Report: N.Y. disabled at risk of harm ALBANY, N.Y., March 22 (UPI) -- There were more abuse claims than beds in 2010 at large institutions overseen by New York's Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, a report said. The 105-page report commissioned by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said nearly 300,000 disabled and mentally ill New Yorkers face "needless risk of harm" because of inconsistent reporting methods for abuse claims, The New York Times reported Thursday. Cuomo requested the investigation into state homes and institutions following a series of Times articles highlighting claims of abuse, neglect and fraud last year. The report -- "The Measure of a Society: Protection of Vulnerable Persons in Residential Facilities Against Abuse and Neglect" -- has not been released to the public, but a draft obtained by the Times outlined inconsistencies in how state facilities handle claims of abuse. The report found one facility summons police if "there is reason to believe that a crime has been committed," yet another only does so if a potential felony has occurred. A third agency requests law enforcement only if a local district attorney has "indicated a prior interest." The report said there were 119.68 claims of abuse for every 100 beds in 2010 at six state agencies that oversaw the care for vulnerable populations.
