They got money for anyone that needs legal assistance, that came here illegally by the way, and they get every benefit under the sun. It’s almost at the point now if you need to get your frustration out, go find a special needs person because you can do whatever you want to them and you’ll never do a day in jail. Unbelievable how sickening this state is, all because of politics. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?
A caregiver charged with the responsibility of watching a 31-year-old nonverbal, vulnerable adult is now facing charges of her own.
On Monday, a judge granted bail at $10,000 for Kymorea Lee Sanders after Howard County police arrested her over the weekend, calling her actions “dangerous.”
According to charging documents, Kymorea worked as a caregiver for Richcroft, Inc. when she left Will, a nonverbal man with autism inside a work van in the Symphony Woods garage with the child lock on.
According to father Bill Shafley, the car was parked facing the sun, and the car could have been easily 100 degrees inside.
The issue may have never come to light had firefighters nearby not heard an alarm coming from the car.
“Only by chance was my son found,” Shafley said. “We can’t rely on chance to keep our loved ones safe.”
According to charging documents, Kymorea was “extremely uncooperative” with authorities at the scene, making excuses and refusing to answer questions.
At one point, the officer on scene asked her what the company's protocol was, and she responded: "I don't know you tell me."
She claimed she had just left to use the restroom. But surveillance video shows she was gone for 57 minutes, and shows her inside a restaurant eating with a woman and a man.
She is now facing charges of vulnerable adult abuse and reckless endangerment.
Will’s father: “We have to have better oversight. We have to have better use of technology and it has to be consistent,” he said. “These caregivers pick [him up] from his residential program; no one knows where he’s going. He’s just gone for the day... There’s no pre-planned: Here’s where we’re going, so that an app can say: ’Why is this person off target? Why are they not where they’re supposed to be?’”
