Protective Service Agency

REFERRAL AGENCY:

BOMB THREATS WERE MADE TO THE FACILITY ON 03/08/2005, 03/09/2005 AND 03/10/2005. RESIDENTS WERE EVACUATED FROM THE FACILITY. 911 EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE CONTACTED. A POTENTIAL SUSPECT HAS BEEN LOCATED OUT OF STATE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO IMMEDIATE THREAT OF HARM TO THE RESIDENTS. AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN.

IT IS ALLEGED THAT ALV IS BEING RESTRAINED TOO TIGHTLY AND BEING SHOCKED BY ALABS. ALV IS ON A LEVEL 2 BEHAVIOR PLAN THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE SHOCK. ALV IS AFRAID AND REPORTS LIGHTHEADEDNESS AND "FEELS LIKE HE IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK". (REDACTED) HAD OBSERVED A MARKED DECLINE IN FUNCTION OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WITH SYMPTOMS OF FORGETFULNESS AND ADLS.

WHILE THE AL AB WAS A 1:1 STAFF WORKING WITH THE AL V, HE ESCORTED THE AL V TO THE BATHROOM. THE AL AB WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE BATHROOM STALL DOOR OPEN, HOWEVER THE AL V WAS ABLE TO ENTER AND LOCK THE STALL. WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED, THE AL V BROKE THE CERAMIC LID TO THE TOILET, AND SOMEHOW RECEIVED A CUT TO HIS SHIN, WHICH REQUIRED STITCHES.

THE ALV GETS SHOCKS FOR STANDING UP, RAISING HIS HAND AND ASKING POLITELY TO USE THE BATHROOM. THIS BEHAVIOR IS CALLED AGGRESSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE ALV, MORE THAN ONCE,THE RATIONALE THAT IS EXPLAINED TO PARENTS AND JUDGES ARE THAT THE ALV IS GETTING OF THE THE ALV'S SEAT TO ATTACK OTHERS.

THE ALABS WILL RUN AT THE ALV WITH PLASTIC KNIVES AND FORCEFULLY TRY TO SHOVE THEM DOWN ALV'S THROAT. THEY WILL YELL AT ALV WHEN DOING THIS. THIS IS REPORTED TO BE TO TRY AND STOP THE ALV FROM HAVING SUICIDAL IDEATIONS. THIS IS ALLEGED TO BE COURT APPROVED. THE ALV SCREAMS IN FEAR. THE ALV CAN BE WORKING APPROPRIATELY AT THE ALV'S WORK STATION. THE ALV NEVER KNOWS WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR.

THE ALV REPORTS THAT HE FELL IN THE FACILITY WHEN HE WAS "DISTRACTED". HE FELL AND FEELS CERTAIN HE FRACTURED HIS HIP. THE ALABS ARE REFUSING TO GET ANY MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THE ALV. THE ALAB'S WILL NOT ALLOW THE ALV TO CALL 911 EITHER. (Staff of the facility, including an RN, witnessed the fall, and stated no treatment was needed for the AL V, as it appears that he is manufacturing his falls.)

ALV is the subject of "ongoing institutionalized child abuse". ALV is placed in bat wings, handcuffs and leg restraints at the same time during transport. ALV is also restrained in various ways while sitting in a chair that administers electric shock, and she is completely violated by not being permitted to use bathroom facilities in private. Staff are directed to call the school monitoring division before contacting ALV's clinician in the event of certain instances, such as a life-threatening illness, major disturbance or death.

ALV WILL GET A HIGH FEVER DUE TO LOSS OF HIS SPLEEN. AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH, 2007, ALV DEVELOPED A HIGH FEVER(REDACTED) AND THE PROGRAM DID NOT FOLLOW DOCTOR'S RECOMMENDATION. AS A RESULT ALV WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 6 DAYS AND 5 NIGHTS. THREE DAYS AGO, ALV HAD A HIGH FEVER(REDACTED) AND (REDACTED) RECOMMENDED TYLENOL, INSTEAD OF ANTIBIOTIC THAT ALV'S DOCTOR RECOMMENDED. ALV WAS PLACED ON LOSS OF PRIVILEGES FOR REPORTING THIS INCIDENT .

ACCORDING TO THE REPORTER, THE ALV WAS RESTRAINED AFTER USING A TOILET LID AS A WEAPON. WHAT PROMPTED THE AGGRESSION IS UNDISCLOSED. THE ALV NEEDED TO BE RESTRAINED, AND SUSTAINED A "BUSTED & BRUISED" THUMB. THE ALV ALSO SUSTAINED BRUISES TO BOTH SHOULDERS AND CUTS AND BRUISES TO HIS RIGHT FOREARM

THE REPORTER STATES THAT THE ALV WAS TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION OF A STAFF IN THE CLASSROOM SETTING. THE ALV WAS SHOCKED, ACCORDING TO THE REPORTER, WITHOUT A JUSTIFIED REASON.

ALV DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. INCIDENT WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE.

THE AL AB WAS SUPERVISING THE AL V'S CLASSROOM ON 6/1/08. THE AL AB OBSERVED 2 MALE STUDENTS ENGAGING IN SEXUAL ACTS ON THE AL V AND DID NOT STOP THEM. THE AL AB ALSO SEXUALLY TOUCHED THE AL V. ALV WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON 1:1, BUT ALV'S 1:1 WAS TOLD SHE WAS NOT NEEDED AND SHE WAS DISMISSED; UNKNOWN BY WHOM.
