Bush overstepped his authority when authorizing the unconstitutional program. Federal Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ordered a permanent injuction barring the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which has been used to monitor millions of US citizens. \"It was never the intent of the (Constitutional) framers to give the President such unfettered control, particularly when his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights,\" Taylor wrote in a 43-page opinion.

Earlier laws proposing similar regulations failed to pass the Legislature in 2006 and 2008. Brown also vetoed two earlier versions of the bill, based on recommendations from Caltrans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-bike-car-three-foot-rule-20130916,0,7796444.story\">L.A. Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Lowenthal's bill got through the Legislature, but Brown vetoed it. The governor noted that California already required a \"safe and reasonable\" distance, but he had no problem with nailing down the minimum to three feet. It was the reduced speed that troubled him. Or, rather, that troubled the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans. They told the governor that slowing for a bike could cause other cars to rear-end the driver who was dutifully braking, or that one cyclist could cause an entire line of cars to have to slow down. And in case you were wondering, yes, Brown made it clear that such decelerating would be bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also vetoed last year’s SB1464, also by Lowenthal, even though the slowing provision was removed. In his veto message, the governor again cited Caltrans, which this time expressed concern that the bill allowed cars to move to the left -- over the double-yellow line, if necessary -- to keep the three-foot minimum distance from cyclists. Allowing cars to violate the sacrosanct divider and, perhaps, stray into oncoming traffic could make the state liable in case of a head-on collision, the governor wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-bike-car-three-foot-rule-20130916,0,7796444.story\">Read the full story.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise that helped this bill pass is found in \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1371\">Section 3, Part D\u003c/a>. If road conditions make the 3-feet rule unsafe for the driver, they can slow down to a \"reasonable and prudent\" speed while passing a cyclist by less than 3 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violators could see a $35 fine. If there is a collision, the fine is increased to $220.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The version that passed today was authored by Assemblyman Steven Bradford (D-Gardena).

Jerry Brown\u003c/a> Monday requires drivers to give cyclists 3 feet of space while passing on the left or else face a fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law says that the distance will be measured between \"any part of the motor vehicle and any part of the bicycle or its operator.\" In many situations, that calls for 3 feet between the cyclist's shoulder or handlebars and the vehicle's side mirror. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB1371\">Read the full bill.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been a long road for the \"Three Feet for Safety Act\" to make it to state law. Earlier laws proposing similar regulations failed to pass the Legislature in 2006 and 2008. Brown also vetoed two earlier versions of the bill, based on recommendations from Caltrans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-bike-car-three-foot-rule-20130916,0,7796444.story\">L.A. Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Lowenthal's bill got through the Legislature, but Brown vetoed it. The governor noted that California already required a \"safe and reasonable\" distance, but he had no problem with nailing down the minimum to three feet. It was the reduced speed that troubled him. Or, rather, that troubled the California Highway Patrol and Caltrans. They told the governor that slowing for a bike could cause other cars to rear-end the driver who was dutifully braking, or that one cyclist could cause an entire line of cars to have to slow down. And in case you were wondering, yes, Brown made it clear that such decelerating would be bad thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also vetoed last year’s SB1464, also by Lowenthal, even though the slowing provision was removed. In his veto message, the governor again cited Caltrans, which this time expressed concern that the bill allowed cars to move to the left -- over the double-yellow line, if necessary -- to keep the three-foot minimum distance from cyclists. Allowing cars to violate the sacrosanct divider and, perhaps, stray into oncoming traffic could make the state liable in case of a head-on collision, the governor wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-bike-car-three-foot-rule-20130916,0,7796444.story\">Read the full story.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The action drew international attention and plaudits from a host of civil and human rights groups, including the ACLU and Amnesty International. They say conditions at Pelican Bay are unconstitutional and amount to slow torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To his supporters, Castellanos is a relentless campaigner for prisoner rights who has eschewed a history of violence to help coordinate peaceful protests behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We are Emeros (Mexican Mafia members) and we expect that these reglas are followed and respected by all true south-side Florencianos and Florencianas.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Leaders of the hunger strike, including Castellanos, only agreed to call off the protest after California lawmakers promised hearings and possible legislation to address complaints about prison gang policy and isolation units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State corrections officials say conditions in the units are humane and that the severe restrictions are necessary to curtail gang communications.

