There was a death by restraint at this school last year and many parents cited the school as condoning abuse. Upper Marlboro is about an hour from me. When I first saw this story last year, I thought it unlikely that this was a gulag school, but the more I read the story of how the other kids piled on him while the counselor was "restraining" him, made me think there had to be something fishy going on. The parents are suing and the counselor is facing a manslaughter charge still pending.

The family of a 17-year-old student at Edgemeade-Raymond A. Rogers Jr. School, who died last year after a confrontation with a counselor, is suing the Maryland school for failing to adequately train staff in harmless ways to restrain students. The altercation began in gym class, when four youths were ordered to lie on their stomachs, a practice commonly used to control students at the school for troubled teens. When the victim failed to comply, the counselor stood behind him and placed him in a chokehold, at which time the other kids jumped on the staff member, all falling on the victim. Even after complaining of not being able to breathe, the adult did not let go, leading to what Maryland medical examiners called a homicide. The counselor is set to face manslaughter charges on Jan. 30. Since the attack, the school has been accused by other parents of condoning child abuse.

There used to be an Edgemeade in SW Va that was closed because of sexual abuse. This was in the 1970's. I am looking for information on this school but cannot find it. When and where was Edgemeade first?

Geez... That's quite a story. I can't imagine anyone ever fully physically recovering from such a fall.
