In the state of Minnesota. Background studies do not cross state lines, therefore they could get a job in another state.

Tink, are you saying that if someone from another state came here to work in a nursing home or went to another state to work in a nursing home, if that person had been found guilty by the "state" of abusing a vulnerable adult, no one would be able to find out?

QUOTE QUOTE EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHO THE PERPS ARE, THEN MAYBE THEY WILL NOT EVER GET A JOB IN A FIELD LIKE THIS AGAIN.
WAS IT YOU ?  If there's anyone against abuse and speaks out about it on this forum...most know it's me. You're crawling up the wrong tree!  As I stated before...some people are abused everyday by someone they know. Do you know the names of these "perps?" Let me ask you this....if you saw a man (possibly a dad) dragging a male child by his hair in the Wal-Mart parking lot to a vehicle, while this man is stating to this child...."You're a selfish little ba$tard. All you care about is yourself. You need to learn respect and I'm gonna teach you...." What would you think? What could you do? Would you involve yourself? Would you want justice & accountability?
Perhaps you should take your bitterness, anger, and defeatest attitude and start a campaign to educate the public on abuses. Take your voice and make it heard where laws can be changed.
Further, the GS abuses are unlike any heard of by the State and by Albert Lea. We're talking the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. These adults do not have a voice WE are their advocates. So unlike abuses that take place everyday where most domestic abuse victims do have a voice and can use it the moment abuse shows its face but for unknown reasons don't, the GS victims didn't have that luxury. That is what makes this case DIFFERENT from others. Abuses against the voiceless and weak and vulnerable are so despicable because it shows premeditation.
Abuse is wrong against anyone. But you need to voice your feelings to those who can really make a difference for you...the law makers.

And I knew a Slo-Gin Tess, but what does that have to do with abuse of residents at Good Sam.
I've been told that one of the girls is trying to study nursing and continues to work as a care giver. Another one is attending school out of state. I know nothing about the others. Kids do dumb things and most tend to grow up to be adults that look back with regret on those mistakes. Not an excuse or a reason for not taking action on the abuse, but a reason for pursuing prudence with respect to these juveniles. However this is not just about these girls, its also about Good Samaritan Albert Lea.

Busybee -
I do believe so. Especially, if the case of abuse is found to be 'substantiated' by the investigating team but there are no criminal charges filed. They would not pass a background check here but would in say Iowa. There are many cases that involve abuse but that are not filed criminally, these individuals are barred from working in the field here. Let's say the individual moved here from Texas, staff run the background check on the Minnesota address, if there was something from Texas it wouldn't show up unless they check Texas, too. Which I believe Minnesota only checks Minnesota. Hope I didn't muddy the water with my explanation.... I get a little long winded sometimes.

Alfy I know we have all made mistakes, but this isn't one to say "they will grow out of". If you touch a child or an older adult is there any difference? They are both victims and I feel the resulting action given to these "gals" SHOULD follow them the rest of their lives. If someone molests or touches a victim, that crime/conviction follows them all their lives, should it be different for doing the same to older adults. They need to be put on the registry just like the others have been.
My father was at GS, about 19 years ago, and one day when I came to visit him, he told me they were going to spank him, his mind was very mixed up at that time and I thought if it was said the girls out there were just kidding. I told the nurse at his station that they shouldn't joke like that with my dad, cause he really was afraid. BUT now I wonder what really was going on?? I pray nothing like this happened to my dad.
