Mother Accuses Day Program of Negligence in Son's Death
8 May
Summary
- A mother claims her profoundly autistic son died due to negligence.
- The 22-year-old reportedly fell from a height at an adult day program.
- A lawsuit is planned as authorities investigate the tragic incident.
A grieving mother is pursuing legal action, asserting that negligence caused her son's death at an adult day program. Justin, described as profoundly autistic and nonverbal, was attending the Fort Monmouth Day Program in Oceanport.
On April 15, Justin was transported to a local hospital where he tragically passed away. His mother stated that police informed her of his death, indicating he died from a fall. The family's attorney believes Justin was left unattended for a significant period, leading to a fatal fall from a high point.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office confirmed that an investigation into the death is underway, working in conjunction with the Oceanport Police Department. The family's attorney has indicated that a lawsuit is intended, as they have received minimal information from the facility.
