Comments
Virginia wants to make sure that no one knows what is going on in these facilities including deaths and rapes so nobody and no group can know to stage a protest. Great transparency, open government, what's that? So if a child is killed, and it is reported as required by law, the Dept. can't post the incident on a Department website so parents won't know that anything is wrong at that facility. And leaving it to the discretion of a political appointee whether to investigate? The General Assembly just showed how much it "really cares" about children, disabled adults and older adults in Virginia. Virginia is for eugenicists, not lovers.
