Last month, Mitchell sued Rescare and the workers responsible for what happened <br />to Caleb alleging Rescare employees directed people in the house to physically beat, <br />sexually assault, taunt and psychologically abuse him, as well as urinate on him and <br />his belongings. <br />This instance has set Caleb back and his family back," Mitchell's attorney Scott <br />Mansfield said. "It has thrown their world off and thrown a wrench in their daily <br />lives, and it needs to be addressed by Rescare. " <br />Mansfield said Rescare has a history of doing this across the country which results <br />in big problems for residents. <br />Rescare is responsible for hiring qualified employees and training them to care for <br />people with special needs," Mansfield said. "Rescare hires unqualified workers and <br />families trust these people to care for their loved ones with special needs and <br />Rescare has failed them." <br />Attempts to reach people at the group home were unsuccessful. Knocks at the door <br />went unanswered. <br />A spokesperson for Rescare released the following statement, "It is Rescare's policy <br />not to comment on pending litigation." <br />Meanwhile, Mitchell said Caleb is back at home. She wants her fun -loving son back. <br />I don't want another family or another special needs adult to have to go through <br />what Caleb's gone through and what our family has gone through," Mitchell said. <br />The WBRZ Investigative Unit obtained job listings for Rescare and the <br />listings indicate applicants need no formal skills or training. According to Rescare, it <br />operates in 42 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. <br />http://www.wbrz.com/news/major-probl ems -found -at -group -home -after -special - <br />needs -resident -allegedly -beaten -sexually -assaulted/
