Please ask Governor Cuomo to sign NYS Bill S248B/A1470B-2015 into law so that children who live within the two or three-mile designated area and are not zoned for school bus transportation and have a parent who is ill can be considered for school bus transportation by their school district. These children will then have the opportunity to possibly secure a safe and consistent way to get to and from school.

The state statistic issues that abuse and neglect is a widespread occurrence in nursing homes and residential homes of people with disabilities.However,there seems to be a lack of objective evaluations of these occurences rather than witness testimony to substantiate alleged abuse and neglect cases.These lack of objectives assessment of allegations of such nature offers a loophole to coworkers and or administration of these housing agencies to overstate non abuse and neglect case as sometimes a vindictive act..case similar to the national epidemics of 911 call for non-emergency cases aka criminal activity . The loophole has helped residential home and nursing home owners and administrators to give a misleading impression through the amount of allegations against poor direct care worker who can't afford to defend their right before the justice center -because of low wages paid by the agencies and the long process of appeal or hearing set-up by the justice center as well as its speedy process, has allowed the justice center by default to enter this alleged. cases with or without subjective findings as substantiated abuse and neglect cases following an investigation that sometimes is biased against the alleged perpetrators.As a result ,the justice center is proud of using this a deterrent of abuse and neglect while the residential houses or nursing homes used the data as a signifiers of great advocacy agency for people with disabilities for more funding.Simply put , a current lack of objective means of investigation allows agencies to abuse the public trust by leveraging on false or less serious allegations of abuse and neglect to bolster their trust with funding agencies.We demand from our states legislative to put in place a safe system of trust to ensure an objective means of investigation of such allegations ,which ,as of now, rest on subjectives view of peers and agency -based judgement to substantiate a case.Many of the accused workers cannot afford a lawyer or are uneducated to defend their right in those instances.There is no legal service free of charge in our system for accusee and despite the longer hours of work in a high stress and health risk environment they are not guarantee a minimum wages to afford a legal service.
