If only women could be unionized state employee group home workers!
A reader writes
The New York Times, after a year-long probe, reports that residents of New York’s group homes for the developmentally disabled — some of society’s most vulnerable citizens — routinely fall victim to physical and sexual abuse.
The abusers?
According to the newspaper, those responsible for the residents’ well-being — the state employees who staff the homes.
In 2009 alone, the Times reported, there were 13,000 allegations of abuse in state-operated and licensed homes — with fewer than 5 percent referred, as required by law, to the police.
When will the state of New York lift its medieval requirements for a male-only celibate pool of state employees that causes all of this?
