I’ve been trying to get the sexual and physical abuse of children at a “hospital” investigated for more than a year now. I told OCCY that all they would need to do is go in and look at the camera footage, they told me that I should break in and get it myself.

In the year since I’ve started trying to get an investigation started, another child has died. (OCCY refuses to comply with Open Records Act requests on why a child died there in 2003… almost like they’re covering up something.)

What a great state! Imagine That!

Have you considered seeing if you can sue to force them to comply with the records request? I suspect a lawyer might even take this on pro-bono.

    I couldn’t even get a lawyer in Oklahoma to help me after my ex husband tortured me and maxed out my credit cards lol. Oklahoma is a place where compassion does not exist.

    I’ve also been turned down by at least 3 news agencies at this point. I’m starting to suspect there’s something more foul/corrupt at play.

    High Pointe was a public facility which took in foster children. It was shut down by the state because it was unsafe - it was already under investigation before Jerry died, and I have heard horror stories from survivors.

    Positive Changes was opened by the same individuals almost immediately after High Pointe was closed. They just figured out a loophole - private means that no one can regulate you apparently. There is not a single state agency with jurisdiction apparently.
