So isn't this systems of care conference the same one Pressly Ridge RTC gave money to fun a couple years back? I wonder if Maia knows about that and the fact that Pressly Ridge is getting or gotten sued for restraining a kid so hard that they broke both of the kid's arms?
Interesting that... Email time!
