Restpadd Inc Woman was beaten by staff Redding, California

25th of Apr, 2013 by User200670

On April 18, 2013 a woman was taken to Restpadd Psychiatric Inc, 2750 Eureka Way Redding, Ca. and admitted.
When she arrived she was heavily medicated, disoriented, and tried to leave the facility. Staff tried to
subdue her using undue force causing several lacerations, a cracked rib and severe bruising. A witness that
had gone with her was standing outside of a locked glass door and saw 3 employees knock the woman to the
floor, kicking, punching and scratching her. The woman managed to reach a phone and call for help. When she
was taken to the emergency room a police officer from Redding, Ca was called. The officer stated that even
tho the woman had a cracked rib, a bruise the shape of a fist in the center of her chest and a bruise in the
shape of a boot imprint on her the left side of her stomach that he felt her injuries "were not that serious"
The officers supervisor was called by a concerned party and the officer returned to the hospital to take
photos of the injuries. There is a video of the attack yet law enforcement says they do not have the legal
right to view the video without the facilities consent.
This was a 5'6" woman that weighs 125 lb there was no reason for 3 employees to "restrain" her by knocking
her to the floor, kicking, punching and scratching her. This facility is supposed to be a safe place where mentally ill people go to get help, not abused. Law
enforcement is supposed to investigate abuse allegations, not dismiss them as not that serious. How can law
enforcement ignore a boot shaped bruise on a persons stomach that can only be caused one of two ways? Either
the woman was dropped kicked in the stomach or she was knocked to the ground and stomped on. How can they
explain a fist shaped bruise in the center of her chest? The only way for that to happen is for her to be
struck with a closed fist with enough force to leave the imprint.
