(MENAFNEditorial) NY Gov. Cuomo's Justice Center a Corruption Scheme Jonathan Carey "Champion for the Disabled" Born September 12,1993 Killed by caregivers on February 15,2007

The corruption is unimaginable and likened to organized crime due to the massive scope of cover-ups of crimes and deaths

The corruption surrounding the disabled involves Governor Cuomo and many other top New York State officials.— Michael CareyDELMAR, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Leading advocate for the disabled and their families in New York State, Michael Carey, is calling for federal criminal investigations by US Attorney Preet Bharara. Governor Cuomo's Justice Center is a fraudulent whitewash entity where most reported crimes disappear. Governor Cuomo's Justice Center is keeping most reported crimes and deaths of people with disabilities that occur in known unsafe State or privately sub-contracted facilities and group homes from local authorities, including elected District Attorney's and Medical Examiners or Coroners. Governor Cuomo's wrongfully named, ''Justice Center'' is not a Justice Center, but instead an important part of a corrupt scheme to cover-up most crimes against people with disabilities, including numerous criminally negligent deaths. Evidence and key documents obtained through Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests reveal that witnessed and reported crimes numbering in the many thousands were and continue to be purposefully kept from County elected District Attorney's purposefully so that they would never be prosecuted. All along Governor Cuomo and his administration have portrayed his Justice Center as a legit law enforcement entity to the general public, as well as to all New York State Counties and law enforcement agencies. What really has been occurring though is one of the most egregious and heinous scams and criminal schemes imaginable which involves covering up most reported crimes including criminally negligent deaths of some of the most vulnerable. The former Executive Director of Governor Cuomo's Justice Center, Jeff Wise, is publicly quoted saying some extremely damning things regarding its operations in a July 15, 2013 Spotlight News article titled. ''State's new Justice Center makes Bethlehem its home.'' First, ''Wise said the Center is not a first response team'' yet legitimate police agencies are first responders. Second, Wise is directly quoted saying, ''We''re meant to be an added level of security,'' he said. ''Our special prosecutor is meant to assist local district attorney's when needed.'' Cuomo's Justice Center was set up to continue the massive cover-ups by fielding the criminal complaints instead of the alleged crimes going to the normal 911 call systems so that local police can immediately respond and investigate. Cuomo's Justice Center would then simply keep most crimes reported to them from being reported to County elected District Attorney's, leaving local DA's unaware in most cases of crimes including deaths that occurred within their own county. The extremely damning Justice Center Special Prosecutor Patricia Gunning email to County District Attorney's dated October 14, 2015 reveals that she ''will begin sending case referrals for matters that have been called in to the Vulnerable Person Central Register (VPCR) so that your office may investigate and prosecute as you deem appropriate.'' This email reveals that many thousands of criminal cases were not referred to County elected District Attorney's from June 30, 2013 to October 14, 2015. Most reported criminal cases were never criminally investigated and covered-up internally between this time period and since which demands federal criminal investigations by US Attorney Preet Bharara because of Governor Cuomo's involvement in this corruption.

The truth is public knowledge; Cuomo's Justice Center has been repeatedly exposed by AP News and BuzzFeed News this past year in numerous investigative reporting pieces. I have attached a few of the most recent;

