ReplyDeleteI wonder how many complaints it took to finally get some action at this facility.
ReplyDeleteIf they confined patients to the attic and/or basement, then they should be prosecuted and hopefully sent away to prison.
ReplyDeleteMore and more of these stories are coming out and I'm glad to see the exposure, and horrified every time too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Chapman, but every employee who participated in the abuse. They all need to be held accountable.
ReplyDeleteHas the state been watching this facility or was this all a shock?
ReplyDeleteI bet they've known for a while or have received enough complaints that they should have known.
Yes, the state has been fully aware as many complaints were made. The "red tape" allowed the abuse to continue.
