Rip-off Scam: Vocational Industries non profit organization for the handicapped disabled abuse & illegal practices
Submitted: 9/7/01
Modified: 9/9/01
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!

Update Submitted: 9/7/01 Modified: 9/9/01 Vocational Industries in Elkhorn Wisconsin is a workshop that hires the disabled. The public and other parents should know that this is a "legalized" sweatshop. When the temps. ran over 90 , the "client workers" were forced to work in the extreme heat and humidity. I am an adult family home provider, which means that I have a disabled individual who lives in my home and attends Vocational Industies for work. They have no nurse, LPN or RN to dispense meds, a regular staff person with no med training dispenses their medications. I had the Police scanner on the other night and heard that a staff in the Day program was arrested for beating her own child. I believe that a person who was charged with child abuse should NOT be working with vulnerable adults!
