There are 2 licensing issues going on that need LOTS of people to write or call and state their opinion. Otherwise these 2 cases will just fall by the wayside as have so many others. You need to state that you support the license suspension and closure of the facilities, and urge licensing to always close down a facility pending any investigation of abuse or death. both of these facilities have licenses under review, don't let these cases just die off......
1. In Utah - Death of boy at Youth Care - Youth Care has contested the licensing suspension. Anyone who cares that they may not recieve any licensing sanction needs to contact DHS by writing or phoning Ken Stettler or Jan Knaphaus, and/or complain that they were not immediately closed down pending the investigation.

2. Closure of Sky View Academy - they have also contested their licensing suspension. Call or write to voice your support not only of the suspension, but also the closure of the facility during the investigation.
