Overview of this survey

JUSTICE DENIED?
for Neglected and Abused Individuals with Disabilities
A Nation-wide Survey

Hi!  Have you or your friend or child with a disability also been neglected or abused?  Then join together with the angry and troubled Parents of Adults with Disabilities in Colorado (PAD-CO) , and folks from all over the United States, and anonymously tell the world your story, and about how investigations are or are not conducted, and the results of those investigations.  

This survey is about two sides of the justice system impacting people with disabilities.  One is in cases where a person has been abused or neglected and the family or caregiver is seeking justice for the abused or neglected person.  The other is for cases where people with disabilities have been abused while in the justice system itself.  You can answer for either or both situations.

If you have more than one neglect/abuse incident to report, you need to repeat the survey for each incident.  At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you have another incident to report and you will be taken back to the start to report on the next one, whether it be another abuse/neglect incident for the same person or a different person.  If there was more than one investigation associated with a neglect/abuse incident, you will have an opportunity to tell about the different investigations during the survey. 
 
The results of the survey and the information gathered will be professionally published in various formats, including online, and will be used to inform local, state and national policymakers, officials in the justice systems, legislators, disability communities and others who can influence and make indicated needed changes.   Look for the results in the future at the PAD-CO Web Site

Please join us in this easy to complete survey.  You will find it interesting and perhaps educational.  Thanks. Denver Fox, Ed.D. for PAD-CO
