TYLER — Overworked aides at
the Fort Worth State School some
times “shoveled” food into clients
and left them in dirty diapers as long
as three hours, a former employee
testified Monday.
Phil Chapman, a licensed vocatio
nal nurse whose last day at the
school was Monday, was the first wit
ness to take the stand in hearings on
conditions in state schools for the
mentally retarded.
The hearing, expected to last all
week, was called to hear several is
sues — an expert consultant’s rec
ommendations for community
placement of the mentally retarded,
whether state schools can be held in
contempt for not meeting deadlines
for new programs and if a system
can be set up to hear complaints
from plaintiffs.
A 1983 out-of-court settlement in
the 11-year-old suit granted re
tarded people the right to the “least
restrictive environment” and called
for many state school residents to be
moved to community centers.
That community placement was
to be the first issue to be heard in the
hearings before U.S. District Judge
William Wayne Justice.
Chapman, who testified before
about 100 people, said that aides of
ten didn’t snow up for work and oth
ers would have to be called in or
work double shifts.
Diapers were often used on pa
tients who could use the toilet by
themselves, he said, adding that
sometimes they would be left in the
soiled diapers as long as three hours
before they could be changed.
“I’ve seen that happen every day,”
the witness said.
At other times, aides would feed
clients two at a time, including those
who choked easily. Workers would
never feed clients in tandem when
inspectors came by, he said.
“We shovel it in as quickly as we
can so we can get on with bathing,”
Chapman said.
He also testified that the infir
mary went for a week without hot
water last month, so the clients had
sponge baths if they were bathed at
