Funded by taxpayers and private equity, this “troubled teen industry” hotspot charges up to $20,000 monthly while operating with minimal oversight. Former staff and parents describe jail-like conditions, drug incidents, and a lack of education or proper training. Despite claims of success and external oversight, state inspectors found evidence of obstruction and chaotic management. This exposes a dangerous gap: vulnerable children promised healing instead face neglect, profit-driven neglect, and a system that rarely holds anyone accountable.
