THE VIOLENCE AND MEDICAL NEGLECT OF OUR YOUTH CONTINUE  AT THE YOUTH STUDY CENTER.
Independent investigators found potentially life-threatening conditions in direct violation of safety regulations including locked fire doors with no available keys, children with serious medical conditions denied medication and lack of medical health services to suicidal youth. In the last 3 weeks alone reports include:
- children beaten by guards including hits to the face with belt buckles 
- girl taken to hospital was prevented from contacting parents and they were also not notified
- at least two suicide attempts
