A Short Web Summary Of » Employment Law Abuse
I need to know if I should take action... Man with child abuse conviction working in nursing home.?
I know a man that went to prison for three years after choking a three year old girl so hard that he left bruises around her neck. He's out of prison now, and somehow he has found employment in a nursing home as a nursing assistant. I am very much wanting to report this fact to the nursing home (and really am curious if they just completely failed to do a background check on him. I wonder if I could get into any legal trouble for reporting this, because if not you'd better believe I'm about to.
Only reason I ask if I'd get into any legal trouble is because it seems like criminals have more rights and protections nowadays than law-abiding citizens.
Just for the record he got out of prison last year.
Also... might it not be better to contact some government office and report his employment there? If so, who?
Yes, you should do something. Check and see if your state has something called Adult Protective Services. If they do, contact them and tell them what you know, including what prison he was sent to. Ask to stay anonymous. If there isn't an APS where you live, ask Child Protective Services who you should report this to. And thank you for caring. Good luck!
