803. New Horizon Group Home LLC / Robeson County group home for children

In 2018 state regulators visited a group home just outside Lumber Bridge in North Carolina. They found that the children did not receive the care, they needed according to their placement and closed the newly opened group home down again.

Years later immigrant children will be housed in the same environment. Hopefully there are no expectations into how they will be treated because past history show that it will become a warehouse for the children where they will not receive proper education or other treatment.

It could not have been fun to be there as a special-need child. It will properly not be fun to be there as an immigrant child either.
