Any news articles on this death?
You know actually, I don?t and I don?t believe there was much if anything. The parents wrote a really nice letter back to ASR that I had the privilege to read and ASR let people know through their news letter to inform parents and alumni who knew him. It is sad that not all the kids can be saved and it really hits the kids hard when something like that happens.
Inquiring minds want to know....
Where are the stats that might show a successful track record? Deaths? Injuries? Assaults? PTSD?
Why do they not compile such data?
I really don?t know. Talking with many kids who were working on getting into college, at the time, they seem to just want to put their time at ASR behind them. If it was a regular boarding school it would be one thing, but it is a TBS for troubled teens and if you say you attended the kids feel they need to explain to everyone (every time, because they are curious)
Why did you have to go there? Many view it as a ?Speed bump? in their travels thru life and isn?t a highlight of any of their conversations, even though it had helped them to get back on track.
Maybe some of you who have attended will understand, and this is why there is not much data compiled on the graduates. I see the same thing here on fornits it is difficult to compile data on those who have moved on because ?They moved on?, I imagine. It would be helpful to have better access to statistics, though, I agree.
Hope this helps.
