SkyView Academy is closing

One would think the death of a child would warrant the immediate closure of any program pending an investigation instead of allowing them to stay open, especially in light of the fact that had this boy been taken to the hospital, he most likely would have survived.  What happens if another child gets sick and the staff doesn't seek proper medical attention?

Any sane person would come to this conclusion. i posed that very question to Ken Stettler -- why didn't Youth Care get shut down while an investigation was done? He said the Constitution gives them a right to due process.  But where is my dead son's due process? He certainly didn't have any Constitutional rights the night he died.

Obviously the Nevada department of licensing does not share this view that they have a Constitutional right to keep their programs open, since they took immediate steps to close down Sky View Academy after a hazing incident. Strange way of thinking in Utah. I would like to challenge the legality of Utah's position.

Utah DHS needs to get bombarded with legitimate complaints about their negligence in not taking stronger action in not only my son's death at Youth Care, but all of the previous deaths as well.

For anyone interested in voicing their concerns about the way Utah's licensing works, here are some key email addresses:

Ken Stettler - Utah Director of Licensing - uag@utah.gov

Lisa-Michele Church - Utha Executive DirectorDepartment of Human Services - JKNAPHUS@utah.gov

--- Quote ---I am the mother of the boy who was the catalyst to Skyview closing. I want to clarify a few things. First and foremost he wasn't gang raped but he was sexually assaulted and more than one boy participated in it. Secondly, this was not a "hazing" as the school has so conveniently tagged it. Nothing could be further from the truth but that is the spin they have tried to put on it from the beginning. After speaking to many parents that are now picking up their children and finding out all that has gone on there, it seems that it has long been their pattern to call all types of abuse "hazing" or "incidences". Anything to keep the truth out of their so carefully orchestrated dialogue. Part of the reason that our son is home and that the school has finally been exposed for what they really are is that, although we have previously had trouble with our son, I believed him when he told me what had happened. There are many other victims appearing now and one of the worst things that I have heard is that other parents had previously been told (by their kids) that these types of things did happen to them. However, these parents were convinced by the school, that it was lies they were telling in order to get out of there. From all appearances, the staff had plenty of knowledge of what was going on there and never made any attempt to stop it. All of the boys involved in this incident and several others which have now been reported to the police are in custody and awaiting charges to be filed. I would encourage all who read this board to get the word out to not only let parents know what these people have allowed to happen, but to call the DCFS Bureau Chief, Melissa Faul (775) 684-4439, and express to her how important it is that their appeal is denied. The State of Nevada was aware of numerous incidents of violent sexual incidents dating back to May of 2007 but still left the school open. They have full reports on these incidents and are finally investigating them all. There are charges going to be filed and hopefully all those who are responsible for allowing this to happen will be punished. If you find any other parents that have children who are victims, please have them email me at (Email address).net and I will get in contact with them and help them in any way that I can. Thank you all for the concern you have expressed for our son. God Bless you all.

To all,
Our family is very concerned about is. We have a friend that was at skyview when it closed. Her family has now taked her to Spring Creek Lodge in Thompson Falls , MT. Does anyone out there know anything about the closing and did the local news cover it???

Also what about Spring Creek Lodge, is it any better ? If you know anything please let us know. The family has not returned yet. We are praying for them all.
May God be with all the children there.

Thank you,
and God Bless

This facility is as least as bad and they even have a facility to hold people over 18, if they are terrified about taking the "Exit Plan" (Ticket to nearest busstation and a life in a shelther forever banished by their family. Remember they have not even talked to other than the parents for months. So they know little of whether at least someone are still loving them.)

About the facility over 18.

The fact about her being shipped to the place where Karlye Anne Newman died is interesting because SCL claims that they have NOTHING to do with WWASP and that their relationship is a done deal. Interesting!

I forgot: Actually it is worse in Montana. You have local authorities founded by the facility (Cars, uniforms etc. at the local police are bought by the facility) and a state board, which are to regulate the business with members from the industry.
