Florida Neglects Disabled Children


Recommended Posts

This is criminal behavior and a lot worse than pedophilia! This is the man Ron DeSantis is: Tossing physically handicapped children into institutions because it’s cheaper than providing the legally-required in-home care they are entitled to. This breaks up families. 

“Florida kept disabled kids in institutions. A judge is sending them home.
 

Cayden Armour has lived most of his life in a Florida nursing home, where his father said the disabled 9-year-old was often left alone in his room, sitting in soiled diapers for hours. Cayden, who has multiple medical complications after nearly drowning as an infant, is one of many children in Florida who have been separated from their families and institutionalized rather than getting state-provided at-home care. Now, a federal judge has ruled that Florida has been unlawfully segregating children with complex medical needs and putting other disabled children at risk of unnecessary institutionalization. The judge, who issued the ruling Friday, said that by failing to provide Medicaid services that would pay for private nursing care and allow children to live in home settings, the state was in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Parents of disabled children described a broken system in which they often felt forced to send their children to nursing homes because they couldn’t get reliable state-provided home care. Once institutionalized, the children were neglected; frequently hospitalized with infections; and left in soiled diapers for hours, crying and depressed, their families told The Post.”

The Governor has children too, don't you have any shame equating him with being against disabled 9-year-olds? Is this how low Gavin Newsom's soldiers need to go because he is not man enough to run? 

Actions speak louder than words. 
This isn’t about California or Gavin Newsom. He has nothing to do with this.

So… this article just broke. DeSantis is the Governor of Florida.  He has supermajority control of his legislature. He can definitely step forward and say, “I had no idea this was happening! I’m firing the people who permitted this and asking the Legislature for the Medicaid funding needed to give these poor children the in-home care they need so they can stay with their families and avoid this awful neglect!”

Will he do that? Of course not! Only a decent human being with a sense of ethics and morality would do such a thing, not an egotistical narcissist who sees public office only as a means to seize ever-greater power. But I’d love to see the man surprise me.

Here you go. Learn about your shltty governor’s mistreatment of disabled children, as young as four years old, from the US Department of Justice:

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/court-finds-state-florida-violates-americans-disabilities-act-institutionalizing-children

Court Finds State of Florida Violates the Americans with Disabilities Act By Institutionalizing Children with Disabilities

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled on Friday that the State of Florida violates the rights of children with complex medical needs by keeping some children unnecessarily institutionalized in nursing facilities, while placing other children at serious risk of unnecessary institutionalization.

Following a two-week bench trial in May, the court found that the children in nursing facilities are capable of living in the community. Based on the testimony of experts and family members during the trial, the court also found that parents and guardians of institutionalized children overwhelmingly want their children to live at home, but that they have not been given meaningful options other than institutional placement. The court’s decision, coming after nearly a decade of litigation, marks a major turning point in the treatment of children with disabilities in Florida and vindicates their right to community integration.

The court heard from many families who struggled desperately to keep their children at home despite a lack of services, and others who had no choice but to place their children in nursing homes because they could not get the help they needed.

You get dumber every day. It's like the meth is really taking an effect on you.

There is FoxNews. It is a separate and independent cable news source, (and one so accurate that only Downs Syndrome people would call it Fox lies.)

Then there is the Fox TV network. There are actual TV shows on Fox Network. Local news is carried on all the regular TV networks.

This is the actual FoxNews story, and it DOESN'T mention our great Governor.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/justice-department-sues-florida-over-disabled-kids-in-nursing-homes

If you wonder why it doesn't mention Governor DeSantis, perhaps you should grow a fcking BRAIN.

This lawsuit was filed by the KENYAN VILLAGE IDI0T administration (Obama) In 2015, and Ric Scott was Governor of Florida.

You are truly BLUE STATE FCKING STUPID.

You are truly too stupid to understand that FOS LIES paid $780,000,000 damages because they LIED their asses off about Trump's "steal." 

Thanks for demonstrating AGAIN how deep YOU ARE IN DENIAL.

Oh, please enlighten us!!!

With this lawsuit pending, did the new Governor DeSantis do anything about it? Did he get these innocent children the card they desperately needed?

 

Proof that YOU ARE COMPLETELY FULL OF SH1T. Pedophilia is “such a big deal,” because you “care about the children.” But now, faced with solid, actual, Fox News proof that the DeSantis Administration allowed this clear disabled child abuse to continue for FOUR SOLID YEARS, you want to blame everybody except for the ONE MAN who could have put a stop to it, Ron DeSantis.  YOU ARE SO FULL OF SH1T. 
 

