Whorlton Hall: Hospital ‘abused’ vulnerable adults
By Nick Triggle Health correspondent – 22 May 2019
This article details abuse of YOUNG Disabled Adults
Connor Sparrowhawk.
He, like Casey, had learning disabilities – and epilepsy.
He died alone from a seizure
Why?
He was taking a bath at an NHS unit in Oxford in 2013 – ALONE.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust admitted breaching health and safety law.
A fine levied for £2m for the deaths of Mr Sparrowhawk and another patient, 45-year-old Teresa Colvin, who died in Hampshire in 2012.
NOW the deaths of people like Casey are monitored. Routinely.
Concerns about care provided in more than one in 10 cases found.
Casey is not alone
Below – a video.
A YOUNG Disable adult.
Beaten in a group home.
Family uses hidden camera to capture abuse of disabled loved one
Paul Stanizzi was hospitalized.
He returned to the group home.
BUT
A hidden camera is installed in his room IN THE GROUP HOME!
By his family! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
PROOF!
ON VIDEO!
PUBLIC visitations allowed for Casey only. Why?
NO PICTURES? Why?
ARE THEY AFRAID?
WHY ?
An estimated 12% of Americans have some form of disability
94% are adults over the age of 18.
Millions of these disabled adults are at risk of mental, physical, or financial abuse.
Abuse of disabled adults is punishable by law
Yet –
No lawyer in Nevada will Help Casey
Why?
Disability abuse can happen in ANY age group
Abuse and exploitation are constant dangers for people with developmental disabilities.
People with developmental disabilities are at greatest risk of abuse
and –
Tend to be abused more frequently.
Abused people with disabilities are doubly silenced –
No one knows who they are
The hurt and harm they experience
Unknown
NOT understood
NOT taken seriously.
Explore the Problem
Like Casey.
Connor.
Teresa.
Paul.
Casey is NOT alone.
