Abstract
- The article reports on the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) report accusing North Carolina of unnecessary institutionalizing patients with mental illnesses which violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It states that the death of four adult care home residents and the complaint of the Disability Rights North Carolina filed in July 2010 have prompted the investigation. Disability Rights Director of Litigation John Rittelmeyer said that Georgia has the same case with the state.
