Here's something still from last year, but worth mentioning: a hit-and-run death of a 14 yr old by a former staff member. Allegedly the girl might have survived had she been helped.
One of the comments in a TOPIX thread on this article mentions why the girl was walking along that road that night:
"Really sad is that the girl was walking in the road because she just had a fight with her parents. She left the house walking and then got killed."[/list]

LAKE COUNTY - A man who counseled troubled teens in the Tampa area could return to Lake County next week to face charges that he left the scene of a crash in May that killed a 14-year-old Clermont girl, prosecutors said Tuesday. Paul Wright, 43, also was charged Monday with tampering with evidence, a felony that accuses him of using spray paint to cover up damage to the vehicle he was driving May 15. The crash on County Road 565A killed Megan Hensley, who was walking on the dimly lit highway. Wright and his passenger, Deneen Rossa, 37, were headed to Rossa's home after a date in Clermont. Megan's mother, Rhonda Conard, said investigators told her Megan did not die instantly and might have lived if Wright had stopped to help her. Wright, a group adviser at Tampa Bay Academy, faces up to 30 years in prison.

This article would not have been posted if the girl was not in the program. Walking on a dimly lit highway is not smart. This is common sense people!

As far as I have been able to determine, the girl was not in a program. I posted the article because the perp -- of a hit and run -- was a Tampa Bay Academy group counselor.
Perhaps your "common sense" precluded you from actually reading that ~160-word article.

The "gulag counselor (fornits lingo for program staff)" is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We still don't know all the facts about the incident.