For many decades New York State has treated the disabled and those struggling with mental illness as a sub class of human being, or in other terms the bottom of the barrel and has used them for financial gain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbiYJkiX-Dg. New York State, under the guise of a ''Justice Center'' is hiding and concealing most of the witnessed and reported crimes, the severe injuries and loss of innocent life as a direct result of the known fraud and corruption. The corruption surrounding the disabled involves Governor Cuomo and many other top New York State officials.
Jonathan Carey, Mr. Carey's son, was developmentally disabled and had autism and he was only 13 when he was killed by his caregivers in 2007. Attempts to cover-up Jonathan's death failed. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/nyregion/boys-death-highlights-crisis-in-homes-for-disabled.html - http://www.nytimes.com/video/nyregion/100000000849083/a-failure-to-protect.html . Jonathan is one of many hundreds of innocent people with disabilities dying long before they should because of a corrupt mental health care system that uses the disabled for financial gain and profit. Ever since Jonathan was killed, Jonathan's dad has been fighting for a law to require immediate and direct 911 reporting by mandated reporters, but this is the last thing New York State wants because bypassing 911 and local police is how crimes and deaths are easily covered-up. Although this is blatant discrimination in civil rights, top State official seem not to care. New York State wants to keep everything internal, in house, so that most crimes simply disappear. This worst type of corruption must be stopped now. The cover-ups of rapes and deaths of innocent children and adults with disabilities or those struggling with mental illness are far greater crimes than the original crime because protecting these individuals allows them to almost certainly rape or kill other innocent victims.
People entrenched in this culture of corruption believe they must hide the severe damages, injuries and deaths resulting from their actions. The shameful, extremely negligent, corrupt and deadly New York State mental health care system and the Justice Center cover-up entity must be exposed for what it really is. Most physical and sexual abuse and neglect of the disabled will never be witnessed and reported, yet over 7,000 calls on average are called into Governor Cuomo's Justice Center internal abuse and death hotline every month. Eleven to twelve deaths of people with disabilities are reported to this same fraudulent State agency every day on average and the acting Executive Director, Jay Kiyonaga, has directed in writing that the State and private provider agencies investigate deaths occurring in their own facilities. https://www.justicecenter.ny.gov/sites/default/files/documents/JusticeCenterDeathReportingClarification12-17-15.pdf . Here is the exact quote, ''State and private providers should continue to review/investigate deaths in their programs, unless informed otherwise by the Justice Center.'' Keeping deaths hidden from local authorities and internal? There is only one reason for this type of activity. Governor Cuomo knows that there cannot be a greater conflict of interest and that this is a criminal obstruction of justice, but this is the agreement the State has with their providers which is about protecting them and their employees from litigation.
The website of the former Commission on Quality of Care (CQC) now called the Justice Center states that they are about protecting people with special needs from abuse and neglect, but it really is about protecting the abusers and those providing negligent and unsafe care and services. Governor Cuomo's fraudulent whitewash entity is about making almost all reported crimes, including criminally negligent deaths disappear.
Following the award winning New York Times ''Abused & Used'' massive investigative reporting series that exposed New York State's extremely dangerous and deadly system, Governor Cuomo took every step imaginable to hide and conceal what is really happening behind closed doors http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/nyregion/abused-and-used-series-page.html?_r=0 . Governor Cuomo took no immediate actions to protect the disabled from abuse or neglect or stop the further loss of innocent lives. Governor Cuomo removed all independent oversight including all legal law entities that were able to assist the disabled and go into these facilities and group homes at any time, except for one that he handpicked. Governor Cuomo selected Disability Advocates and Timothy Clune who worked for him when he was the Attorney General. The pattern continues to surface, close handpicked and hand selected people that will do almost anything for large sums of money, with DRNY it is about buying protection and silence. Executive Director Clune and at least one other top DRNY official makes close to Governor Cuomo's salary and the last thing that DRNY officials want to do is lose their lucrative salaries or the contract they obtained directly from Governor Cuomo.
Deception and lies are keys to any scam or scheme along with name changes. Disability Advocates changed their name to become Disability Rights New York or DRNY. Sounds like a really good name, but all along DRNY has been guarding Governor Cuomo and his corrupt Justice Center with a vengeance, refusing to seek swift federal intervention by US Attorney Preet Bharara to stop the thousands of criminal cover-ups of crimes and deaths. As everyone knows to successfully cover-up very ugly and criminal matters you have to control everything and keep everything internal ensuring that 911 recorded calls or independent medical and police reports, medical examiner and coroner initial reports or autopsy reports are rarely generated. DRNY would be used primarily by the Cuomo administration to be complicit and silent as thousand of crimes would be and continue to be covered-up. God only really knows the real numbers of criminally negligent deaths covered up, the numbers are without question huge. DRNY is part of the cover-up scheme, only doing the bare minimum to give an appearance of legitimacy. DRNY is primarily looking the other way and has literally refused to even request federal criminal and civil rights investigations to happen by US Attorney Preet Bharara and the US Department of Justice.
Attorney General Schneiderman, along with DRNY, has also been protecting and shielding Governor Cuomo and his fraudulent whitewash entity and many other top State officials involved. Attorney General Schneiderman is ignoring the safety, health, rights and lives of upwards of 1,000,000 New Yorkers with disabilities in extreme danger of severe harm or death. When such heinous crimes are orchestrated by top levels of government in such ways and government officials believe they are above the law, society is in grave danger because of the lawlessness.
Stand with us for ''equal rights'' and ''civil rights'' for people with disabilities in New York State and throughout our great country by signing our petition at www.jonathancareyfoundation.org. No longer can 911 be bypassed, 911 call systems must be immediately called by all mandated reporters regarding all physical and sexual assaults, gross negligence of care, significant and suspicious injuries and when a person with a disability is in medical distress or has stopped breathing. http://jonathancareyfoundation.org/donate/
