Sorry this is so long…

I’ve been working in a local group home for a year now. A resident there attacked me.. He kicked me down a flight of stairs, forcefully shoved me down onto the ground the next day, and continuously threatened he was going to kick my ass among other things. He continuously rubbed my shoulders and attempted to sexually rub my thighs, although I told him repeatedly to not touch me. This whole array of incidences took place over the course of two days. Management advised me to "ignore" the sexualized touching as he was intending to get a rise out of me. Where was everyone when this took place? Safety is clearly not a huge concern, apparently… Recipient rights far outweigh the measly, probably non existent staff rights. It makes me sick..

This individual is a 250 pound, 6’4” male, late 30s, with mild mental retardation. I’m 5’8” and 160.. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing when he assaults as he has a long history of plotting to assault staff and going through with it. This is a high functioning member of the group home. He holds a job, has hobbies, maintains girlfriends, is able to do daily living tasks on his own (hygiene, meals, etc).

I went to the police station and attempted to press charges. The officer pretty much told me that the prosecutor will not press charges against him as they do not want any of "these people" in their jail. The officer relayed to me that there is a STACK of paperwork ceiling high (metaphorically, of course), that contain attempted charges for physical assault from this individual. He has assaulted many female staff in the past and NOTHING has come of it. The officer interviewed the assaulter and he admitted to everything, "Yes, I was mad at her, I wanted to hurt her, so I did."

This happened about 2 months ago and the officer has not returned my phone calls. In the meantime I am desperately seeking a new job so I can leave group homes and never look back.
I am distraught, distressed, angered, and feel hopeless. I hate going to work and seeing his face. He frequently brags about the incident and staff just tell him not to talk about it. He is clearly proud of his actions and has repeatedly learned that his assaultive actions have ZERO repercussions.

Please, someone, is there ANYTHING I can do? It took me weeks to get back to full nights sleep and I think about it constantly. I would like for this individual to spend time in jail. I feel that a jail stay is a piece of fkng cake compared to the crap that I’ve had to endure.. sorry, I’m angry.

Will a lawyer do anything about it?? Will anyone????? It is the HUGEST slap in the face to have to go to work every day and see this individual and have to be nice to him. I thought that I’d feel better as time passed, but this is an injustice that will never be repressed…

I need actions, closure, anything…..
