Nevada fails to provide children with behavioral health disabilities adequate services, according to the Department of Justice

 

The Justice Department determined that Nevada violates the ADA by failing to provide adequate community-based services to children with behavioral health disabilities, relying instead on segregated, institutional settings like hospitals and residential treatment facilities. Hundreds of children are isolated in residential treatment facilities each year though they could remain with their families if provided necessary, community-based services. Over a quarter of these children stay over a year, and some of them are placed outside of Nevada, far from their homes. Nevada also fails to connect children who have been placed in institutions with services to allow them to successfully return to the community.

The ADA is noble. But it is massively corrupted, and many are of pure equity and have helped to destroy the healthy. The only positive is that when the worst happens many will get their karma shoved back to them.
