Episode 6: “When they don’t behave”

Aftereffect | Jul 6, 2018

A cup of hot water thrown on a developmentally-disabled resident. Another kicked in the ribs. A tooth knocked out by a staff member. Carlton Palms is known for abuse and even death. So why is the state of Florida so reluctant to close it?

Mamdani says NYC will investigate every tenant heat complaint starting this October

It's a change from city policy that allowed the city to close out thousands of complaints without looking into them further, if multiple came from one building.

Aftereffect

In the summer of 2016, a police shooting upended the life of Arnaldo Rios Soto, a 26-year old, non-speaking, autistic man. Aftereffect tells Arnaldo’s story — a hidden world of psych wards, physical abuse and chemical restraints — and asks the question: What made Arnaldo’s life go so wrong?
