THE stories of repeated sexual assaults of women with severe developmental disabilities in an El Monte adult day-care center and facilities for the disabled throughout the region are sickening but not surprising.
The disability community is all too familiar with mandated reporters who don't report, facility administrators who cover up, law enforcement agencies that don't respond, agencies that don't cooperate and bungle cases, district attorneys who think they are too much trouble to prosecute, judges who disregard testimony by witnesses with disabilities. These problems are far from universal, but everyone in the system knows they are real.

[...] early on and or the record: the facilities for disabled youths on the St. Agnes Hospital campus in White Plains never closed and remain at their same North Street location, helping 300 day students--about a 50-50 split between those who go to school there and those who receive home-based services--move through their educations and nearly 4,000 more who use the health care programs of the associated rehabilitation renter. The misperception the John A. Coleman School and twin Children's Rehabilitation Center have closed arises from the location at 317 North St. in White Plains, on the St. Agnes Hospital campus, now otherwise transitioning to a mixed-use, assisted-living facility.
