Both my sons were sexually, emotionally, and physically abused at a new alternatives inc children home. My oldest grew deformed and suffered Ricket from being kept in a cage some much. They punished you by putting you in a cage where you have to do “packages”. While squatting in the cage with very limited light. You were kept in the cage for 8 hrs or when ever you finish your 4 packages.
After 5 faithful years of employment at New Alternatives I raised concerns in a managers meeting regarding inadequate staff to child ratios, unsafe working conditions and employer practices which included intimidation, threats and other civil rights violations. Soon after I was repeatedly written up for minor or fabricated offenses and endure several months of disparate treatment and emotional abuse before being terminated and accused of child abuse. In the termination hearing New alternatives presented no credible evidence to substantiate this claim and offered no explanation as to why, if they reasonably believed abuse had occured, they made no report of it, as they are legally mandated to do. This not for profit is all about profit, for the priveleged top ten company earners. they are ruthless in their attempts to discredit loyal employees, the backbone of their agency, but uncommonly uneducated in legal sophistication and finesse. The CEO needs to realize the liability he is threatened with and terminate these unpolished, narcissistic thugs.