The action drew international attention and plaudits from a host of civil and human rights groups, including the ACLU and Amnesty International. They say conditions at Pelican Bay are unconstitutional and amount to slow torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To his supporters, Castellanos is a relentless campaigner for prisoner rights who has eschewed a history of violence to help coordinate peaceful protests behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We are Emeros (Mexican Mafia members) and we expect that these reglas are followed and respected by all true south-side Florencianos and Florencianas.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Leaders of the hunger strike, including Castellanos, only agreed to call off the protest after California lawmakers promised hearings and possible legislation to address complaints about prison gang policy and isolation units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State corrections officials say conditions in the units are humane and that the severe restrictions are necessary to curtail gang communications. They allege the protest leaders have a hidden agenda — strengthening the hand of criminal groups that control drug and extortion rackets behind bars and on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prosecutors in L.A. charge Castellanos\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles named Castellanos in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/797696-mexican-mafia-f13-indictment-2.html\">indictment\u003c/a> alleging a host of narcotics, firearms and fraud offenses, all carried out from his cell at Pelican Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors alleged Castellanos was a Mexican Mafia member and “undisputed leader” of Florencia 13 and its associated “cliques,” and that he received payments from the gang’s illegal activities into his inmate trust account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The indictment cites as evidence the rules allegedly written by Castellanos from his prison cell that established leadership positions within the F13’s territory in the Florence-Firestone area of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These ‘shot callers’ were then ordered to coordinate the illegal distribution of drugs and other criminal activities, to ensure that extortionate taxes were collected, and otherwise to oversee their respective portions of the gang’s territory, such as by resolving disputes both among F13 gang members and associates and with members of other Los Angeles gangs,” the indictment states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Turf battle with African-American rivals\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other edicts allegedly issued by Castellanos guided Florencia 13 into a turf battle against rival gangs. The action triggered a wave of racial violence against African-Americans, according to court documents. More than 20 people were killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors allege Castellanos continued to discuss gang business in meetings with visitors at Pelican Bay as recently as 2011 and in the aftermath of an earlier hunger strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate indictment released in August alleges Mexican Mafia members attempted to form an alliance with operatives from a powerful Mexican drug cartel, with approval from leaders at Pelican Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://sfbayview.com/2013/we-dare-to-stand-united-with-all-racial-groups-to-say-enough-is-enough-while-cdcr-and-fbi-collaborate-to-break-our-hunger-strike/\" target=\"_blank\">letter\u003c/a> released by inmate advocates, Castellanos denounced the federal investigation as a “set-up” and described Florencia 13 as his “old childhood street gang.” He has also questioned why the feds only named him as an unindicted co-conspirator (Castellanos and the secret note were also mentioned in a 2007 indictment against other alleged gang members).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Hernandez, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who handled an earlier Mexican Mafia investigation, said the government at that time concluded it was safer to keep Castellanos in isolation and not pull him out of Pelican Bay for court hearings in Los Angeles, which would have been required had he been indicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was important that … Castellanos not be let out, because he holds sway over gang members to do things they would otherwise not want to do,\" Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican Mafia's influence on the streets stems in part from its power inside California jails and prisons. Anyone who ignores the group's edicts faces likely retaliation if they end up behind bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Castellanos \"wants to be indicted\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEvsD7pyp5w\">Rene Enriquez\u003c/a>, a former Mexican Mafia leader who is cooperating with federal prosecutors, said Castellanos’ brazen style suggests he wants to be indicted and sent to federal prison where he can enjoy a host of privileges banned at Pelican Bay, including monthly phone calls and freedom of movement in a general population facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe one of his objectives is to get [transferred] to federal prison to further his business plan,” Enriquez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castellanos’ actions — in running criminal conspiracies and in organizing protests – are driven by an unquenchable thirst for power and recognition, according to Enriquez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He wants to place himself, through this megalomaniacal sense of importance, on this pedestal where he is looked at as one of the chieftains of the mob,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Click on each highlighted area to learn more about it.

