Report: Sex abuse high at 13 juvenile centers
blombrowski:
I think we can agree that privately run or publicly run or privately run and publicly funded, the larger the program the more problems you're going to have, the less oversight (as opposed to regulation - i.e. Utah plenty of regulation, little oversight) the more problems you're going to have.
The issue of abuse in juvenile detention placements is one that all of us should be concerned about. When young people who have been in juvenile detention start speaking out about the abuse they suffered on a daily basis, the way survivors of privately run programs have been, then maybe we can look forward to real action being taken. This report is certainly a start.

Not necessarily. Consider all the "parents" out there who run their own homes as mini-programs. There was another very small one with four girls, run only by a man and wife; after three of the four tied her up and beat her with a frying pan (LOL PWNED, should have hit her harder!), they got out of it after that.
The only difference between a larger and smaller program is that the larger one can abuse more kids at one time.

That's pretty convoluted logic. The reason there are less sexual abuses in private programs is that there are simply
less kids in the private programs.
I'm sure the state runs better backround checks. And doesn't just hire their cronies.
Whooter:
Studies typically report results on a statistical bases so what they are saying is the “rate of sexual abuse” is lower in the private sector and smaller programs. So the thinking still holds true in my opinion. Parents would be wise to choose a smaller local, private program vs a larger state run facility.
