A new report this week revealed that under Scott Walker’s watch, over “400 patients were involved in about 800 violent events, including assault, improper sexual contact and property damage” at his County Mental Health Complex.
Yet Scott Walker is refusing to share information with Disability Rights Wisconsin – the organization tasked by the state to perform a comprehensive review of Walker’s Mental Health Complex – in the aftermath of the sexual assault scandal at his facility. Scott Walker is refusing, even though he knows that DRW has a right to the records.
This crisis has gone on for far too long. But rather than solve the problems and hold people accountable, Scott Walker seems to be more interested in hiding the truth and protecting his friends.
That’s why I’ve demanded that Scott Walker release the safety records to the agency conducting the investigation at his facility.
Will you stand for accountability by signing our petition demanding that Scott Walker release the full safety audit to investigators? Please go to: www.EndTheAssaults.com/Enough
The public and the people investigating this facility deserve full information. It’s long past time for Scott Walker to immediately release the safety report on his Mental Health Complex, and his refusal only raises questions about what else Scott Walker is hiding.
Here are the big questions that we still don’t know the answers to:
Why was a long-term care patient allowed to escape from the complex twice in recent months and assault a 34-yearold woman in her home while three young children were watching?
Why is Scott Walker refusing to release a 2008 safety audit that cost taxpayers over $80,000? What is he hiding?
Why did Scott Walker transfer his good friend and hand-picked administrator to a cushy $91,000 taxpayerfunded rather than hold him accountable for the crisis at his complex?
Enough is enough, and the time for accountability is now. Visit www.EndTheAssaults.com/Enough now and share this information with your friends to demand that Scott Walker release the safety records now.