You have no morals. You don’t care about children. You have no sense of right and wrong. You think Abortion is awful yet you defend putting 4 year-olds away just because it’s cheaper than having them live with their loving parents. It’s 100% about politics to you. Your “team” winning. Got news for you, sucker: Your “team” doesn’t give a shlt about you, except getting your vote.  You don’t care about disabled children, and neither does DeSantis, and if he doesn’t care about innocent 4 year-old disabled kids, he sure doesn’t care about you.

I'm not faced with any solid FoxNews proof, you ignorant fck. The article I  posted FROM FOXNEWS dates back to 2016, you mor0n. And you haven't cited any FoxNews article that suggests anything happening today. Fox4 is local news from a Fox network in the small town of Cape Coral. If you didn't have reading skills inferior to Downs Syndrome infants, you might have read that part of my post.

As far as disabled children goes, YOU LYING NAZI FCK, I have a history of subbing for many ESE classes in the system, which would include emotionally damaged, autistic, and THOSE WHO REMIND ME OF YOU,THE DOWNS SYNDROME BUNCh. (Except the latter isn't as STUPID as you are.) I'm around the teachers who have to deal with them, (including a 5th grade girl socially promoted  even though she  is unable to count past 20, and probably she's smarter than the blue state schools that socially promoted your ignorant a$$

You're just a LIAR and you have been caught in a LIE.

Crawl back under your rock,TROLL.

The US Department of Justice is my source. Go read the judicial ruling if you want. Your governor abused these children by subjecting them to these awful conditions for four years, and you’re calling me a Nazi because I’m showing you proof of actual chid abuse in your state.

You haven't cited ANYTHING from the  US Department of Justice, you LYING TWIT.

Your only source is a failing left wing opinion rag, that is less reliable than the National Enquirer.

Governor DeSantis has PREVENTED damage not only to disabled children but to  healthy children as well, by sending those child trafficking ILLEGAL ALIEN ANIMALS to Martha's Vineyard.

But you want child traffickers in Florida, so I guess you support them.

Crawl back under your rock,TROLL.

IN FACT you accused Rebound of LYING, too. Thus it is YOU who LIED ^HERE. LMAO

Your governor was in office during the LAST FOUR and a HALF Years while the suit was BEING DECIDED.

What did HE DO to correct the PROBLEM that the JUDGE FOUND was a VIOLATION?

I'm betting you will present NOTHING, because DeSantis is just as big an a-hole as Scott. Probably bigger.

Do you know that you're responding to a Jewish man?

If ANYONE would know about "Joe" gassing Jews, it would be Rebound.

The FACT IS, YOU ARE LYING, AGAIN.

First of all, I don't take religion or race into account when I put idi0ts in their place here. I'm an equal opportunity educator.  I don't care if you are a Jew, a Muslim, A Christian, A Hindu, an Atheist, it's irrelevant to political discussions, unless the discussions are about religion.

Secondly, Unelected Joe and the IDI0TS who elected him are NATIONAL SOCIALISTS, which means they are neo Nazis.

Last time the Nazis were in power, Jews got gassed.

(It's that little known thing called WORLD HISTORY, that you liberals missed by dropping out of the third grade in an inferior blue state public school.)

I don't care if I'm talking to a Jewish man or not. I KNOW I'm talking to a STUPID man. And you NAZIS have hurled plenty of insults at THIS Jewish man,

Inside the mind of Ben Shapiro, a radical conservative

so you have NO FCKING ROOM TO TALK, Fraulien.

You are a LIAR.

And don't EVEN get started on governors and nursing homes.

New York's BLUE STATE GOVERNOR allowed patients with the OBAMA VIRUS to check into nursing homes, KILLING A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE.

You are quoting an unreliable left wing political opinion rag, and you have NO FACTS.

As far as Florida and disabled children go, we treat them better than your NAZI blue states. And our nursing home residents do not have to worry about a Nazi governor putting infected patients in a nursing home and turning it into a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

That's YOUR side of the aisle, Fraulien.

Whenever they find these KKK white nationalist a-holes like you, they always live ultra pathetic lives, either with their parents or in a trailer park.  You aren’t even a full time teacher.  They must pay you crap wages for that.  No benefits, either.  
 

I’ve had a great career.  I graduated from one of the best universities in the world and I’ve spent years getting paid to fly around the world, staying in cushy hotels, eating gourmet food, all on the expense account. The people who iron my business suits get paid more than you. I tip my waiters more than you get paid in a day and I write it off as an expense.  I buy luxury cars just for fun.  You’re a pathetic, hate-filled failure, and you know it, so you lash out at gays and liberals because it’s the only way you can feel superior. But you aren’t superior; you’re inferior.  Get off your parent’s couch and do something to better yourself. Believe me, your parents are dying for you to get your act together and move out already, cause part time substitute doesn’t pay rent, it just pays for your stupid PlayStation.

Yeah, that's not good, but this story IS coming from the Washington Compost, so we'll for sure have to dig deeper to get the whole story.