And Congress is considering spending tens of billions more. But the last time the government tried to go big with border security, it encountered some pitfalls. Federal officials are trying to learn from past mistakes as they shop for technology to secure a key stretch of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most advanced technology on the border is on display at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/border_security/border_patrol/border_patrol_sectors/tucson_sector_az/\">command center\u003c/a> in Tucson, Ariz. In many ways it is a model for what could come elsewhere on the border, including parts of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 20 agents sit at desks facing large video monitors. When they fly drones over remote patches of desert, this is where the video comes in. Today the monitors show what cameras on the border fence see. Agent Mark Mitchell points to one monitor that looks black and white, but is actually displaying heat. He says this is an added tool for agents “because it will help them see people hiding in the bushes a little easier, versus the day camera, they can get lost in the brush.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Radar Sweeps in the Desert\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These cameras have been around for some time. The building next door is where Customs and Border Protection has some of the newest technology, but I wasn’t allowed to visit. That is where agents receive information from more than a dozen surveillance towers in the desert that use both cameras and radar. They are called “integrated fixed towers.” Their radar sweeps for drug smugglers and illegal border crossers, and they transmit video. “Our agents can then determine whether that sweep is picking up, whether it is an animal, whether it is a person, whether it is a vehicle,” says Mitchell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fixed towers were originally put up by Boeing, the contractor. They are still functional, but the bigger project Boeing tried to create -- an elaborate virtual fence called SBInet that would have integrated radar, cameras and sensors all along the Southwest border -- was deemed a failure. Thad Bingel, a Washington-based security consultant who used to be the chief of staff at Customs and Border Protection, explains the problems with the virtual fence like this: “The issue with SBInet was that it was overly ambitious,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were missed deadlines, system bugs and escalating costs. After pouring a billion dollars into it without success, then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano canceled SBInet in 2011. And it prompted the federal government to rethink how it approaches border technology. “It really caused an examination within the agency of going back and saying, ‘OK, we tried to design a system that did a lot of things, but didn't do it all very well, so let's focus instead on what do you actually need in these different places,\u003cstrong>’ ” \u003c/strong>says Bingel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Huge Ground Surveillance Contract Bids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they’ve decided they need is to start in southern Arizona with a $1.5 billion plan that includes more cameras and more integrated fixed towers. California sector chiefs hope for similar technology eventually. For now, competition for the Arizona contracts is heating up. The bid for towers will be the single-biggest ground surveillance contract since SBInet. But this time, the contracting process has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Borkowski works for the border agency’s Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition. That’s a new office set up to prevent SBInet-size mistakes. He says a lot of things are different. This time, the agency doesn’t want to see just paper proposals. A half-dozen finalist companies had to build models and prove that their towers work -- on their own dime. This June the finalists -- which reportedly include Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics -- showed off their towers in the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borkowski says they were tested on: “How far can your camera see, how far can your radar see, and how confident, how likely is it that if there is something out there, it will actually see it? We call that probability of detection,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some outside analysts are applauding the agency for taking a more risk-averse approach. Werner Dahm directs a security research institute at Arizona State University. “Having something that works in place, and can do the job well, is better than having something that maybe is more spectacular from a technology point of view but that ultimately doesn’t end up working,” says Dahm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is expected to name a winner for the integrated fixed towers contract by the end of the year. Meanwhile, a controversy is brewing among landholders. They’re angry that the government is planning to take pieces of their land by eminent domain in order to install these towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110252242\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And Congress is considering spending tens of billions more. But the last time the government tried to go big with border security, it encountered some pitfalls. Federal officials are trying to learn from past mistakes as they shop for technology to secure a key stretch of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most advanced technology on the border is on display at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/border_security/border_patrol/border_patrol_sectors/tucson_sector_az/\">command center\u003c/a> in Tucson, Ariz. In many ways it is a model for what could come elsewhere on the border, including parts of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 20 agents sit at desks facing large video monitors. When they fly drones over remote patches of desert, this is where the video comes in. Today the monitors show what cameras on the border fence see. Agent Mark Mitchell points to one monitor that looks black and white, but is actually displaying heat. He says this is an added tool for agents “because it will help them see people hiding in the bushes a little easier, versus the day camera, they can get lost in the brush.