After both of their sons were abused and beaten in group homes, Aileen and Martha Earl Cray (our previous interview) worked together and were instrumental in getting Stephen Komnino’s Law” passed. The law states that caregivers must report any injuries or abuse in group homes and must pass background tests and be drug tested regularly. Now they are working on getting “Billy Cray’ Law” passed in the senate. This law will allow video cameras in group homes if the members so choose. Cindy shares her own experience with requesting video cameras in her son Robbie’s group home to monitor him to make sure he didn’t have a seizure in his sleep, but she was denied by the state stating that it was an “invasion of his privacy”. Yet in the end, Robbie actually did die of a seizure in his bed. They discuss how a choice of video cameras should be allowed to save the lives of those in group homes.
