Social Workers Found Guilty in Teen Death Case

by Administrator 3. March 2010 07:01

After a month-long trial, two administrators of a federally funded social services program were found guilty in the death of a 14-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. She died of severe bed sores and malnutrition in her mother's apartment, authorities said. The two were found guilty of health care fraud and conspiracy, receiving money from the federal government, channeled through the city, for home visits and other services they did not actually perform. One still faces a trial for involuntary manslaughter for the girl's death.

Two caseworkers received mixed verdicts from the jury. The agency was accused of tolerating and encouraging caseworkers to skip visits and fabricate reports. The agency was supposed to provide care for teens and at-risk children through funding from the city's Department of Human Services but has since folded.

Suit Against Ramada Will Go Forward

by Administrator 3. March 2010 06:36

A wrongful death lawsuit against a Ramada hotel will go forward with a ruling that the facts presented are to be considered as true. A 17-year-old employee was killed in a car accident in 2006 with a high blood alcohol level. His pickup crashed through a fence and into a pond, killing the boy. His blood alcohol level was at 0.14 percent. Pennsylvania law does not allow anyone to drive if they have 0.08 percent or higher, and drivers under age 21 cannot be over 0.02 percent.

Prosecutors say Ramada should not have allowed the boy to work the extended 16-hour shift as a dishwasher and waiter, violating child labor laws. They also accused the hotel of allowing the boy unfettered access to alcoholic beverages on the job, saying that the bartender left two minors unattended for two hours with free access to alcoholic beverages.

Pet Bull Kills Owner

by Administrator 3. March 2010 06:23

An eastern Pennsylvania man died Saturday when his pet bull attacked him, authorities said. The 52-year-old leased barn space at a farm where he kept the bull, authorities said, which is northwest of Philadelphia. The farm owner's son discovered the victim's body on Sunday, according to police. That would have been the victim's fifty-third birthday.

According to the coroner, the man's injuries seem to have been inflicted by a bull's hooves and head. Authorities said the man had been injured by one of his bulls in the past, too.

Abortion Doctor's License Pulled

by Administrator 26. February 2010 02:13

One woman died and several women were injured by an abortion doctor whose license was finally suspended Monday. State officials were shocked at the deplorable conditions. They found his clinic highly unsanitary, and he employed several unlicensed technicians who would examine patients and administer medication. In 1999, one woman nearly died before she went to the hospital and discovered that the doctor had left her aborted baby's arm and a leg inside her. The doctor punctured another woman's colon and uterus during an abortion in 1987, where she almost bled to death.

His license has been suspended for 30 days, but that could increase to 180 days if the State of Pennsylvania can prove its case against the doctor. He has been cited for having uncertified help and poor conditions in the past, losing several lawsuits. He has been licensed since 1967 but was recently labeled by authorities as dangerous to the public.

Bus Crash Kills 1

by Administrator 24. February 2010 08:24

A 38-year-old school bus driver crashed into a car Wednesday morning, killing the car's 27-year-old passenger on impact. The car's driver was taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The bus driver was not injured in the crash, nor were the 45 students onboard.

He was involved in another fatal crash in 1999 that killed a 2-year-old girl, broadsiding a vehicle with the girl and her mother in it. He had run a stop sign as he was dialing his cell phone, police said. No criminal charges were filed against him at the time. He was not prohibited from obtaining his commercial driver's license after the 1999 crash.