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The building next door is where Customs and Border Protection has some of the newest technology, but I wasn’t allowed to visit. That is where agents receive information from more than a dozen surveillance towers in the desert that use both cameras and radar. They are called “integrated fixed towers.” Their radar sweeps for drug smugglers and illegal border crossers, and they transmit video. “Our agents can then determine whether that sweep is picking up, whether it is an animal, whether it is a person, whether it is a vehicle,” says Mitchell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fixed towers were originally put up by Boeing, the contractor. They are still functional, but the bigger project Boeing tried to create -- an elaborate virtual fence called SBInet that would have integrated radar, cameras and sensors all along the Southwest border -- was deemed a failure. Thad Bingel, a Washington-based security consultant who used to be the chief of staff at Customs and Border Protection, explains the problems with the virtual fence like this: “The issue with SBInet was that it was overly ambitious,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were missed deadlines, system bugs and escalating costs. After pouring a billion dollars into it without success, then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano canceled SBInet in 2011. And it prompted the federal government to rethink how it approaches border technology. “It really caused an examination within the agency of going back and saying, ‘OK, we tried to design a system that did a lot of things, but didn't do it all very well, so let's focus instead on what do you actually need in these different places,\u003cstrong>’ ” \u003c/strong>says Bingel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Huge Ground Surveillance Contract Bids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they’ve decided they need is to start in southern Arizona with a $1.5 billion plan that includes more cameras and more integrated fixed towers. California sector chiefs hope for similar technology eventually. For now, competition for the Arizona contracts is heating up. The bid for towers will be the single-biggest ground surveillance contract since SBInet. But this time, the contracting process has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Borkowski works for the border agency’s Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition. That’s a new office set up to prevent SBInet-size mistakes. He says a lot of things are different. This time, the agency doesn’t want to see just paper proposals. A half-dozen finalist companies had to build models and prove that their towers work -- on their own dime. This June the finalists -- which reportedly include Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics -- showed off their towers in the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borkowski says they were tested on: “How far can your camera see, how far can your radar see, and how confident, how likely is it that if there is something out there, it will actually see it? We call that probability of detection,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some outside analysts are applauding the agency for taking a more risk-averse approach. Werner Dahm directs a security research institute at Arizona State University. “Having something that works in place, and can do the job well, is better than having something that maybe is more spectacular from a technology point of view but that ultimately doesn’t end up working,” says Dahm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is expected to name a winner for the integrated fixed towers contract by the end of the year. Meanwhile, a controversy is brewing among landholders. They’re angry that the government is planning to take pieces of their land by eminent domain in order to install these towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110252242\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her eyes were bruising black, her lip and upper palate were badly cut, and her right arm was broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She looked like she went four or five rounds with Muhammad Ali,” Beverlee McPherson recalled when Fossum returned from the hospital. McPherson, a registered nurse, supervised the nurse assistants at Claremont Place.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse assistants provide intimate care. They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year. Fossum’s caregiver is the sole person of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sprawling backlog of cases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fossum’s case is not the only one where department investigators were slow to act after allegations of physical or sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2007, nurse assistant Ricky Diocampo molested a 59-year-old female patient at Del Rio Sanitarium in Los Angeles County. This was not the first time Diocampo had assaulted this woman, court records would later show. In 2009, Diocampo pled guilty to patient abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not until two years after his conviction that officials with California’s Department of Public Health revoked Diocampo’s certification as a nurse assistant. Diocampo did not respond to phone calls, notes or visits to his Long Beach home. It is unknown whether Diocampo worked at other care facilities in the years before state regulators acted against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110510\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110510 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Ron Chapman, head of the California Department of Public Health, says he doesn't understand the reason for the decline in case referrals to the Attorney General's office.

