Rip-off Scam: non profit organization for the handicapped disabled abuse & illegal practices

Submitted: 9/7/01

Vocational Industries Elkhorn, WI. There is a workshop who hires the disabled in Elkhorn Wisconsin where alot of illegal practices happen.

My child attends this workshop on a daily basis, over the summer when the temps. Reached over 90 degress, with no airconditioning, these disabled folks were made to work in the extreme heat.

The "front office" where the executive director "sits" is down right chilly! When my child asked for a longer lunch so they could sit in the air conditioned dining room to cool off the answer from the Executive Director CYNTHIA SIMONSON was a cold hearted, "NO!"

My child's medication are given by a person who is not a LPN or RN. People need to really know what happens in a "sheltered workshop".

I had my scanner on the other night and I heard that a young lady who is staff at the day program was arrested for beating her child! I don't believe that a woman who was arrested for beating her own child should be working with vulnerable adults!
