751. Glen Mills School

The Glen Mills School has seen a number of students being redrawn by the counties which sent the teenagers to the school originally. The reason seems to be the violence the teenagers were subjected to. Why it did not happen sooner, is an interesting questions. Decades have passed since the first reports of violence. Still many counties continued to use the school. Why did they not intervene sooner? Was the school an ideal solution for teenagers, none cared about until the media took notice of what went on at the school?

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