(Adithya Sambamurthy/The Center)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I would tell anybody: Do not count on the government taking care of you,” said Brian Woods, who oversaw the department’s Southern California investigations office in 2006. “They are overworked. They can’t get in there. Your case might get looked at 10 years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said cases languished during his tenure because of a sprawling backlog of hundreds of complaints. He said his investigators lacked the training to handle complex cases, and he had too few investigators to begin with. Woods left his position in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2004 to 2008, public health regulators piled up more than 900 cases in Southern California — cases that involved severe injuries and suspicious deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a number of reasons for that backlog, including poor management decisions during that time in terms of how to use the resources that were available,” said Ron Chapman, who heads California’s Department of Public Health. “A backlog for investigating complaints is inexcusable; it should not have occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said a plan was implemented in 2009 to address the backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the two years that I’ve been in the job, there’s now new management from top to bottom,” he said. “We’re staying on top of all the complaints as they come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since Chapman’s been on the job, the number of nurse assistants who have lost their certifications has dropped dramatically. In fiscal year 2008, the department revoked or denied certifications in 27 percent of cases. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, that number dropped to 9 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said he sees no evidence that addressing the backlog has undermined the quality of the department’s investigations. But Marc Parker, who led the investigations section for nine years, said he was forced to cut corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110513\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog-238x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - vanishingbacklog\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>“Hundreds of cases were closed, hundreds, with nothing but a phone call,” Parker said. “The directions were to reduce this backlog, get these cases done. Staff was prohibited from traveling, restricted to sitting at their desk … except only in the most dire cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker said without facility visits, investigators are unable to see the layout of a room, conduct impromptu interviews, or assess a person’s body language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You lose all the basic cues, all the ‘tells’ that people have,” he said. “Their facial expression, eye movements, their body posture, their legs are crossed, they’re turning away from you, they look you in the eye, they don’t. If you’re doing it on the telephone, all of that is gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According the Parker, the practice of shortchanging investigations continues today. “I get emails; I get phone calls from folks who tell me what’s going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker, who retired in December of 2011, said he left earlier than planned. “I could not protect the public any longer,” Parker said. “There was just a failure to protect the most vulnerable people in our state from abuse and neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fewer cases sent to prosecutors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health regulators are legally bound to report all suspected criminal wrongdoing to the state attorney general’s office. Over the three years before the department addressed the backlog, it referred 88 deaths for criminal prosecution. But that number has plummeted. In 2011, the department referred two deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-patientdeaths.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-110512\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-patientdeaths-243x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - patientdeaths\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Paul Greenwood, who has been prosecuting elder abuse cases for nearly two decades as head of the San Diego district attorney’s elder abuse unit, finds that baffling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know how many nursing homes there are in California or how many deaths a year there are in the facilities, but the number is going to be huge,” Greenwood said. “And to think there are only two suspicious deaths? No, I just frankly cannot believe that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said his staff is drafting agreements with the attorney general’s office to improve communication and work better with them as a partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t understand that decline in numbers,” he said. “It’s very concerning to me and we are looking into it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said while he’s confident no complaints have been mishandled, he is open to the possibility of reviewing closed cases, including the death of Elsie Fossum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds absolutely horrible,” Chapman said. “We should be doing investigations on all complaints.

McPherson, a registered nurse, supervised the nurse assistants at Claremont Place.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse assistants provide intimate care. They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year. Fossum’s caregiver is the sole person of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sprawling backlog of cases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fossum’s case is not the only one where department investigators were slow to act after allegations of physical or sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2007, nurse assistant Ricky Diocampo molested a 59-year-old female patient at Del Rio Sanitarium in Los Angeles County. This was not the first time Diocampo had assaulted this woman, court records would later show. In 2009, Diocampo pled guilty to patient abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not until two years after his conviction that officials with California’s Department of Public Health revoked Diocampo’s certification as a nurse assistant. Diocampo did not respond to phone calls, notes or visits to his Long Beach home. It is unknown whether Diocampo worked at other care facilities in the years before state regulators acted against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110510\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110510 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Ron Chapman, head of the California Department of Public Health, says he doesn't understand the reason for the decline in case referrals to the Attorney General's office.

