Скачать или смотреть NJ watchdog says residents with disabilities face ongoing abuse and neglect

New Jersey's Ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities and Their Families is making an urgent plea on behalf of the state's most vulnerable residents. In a new report from the office paints a stark picture of systemic faults and policies that have failed far too many people. A lack of oversight enabled continued abuse at state-run homes, the report says.

Editor's note: The original version of this interview segment with Paul Aronsohn, NJ ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities contained video of New Concepts for Living. It was used incorrectly and may have caused confusion for which we apologize. New Concepts for Living was not the subject of this interview or the ombudsman’s report. All versions of the original interview have been removed. A corrected version of the interview is available.
