KJP,

I realize that you might not want to discuss this anymore, which is
understandable.  But, I was wondering if they did anything else to the
client other than having him apology.  This is one area in the disability
field, I feel we need to get better in, instead of just having the
individual say sorry and receive nothing more.  I know you can't lock a
mentally retarded person up in jail, but they aren't learning anything by
the way we're handling these matters now.

Thanks,
Anthony

  Subject: What Happened At Cornerstone


  several of things happened to me at
  Cornerstone this last time.  First of all , I
  kept was inconvenient (sp  (wetting my pants).
  This happened every Thursday when I was there.  I
  have had one accident since I have been back with
  my parents and that was because nobody was around
  but me and I can't go to the bathroom by myself
  very well or easily because I have a physical
  disability called Cerebral Palsy .  The last
  Thursday when I was at Cornerstone , I had the
  runs so I was put in depends (adult diapers).
  Well , they (Cornerstone Staff) gave me a fleet
  to make me have a Bowel Movement.  And , Boy, did
  I go a lot.  Now comes the hard part , I don't
  know as this was some sort of abuse or not.  I
  was said to come here so I did.  I was asked if I
  would go to bed with him by a particular client.
  This particular client then asked me if I would
  love him.  That was hard and I cried and cried
  most of that afternoon.  Yes , I reported that to
  Cornerstone Staff within minutes or seconds of
  that incident.  I was apologied too by that
  particular client that day and several times
  after that day, I don't know if the
  following incident happened the same time as
  above , But That Particular client (the same
  person) said , "We can't do shit."
