"Oh stop trying to change the subject. Who listed here died of a car cash??? If a kid kills themselves while awaiting being sent back to the program, YES, I for one think that should be included. It would be a lot easier if these places kept a list and records for all to see. Or if there were some kind of regulatory agency who kept records, or anything. But there is nothing, so the best anyone can do is paste together information from newspaper articles, and first hand accounts. If you as so concerned with accuracy, go work to change the structure of these programs as many of us are doing. Obviously you have no interest in that though!  :wstupid:

Yes, piddly detail, the fact that so many died in circumstances that were utterly unrelated to programs. Off with their heads! Murder, I say!!

Joke around all you want. Belittle these deaths all you want, it changes nothing. You show your true self.  :eek:

I dont think anyone is belittling the deaths and no one is changing the subject.  Its about credibility. I believe the list title was "Lists of Deaths in Facilities".  My original point was if a person died outside the facility he cant be on the list.  One needs to be very clear if you want your list to be taken seriously.  Call it "list of deaths of people who attended a facility".  If you dont do this it casts a shadow on every name on the list.  You should be fair to everyone else on the list!!

None of those kids died in a car crash or you'd say who you think it was.  Ryan Grasso died at home and the cause is being determined, though it seems the papers are insinuating it was a suicide.  Corey Murphy was a suicide.  

Program trolls, people who get out kill themselves because they are traumatized.  Corey Murphy didn't want to get sent back and would rather die than live in a WWASP program again.  Kids are killing themselves and WWASP employees can account for their blood when they meet their maker.  WWASP employees live on blood money, it's no cleaner than drug money.  These suicides are on your head.

You guys forgot the chick at SCL who hung herself when i was there 8 months ago. I saw the whole thing... she "apparently" died on the way to hospital even though her heart stopped a few minutes before the abulance arrived... ::soapbox::  ::unhappy::

She was under the care of the facility at the time.

And Chris Sutton is on trial for hiring a hit man to murder his mother and for the attempted murder of his father.  He spent years at WWASP's Paradise Cove.

[Anonymous]

Valerie Heron committed suiced by jumping off of a balcony at WWASP's Tranquility Bay.

[YuckFou]

Even one murder is too many. These places need to be shut down. This is unbelievable.

[Anonymous]

Murder?  Consider the sheer numbers of students and the two on campus deaths (suicides) in all the years they've been around.    Focus on those two and you forget about all the lives that have been regained.   :wink:

"PARTIAL LIST:



LIST OF DEATHS IN FACILITIES

There is no federal or state agency that tracks the number of deaths or the cause of death in residential youth facilities. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy.

Legislation passed in 2000 by Congress (Children's Health Act 2000) that requires treatment facilities who receive federal funds to report deaths caused by restraints and seclusion procedures within 24 hours after the child has been removed from restraint or seclusion or when it is reasonable to assume the death is a result of the restraint or seclusion.

                               * Peritonitis is infection (or inflammation) of the peritoneum, which is a two-layered membrane covering both the surfaces of the

                                 organs that lie in the abdominal cavity and the inner surface of the abdominal cavity itself. It is frequently life-threatening and

                                 acute peritonitis in a medical emergency. Outlook for untreated peritonitis is very poor.
