W was very much concerned upon learning about the Aug. 4, 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman because he was in calendar year 2013 a public employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH). As a former employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health Fulton State Hospital, it remains unclear to W whether or not his former employers and their contractual partners acknowledge as a matter of reality the fact that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide.
It also remains unclear to W if the personal health information of Catherine Daisy Coleman reflected this risk. Via email, the Missouri Department of Mental Health have refused to deny that Catherine Daisy Coleman was a patient of Missouri Girls' Town following the Jan. 8, 2012 sexual assault she was a victim of, only confirming that Missouri Girls' Town is indeed a contractual partner of the Missouri Department of Mental Health. The terms and conditions of the contractual agreements concluded between the Missouri Department of Mental Health and Missouri Girls' Town recognize that Missouri Girls' Town is a time-limited placement resource for children requiring active coordinated and professional intervention in a highly structured environment by virtue of a demonstrated inability to function in any less restrictive setting.
Children requiring residential treatment services exhibit a severe mental illness and or persistent mental disorder as diagnosed according to the DSM-4. These children may be unable to function consistently in an open, public school setting, may present a chronic runaway risk, and may present a history of showing rage, including physical aggression towards self and others. It is the judgment of W that the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act enable current and former health care workers to express written objections to a specific course of medical treatment a patient is subjected to if the current or former health care worker believes the treatment to be discriminatory and or racist and or sexist in nature.
It is also the judgment of W. that the inconsistent legislative actions taken in the state of California and the state of Missouri following the suicides of Audrey Taylor Pott and Catherine Daisy Coleman merited discussions on the subject of sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide, particularly among current and former health care workers. According to public records of the California state government, Senate Bill 838 is the direct result of the tragic death of Audrey Pott, a 15-year-old Saratoga High student who committed suicide after she was sexually assaulted while unconscious and photos of her were disseminated electronically.
To the extent of W's knowledge, the first time the United States government recognized on a state level the fact that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide was through the enactment of Audrey's law. As you may be aware, the California government has for a second time explicitly and formally recognized sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide when enacting into law the Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act on (or around) September 19, 2022.
Indeed, the provisions of California's Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act seem to implicitly refer to the sexual assaults of Catherine Daisy Coleman and Audrey Taylor Pott as well as other girls and women by recognizing that [1] 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; [2] only about 300 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police; [3] 33% of women who are raped contemplate suicide; [4] 13% of women who are raped attempt suicide; [5] a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who have experienced sexual violence found that 60% of survivors did not label their experience as rape; [6] women may not define a victimization as a rape or sexual assault for many reasons such as self-blame, embarrassment, not clearly understanding the legal definition of the terms, or not wanting to define someone they know who victimized them as a rapist or because others blame them for their sexual assault; [7] it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitations are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; [8] it is self-evident that statutes of limitations for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitations permit and thus motivate such behavior.
As a matter of principle, W unequivocally condemns violence committed against girls and or women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations, their disability status, and or their age groups. W also condemns malicious efforts designed to place girls and or women in circumstances encouraging the commission of suicide after a documented incident of sexual violence. W is vexed by the very bizarre frenzy that has surrounded his written publications on American government public records related to [1] the highly publicized January 8, 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of in Nodaway County, Missouri, in the city of Maryville when she was only 14 years of age; [2] the attempted suicides of Catherine Daisy Coleman following the sexual assault she was the victim of on or around January 8, 2012 in Nodaway County, Missouri; [3] Catherine Daisy Coleman reported stay at Missouri Girls Town following the very publicized sexual assault she was the victim of on or around January 8, 2012 in Nodaway County, Missouri; [4] the terms and conditions of the contractual agreements concluded between Missouri Girls Town and the Missouri Department of Mental Health; [5] the very lenient criminal charges filed by the state of Missouri on behalf of Catherine Daisy Coleman on (or around) January 9, 2014, exactly two years after the sexual assault she was subjected to on (or around) January 8, 2012; [6] the decision of the California government to recognize that one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; [7] the decision of the California government to recognize that only about 300 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police; [8] the decision of the California government to recognize that 33 percent of women who are raped contemplate suicide, [9] the decision of the California government to recognize that 13 percent of women who are raped attempt suicide, [10] the decision of the California government to recognize that a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who had experienced sexual violence found that 60 percent of survivors did not label their experience as rape; [11] the decision of the California government to recognize that women may not define a victimization as a rape or sexual assault for many reasons such as self-blame, embarrassment, not clearly understanding the legal definition of the terms, or not wanting to define someone they know who victimized them as a rapist or because others blamed them for their sexual assault; [12] the decision of the California government to recognize that it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitations are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; [13] the decision of the California government to recognize that it is self-evident that statutes of limitations for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitations permit and thus motivate such behavior.
W would like to take this opportunity to note that he has never sought nor solicited nor ever contacted anyone to have his written content listed and featured prominently on internet search engines such as AOL, Bing, MSN, and Yahoo. W would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate that he was very much displeased upon uncovering many instances where his written publications were filtered and distorted. At the time W began to publish some of his written content on the applicability of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in cases of suicides after a documented incident of sexual assault, W had not signed any binding agreement that subjected his written content on the internet archive to evaluation, examination, and unsolicited comments intended to summarize what the work is about. In other words, W has never agreed to take on the role of the student for his published works on the internet archive while the so-called web took on the role of professor. Likewise, W has never agreed to take on the role of plaintiff and or defendant for his published works on the internet archive while the so-called web took on the role of judge, jury, and executioner. More importantly, W had begun to publish some of his correspondence with agents of the United States government on the applicability of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in cases of suicides brought on after a documented incident of sexual assault because of a commitment he had made that he would disseminate any and all responsive United States government records within their possession to members of the general public and representatives of the media at no financial expense to them. To the best of his ability, W has fulfilled this commitment by disseminating, at no financial expense to representatives of the media and members of the general public, the most pertinent records on the circumstances leading up to the August 4, 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman.
