Group charging Chester abuses sparks state federal record dispute
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights, tied to Scientology, claims Chester Mental Health Center patients faced abuse but lacks verifiable non profit status and IRS exemption. Illinois officials say no public listing, while the group relies on volunteer staff and church offices, with few verified regional offices and multiple unidentified affidavits. The center’s administrator and superintendent demand specifics as legislative action looms and a new guardianship agency is debated.
