739. Newport News Behavioral Health

Newport News Behavioral Health became known to the general public when a teenager died there in 2018. An investigation is ongoing to determine whether the death was caused by neglect.

It seems that the center is run putting profit before care

One parent wrote:

Literally THE WORST!!! From the beginning, to the end!! My child was checked in Tuesday night, I call on Wednesday afternoon to check on her and they’re unable to tell me anything “because they haven’t seen her yet”. Really?? She’s been there over 12 hours and no one has seen her?? Hmmm. THEN I GO to the facility on Friday and ask to talk to the counselor. She comes out looking clueless. She literally asked why I was there and what I wanted to know from her. Really??! I responded with “you’re the counselor??? I would think it would be a STANDARD question of parents asking how their children are.” How is she adjusting? How is she feeling?

Every time I called during the week she was there chaos greeted my calls. No one has a clue and apparently “so busy”. BTW… my daughter told me they only had SIX patients. Really??!!! Busy?? Ok.

Then to top it off out processing was just as bad. Some random lady who hadn’t even worked my daughters case greeted me, had me sign papers and rushed me out the door. She was unable to answer any of my questions regarding her care. I asked her at that time for a doctors note stating my daughter would be able to return to work.

It is now a week later, no letter. I called ALL DAY today (about 8 times… just randomly sent to different ppl, or no answer at all) I was told first thing this morning that I would receive the letter. It’s 4:30 pm… no letter. I call AGAIN. I eventually get ahold of a Ms Lisa who informs me that she was the one i spoke with in the morning, and *surprise* “she’s so busy and was going to send me the email at the end of the day.” Is 4:30 not the end of the day? Do you need to be RUDE in your delivery?

I was told “ignore the reviews! Only negative ppl leave reviews and no one ever leave their good experiences!” But I am telling you.. this is the least professional, unorganized group of individuals I have ever seen!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE if you’re truly wanting them to get help! (One more thing… my daughter told me they were only kept busy roughly 2 1/2 a day… the rest of the time they’re alone or watching TV) Terrible TERRIBLE terrible all around!!!!

It cannot be a fun place to be as a a teenager.

737. St. Patrick’s Cathedral choir

St. Patrick’s Cathedral choir in Melbourne has been revealed to be the hunting ground of a pedophile hiding in the service of the church. He was brought to justice but not before the damaging caused upon the children resulted in the death of one of the victims properly as result of the horrific memonries.

It could not have been fun to be member of the choir as a teenager.

736. Society of Saint John

This little monestery does not exist anymore. It was sold for other purposes in 2004 and that is good compared with the purpose it had before which seemed to be that priest could have intercourse with students.

It could not have been fun to be there as a student.

734. St. Mary’s Mission Boarding School

St. Mary is a small community located in the state of Alaska. For many years the Catolic church ran a boarding school there. Today it is known that the church did not stop the actions of Father James Poole. He was active in the 1960’s and 1970’s putting numerous girls through ordeals which no girl should be subjected to.

It is safe to say that it could not have been fun to be there as a teenager having a body which he took interest in.

733. North Spring Behavioral Healthcare

A 15 year old boy died after he was restrained by the employees. Even when the court in the end came to the result that one of the employees was innocent of his death, it does not change the fact, that every restraint include the risk of taking the life of the child. Despite the trial the facility did not change its ways. A girl later needed treatment as result of her interactions with the employees.

A facility where the focus is on use of power instead of counseling is not fun to be at as a teenager.

732. Loomis Chaffee School

“It does always happens to others” is the thinking of present students at the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut. But it does happen to someone and it destroys their lives.

So why put up this false wall of safety when it is not there and it is a random lottery to be safe?

When investigation are done they uncover one incident after another. It cannot be fun to be there as a teenager once you loses in the lottery of safety.

731. Ontario’s child welfare system

Ontario, which is a part of Canada is set to have a child welfare system. It is certainly not a system you want to be part of if you are a teenager.

Placing a child in a random place hundreds of miles away from the family and friends and not providing education to the foster parents is almost planning that the children should not survive to grow up and become adults. Suicides count for some of the deaths.

The system could be better put together but as always it is properly about the money and how you can save most.
