Lincoln Hills probe: Three more staffers placed on leave

Source: Patrick Marley 1-22-16 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

Three more Lincoln Hills School employees were put on paid leave this week amid a probe into allegations of prisoner abuse, child neglect, sexual assault and other potential crimes at the state's secure facility for young offenders.

Ring any bells, people? Who was given the contract by Gauleiter/Gov. Scott Walker after consolidation of the boys and girls units?

Oh, those "potential crimes", we've heard the "allegations" decades ago.

Schmit wasn't the only one to receive threats. The lead investigator of the State Senator's Committee, Gary Caradori, had also specified that he had received a series of threats, such as obvious tampering with his vehicle, as to send a message. In early July 1990, Caradori made a trip to Chicago to meet with a secret informant who had evidence which would 'blow the lid' off the case, and reportedly confided to a friend that he was one step ahead of those who wanted to squash the investigation, saying that if 'they' knew what information he had, he would be killed.23


Upon returning from Chicago, Caradori's plane crashed, killing him and his son. The National Transportation Safety Board investigation found that the wreckage was scattered over a radius between 3/4 to 1 mile, indicating without a doubt that the plane broke up in the air, instead of upon impact. Certain items were missing from the crash, most notably Caradori's briefcase. Within 24 hours, all of the evidence was collected by the FBI and sealed.24

* * *

I've followed this story for years, and like you, I cannot believe that it hasn't absolutely exploded. There are too many suspicious things, suspicious deaths and silencing of victims and witnesses for it to be anything but a massive cover up.

The only reason, apparently, that it has come out is due to the internet. The NY Times ran a couple of stories on it, then suddenly never mentioned it again.

evidence that assured criminal prosecutions for child pornography and worse-which corroborated what some of the survivors had stated all along. Its amazing and profoundly frustrating that these evil networks have only grown, and they still utilize vulnerable children.

There are more investigations beginning, recently announced by WPR. Remember this is Gauleiter/Gov. Scott WALKER's Wisconsin and his staff still includes many Karl ROVE mentored apparatchiks like Jocelyn Webster spokesperson for the Department of Administration.

The reports of criminal abuse of adjudicated Wisconsin youth have been around for years, why weren't they acted on then???

Woe.

So, a supervisor held the client's arm as it was broken and he is still on the job for Gauleiter/Gov WALKER's administration despite all the investigations.

This is not ok at all, playing politics with abused adjudicated youth while multiple state and federal criminal investigations (that finally ended in some action after "complaints" surfaced in 2014) are ongoing. It stinks like the history of other cover-ups.

taken the lead into all investigations re the adjudicated youth abuses, and that a Wisconsin judge sent a warning letter to Gauleiter/Gov. WALKER about Lincoln Hills in 2012-which spokespeople said was forwarded to the DOC at that time-ie WALKER SEZ he never got that either. LIAR!

WOE! Indict them all!

MSJ 2016) This is a supplement to the WPR broadcast yesterday-and the emphasis by the lead investigation agency, the FBI, is on the rapes and other sexual abuses which were known about and reported for many years without any real justice.

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/corrections-secretary-resigns-amid-Lincoln-Hills-probe-b99669428z1-368650061.html

And there are very disturbing similarities to other cover-ups involving vulnerable children and those "assigned" to protect them

This is not an "allegation" it happened in 2012-and there are indeed many more reports that were/are still being covered-up by criminal LIARS that should be behind bars (in the GP) sooner rather than later.
