462. Nexus Glen Lake

This residential treatment facility ran into some problems in 2016. An investigation into a rape case resulted in discovery of missing background checks of employees hired. The facility which houses girls in need of help are a heaven for criminals with awful motives. The management did very little to protect the girls. At least a check into who they let guide the girls could mean a lot.

The state doesn’t seem to take this area seriously. The organization Nexus was only fined 400 dollars for not doing the background checks good enough.

It cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.
