Worthwhile, Lake County to become a national focal point (1986)


On August 7, 1986 the Florida Sentinel ran its own endorsement of the Carlton Palms project, primarily rejecting the fears of potential neighbors. The article offered the facts...some very incorrect, such as "autistic children are totally non-aggressive" and "autistic youngers are incapable of delinquency" and "autistic children are not prone to wander and roam." My personal favorite, "Carlton Palms will make Lake County a national focal point for the teaching and training of autistic children." Yep. Lake County did in fact become a national focal point -- for the abuse and murder of children institutionalized in Carlton Palms and its sister facilities. Let us never forget that.
