Purpose

We want to tell the complete story of what happened to our family. The article in the St. Cloud Times states what happened from the St. Cloud Police point of view. Until now we could not tell our story although we tried to in the St. Cloud Times and local radio stations. Here is our side of what happened with documentation. By telling this we want to make changes in the way mental illness is perceived and reacted to by the system. By the system we include medical, law enforcement, criminal justice, and the people in the community.

Young Man Dies In Benton County Jail
$500,000 Awarded For Wrongful Death

Case # 05-1133
U.S. District Court of Minnesota

We are attaching to our website a case very similar to our son’s but unfortunately a year later in 2003 a young man dies in the Benton County Jail. By telling this story hopefully the public will see the blatant callousness and indifference some people, especially those in the System, as described here on our website, exhibit towards people with mental illnesses. The public cannot tolerate this stigma and discrimination and must demand that changes be made as to treatment of people with these illnesses. Also those individuals who are described in this website for their involvement with this death should be held accountable for their actions and removed from their positions. Read the whole story.