(Adithya Sambamurthy/The Center)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I would tell anybody: Do not count on the government taking care of you,” said Brian Woods, who oversaw the department’s Southern California investigations office in 2006. “They are overworked. They can’t get in there. Your case might get looked at 10 years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said cases languished during his tenure because of a sprawling backlog of hundreds of complaints. He said his investigators lacked the training to handle complex cases, and he had too few investigators to begin with. Woods left his position in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2004 to 2008, public health regulators piled up more than 900 cases in Southern California — cases that involved severe injuries and suspicious deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a number of reasons for that backlog, including poor management decisions during that time in terms of how to use the resources that were available,” said Ron Chapman, who heads California’s Department of Public Health. “A backlog for investigating complaints is inexcusable; it should not have occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said a plan was implemented in 2009 to address the backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the two years that I’ve been in the job, there’s now new management from top to bottom,” he said. “We’re staying on top of all the complaints as they come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since Chapman’s been on the job, the number of nurse assistants who have lost their certifications has dropped dramatically. In fiscal year 2008, the department revoked or denied certifications in 27 percent of cases. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, that number dropped to 9 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said he sees no evidence that addressing the backlog has undermined the quality of the department’s investigations. But Marc Parker, who led the investigations section for nine years, said he was forced to cut corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110513\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog-238x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - vanishingbacklog\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>“Hundreds of cases were closed, hundreds, with nothing but a phone call,” Parker said. “The directions were to reduce this backlog, get these cases done. Staff was prohibited from traveling, restricted to sitting at their desk … except only in the most dire cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker said without facility visits, investigators are unable to see the layout of a room, conduct impromptu interviews, or assess a person’s body language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You lose all the basic cues, all the ‘tells’ that people have,” he said. “Their facial expression, eye movements, their body posture, their legs are crossed, they’re turning away from you, they look you in the eye, they don’t. If you’re doing it on the telephone, all of that is gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According the Parker, the practice of shortchanging investigations continues today. “I get emails; I get phone calls from folks who tell me what’s going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker, who retired in December of 2011, said he left earlier than planned. “I could not protect the public any longer,” Parker said. “There was just a failure to protect the most vulnerable people in our state from abuse and neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fewer cases sent to prosecutors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health regulators are legally bound to report all suspected criminal wrongdoing to the state attorney general’s office. Over the three years before the department addressed the backlog, it referred 88 deaths for criminal prosecution. But that number has plummeted. In 2011, the department referred two deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-patientdeaths.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-110512\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-patientdeaths-243x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - patientdeaths\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Paul Greenwood, who has been prosecuting elder abuse cases for nearly two decades as head of the San Diego district attorney’s elder abuse unit, finds that baffling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know how many nursing homes there are in California or how many deaths a year there are in the facilities, but the number is going to be huge,” Greenwood said. “And to think there are only two suspicious deaths? No, I just frankly cannot believe that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said his staff is drafting agreements with the attorney general’s office to improve communication and work better with them as a partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t understand that decline in numbers,” he said. “It’s very concerning to me and we are looking into it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said while he’s confident no complaints have been mishandled, he is open to the possibility of reviewing closed cases, including the death of Elsie Fossum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds absolutely horrible,” Chapman said. “We should be doing investigations on all complaints. If that’s not happening that’s a problem and we need to address it, and I’ll be looking into that case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was co-reported with Ryan Gabrielson of the Center for Investigative Reporting. \u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/quick-dismissal-caregiver-abuse-cases-puts-calif-patients-risk-5158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read his story, \u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://cironline.org/reports/quick-dismissal-caregiver-abuse-cases-puts-calif-patients-risk-5158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quick dismissal of caregiver abuse cases puts California patients at risk.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F105786096%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-lRcYE\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
