[quote=Anonymous]There was a similar case with Jenny Hatch in 2013. Jenny Hatch is a 29 year old woman with Down syndrome, a high school graduate, lived in her own home, worked at a thrift store, and volunteered in many political campaigns. When she got into a bike accident, supposedly her parents petitioned for guardianship and placed her in a group home. Jenny didn't want to live in the group home and often ran away from there. After a year of court battles, Jenny won the right to live with the thrift store owners, took her into their home last year when she needed a place to recover after a bicycle accident. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/woman-with-down-syndrome-prevails-over-parents-in-guardianship-case/2013/08/02/4aec4692-fae3-11e2-9bde-7ddaa186b751_story.html Jenny said the group home took away her cell phone and wouldn't let her work or see her friends.[/quote]
