616. Children’s Receiving Home

The Children’s Receiving Home in Sacramento has since 2012 been investigated by the authorities. Among the points of interest in the investigation were poorly trained staff, mishandled medications and filthy dorms.

An employee had an improper relationship with a child. The dorms continue to be filthy to such a degree that the inspectors cannot stand how it smells inside the dorms when they inspect the facility.

Still it remains in operation.

We are asking. How much should it take before such places are closed down?

It cannot be fun to be there as a child.
