from the Author …
In this e-book, you will find the text and/or links
to the complete legal cases and U.S. Department of Justice
investigations whose summaries appear in HARD CANDY’s appendix.
Unlike the events in HARD CANDY, which took place fifty years
ago, these cases reflect recent conditions at New Lisbon Developmental
Center and Trenton Psychiatric Hospital as well as other mental health
institutions, residences for persons with developmental disabilities,
and juvenile facilities throughout the country. You’ll find
documentation wrongful deaths, abuse of patients (physical, verbal,
psychological, and sexual), misuse of drugs and restraints, neglect of
duty, falsification of statements by staff, hangings, scaldings,
employee theft of government property, “codes of silence” imposed on
potential whistleblowers, and unfortunately much more.
What follows dispels a public myth that what
happened to my brother and me so long ago no longer happens in the
present. Similar atrocities do live on, and they have already crept into
the twenty-first century, producing more victims every day—with no letup
in sight.
As always, I welcome your questions, comments, and
observations. Feel free to contact me directly at:

About Charles A. Carroll |
 |
Charles has devoted his life to
telling his story in an effort to create public awareness, to curb
child abuse wherever it may exist, to educate the uninformed, and
to dispel the public myth that these things don’t happen anymore.
“They do,” Mr. Carroll writes, “only today the atrocities are
better hidden.”
