At 2:30 today(2/14/12) I received a phonecall from the assistant director at the Saratoga Bridges day treatment facility in Clifton Park. He advised that he had recently viewed this blog and that it was illegal of me to post photographs of consumers on the blog without their guardian's consent. I advised him that I was unaware of this and he stated that it was part of the public health law. At his request I advised that I would take down the photos either later today or tomorrow.
I immediately called Fred Ratto,the Regional Resource Development Specialist at Southern Adirondack Independent Living. Unfortunately, Fred could not give me a definitive opinion and didn't have an attorney there that could speak to me. Fred suggested contacting my service coordinator, I called him at 3:50, but could only leave a recorded message.
More as this situation developes.
I just had a call(4:20) from my service coordinator and he confirmed what the assistant director had told me. However, he was going to see if anything could be done in this case. I will wait until tomorrow morning, hoping the service coordinator comes up with good news(but I really don't think so).
