happened. We requested that male staff not be allowed to work with my sister on the overnight shift. That got ignored. I being a horse lover as is my sister, asked if her budget would allow her to take lessons as a volunteer at a local local horse rescue organization. Never happened. I cry about my sister sometimes and wish I had the resources to bring her home so my wonderful wife Sonia and I could take care of her. I am ashamed to live in a state as an Air Force Veteran that don't take care of their own. Honorable Governor Como, please realize that if you had a disabled brother or sister you would propose legislation that any person in state custody be afforded the same respect as any human being residing in the great State of New York. Sincerely, Ed Harder Hadley, NY.

Perfectly Said!

This is inhumane treatment of human beings
