635. Pleasantville Cottage School

It is one of the oldest treatment homes of its kind in the area. However the residents are concerned about riots. Decades ago one boy killed another. It does not seem that the supervision has improved since leaving a possibility that other families might suffer the same tragedy.

It cannot be fun to be there as a child – neighter being neighbor to the facility.
