Xelebes:
What are the vacant buildings?  Are they dormitories or are they old farming structures?  Are they used in any capacity?

Apparently this campus used to be the old Cascade School (CEDU offshoot). Maybe someone from that program might know more.

"The [Julian Youth Academy] has leased a 250-acre ranch formerly known as Shepherd's Ranch and the Cascade School, east of Whitmore, since 2009."[/list]

Oscar:
It is the old Cascade and Shepherd Ranch Academy campus. We have decided to give this case a special page with links from the victim list page.

I went to this "christian school" and there are many stories to be told, I can't believe it has taken this long to reach the media.Breanna Heydon · Everest Colleges, Institutes, and Universities · November 11, 2011 at 7:11am
I went to that same school for 20 months....and I knew Jessica...Iam a mother and I think its disgusting what she did....Ive been friends with her on facebook for about two years and I think its funny how no one is mentioning all the drinking and partying she's been doing and continued to do while pregnant.Alyssa Frazier · Nanny at Independent Contractor · November 11, 2011 at 2:23pm
Actually the article states she drank every weekend.[/list]

I went to the "school" as well... There are so many things that have happened there.. I'm suprised it is still open taking "troubled teens". Dig deeper.Lindsae Anne · November 11, 2011 at 11:27am
Finally there is something that they can't run from. I hope the police does a full investigation there.Dionne Lake · November 11, 2011 at 11:32am
I went to this "school" and first off, its not a school. Its a behavior modification program dressed up like a school. They are lying about her position there. She was employed by Julian Youth Academy, and she was a staff member in charge of the care of many young girls. She was also a former "student." I find it appalling that she was hired on after being a student in the program. What licensing or accreditation did she have to care for these girls? Why is it that Julian Youth Academy is hiring many former students as staff members? This subject has been brought up before. Concern about the level of qualifcation the staff have has reached the ears of the CEO, Phil Ludwig, as far back as 2008. Google Julian Youth Academy and check out the LA Times page. Its time for Phil Ludwig to start answering some serious questions. What the heck is going on over there?Crystal Maurer · San Diego, California · November 11, 2011 at 11:41am
This story is appalling in every aspect. A friend of mine went to this school and told me of the weird things that go on there. I find it hard to believe that any decent parent would send their children here with hopes that it will help them and they would be cared for while people like this are in charge and the mentors.Megan Goldblum · November 11, 2011 at 2:26pm
Hello My name is Megan Goldblum and I am a past student of Julian Youth Academy. I am shocked to hear the news regaurding Jessica Bradford as I'm sure none of us could predict such an act of cruelty coming from her behalf as many of us were friends with Jessica Bradford and many others looked up to her. I wanted to state that Jessica Bradfords behavior is not reflection on Julian Youth Academy. We are all responsible for our own choices and actions. Unfortunatly the incident did occure on the academys property so my concern is that the academy might be liable. My concerns for the program are the young girls that are being mentored. They are in the process of discovering themselves and making better lifestyle choices- so is this environment the best one for their growth? Also I believe that Jessica Bradford is deep down an intell...igent beautiful young lady who oviously was in need of guidence herself. My opinion is that I believe JYA needs to hire individuals who have some sort of licencing and are perhaps older that in there 20's. As I feel that when your in that age bracket in some instinces you may still need more maturing yourself. I feel that Jessica Bradford needed help and guidence herself so how could she possibly be a possitive mentor to other teen girls when she was only 23 years old and needing guidence herself. As a past student and mother myself I believe that Julian Youth Academy has changed since the previous directors retired. The Lights had a very mature and possitive influence on both the school and the students. My thoughts and prayers are with Jessica and her baby, The family, The school, and all the individuals that were effected.Patricia McCann · December 31, 2011 at 8:48pm
I am sorry to say that while you may have admired Jessica, as an employee of Julian Youth Academy who worked as a mentor who lived on the premises, she most definitely DOES represent Julian. Her behavior was irresponsible immoral, and not acceptable in ANY civilized society-let alone a home for troubled youth with whom she has contact. Now Julian is obligated to provide outside counseling to all residents who had contact with this employee who clearly was NOT properly monitored or even properly screened prior to employment. By having Jessica on the grounds working with troubled teens, Julian did a disservice to all of its students and failed to uphold its responsibility for their safety and care. A baby killer is not considered a role model in anyone's book.[/list]

Like it or not, the Julian Academy has actually helped more young women than not. Maybe it wasn't the right program for you, but don't dismiss its benefits.Sarah Otteson Warkentin · November 12, 2011 at 9:00am
And making illegitimate opinions before one really knows the whole story and leading others astray is the same level as murder! Be careful what you say! It does have it's consequences, too!Alexandria Newlin · November 12, 2011 at 11:22am
Sarah Otteson Warkentin How is an opinion ever illegitimate? That is why it is called an opinion, not a fact. And what consequences, are you threatening us?Tracy O'Campo · November 13, 2011 at 12:14am
Alexandria Newlin: I did not read that she was being threatening. She was just saying that what you say, whether right or wrong, has consequences, a truth that I try to teach my kids as well.[/list]

Funny...........I went there too, but I don't recognize any of you.......this place saved my life.Emily Schneider Carrera · November 11, 2011 at 5:48pm
They should have been shut down long before now! was a student there for 10 months and 10 days. hate everything they say they are, and glad this came out and hope they loose everything. Wish I could sue them for all the stress and pain they caused me! not to mention the staff that said they had the rights to do what they did.Sara Moody · Redding, California · November 11, 2011 at 10:46pm
Really? A support group? What the heck is wrong with you people? She MURDERED a BABY, who had NO choice but to STARVE to death while she went on with her own life? I hope all the "people" who want to love and support her, get the opportunity that this little girl had, I hope you all get to starve to death while the person you care about, and the person who is SUPPOSED to take care of you, watches you starve to death. Can you imagine what this baby had to endure? Crying for her mommy because she is so hungry, knowing her mom could hear her while she was dying and did NOTHING!
I don't care what you all THINK God would do, I think God would NEVER want his children, his angels to be killed at the hands of those who are supposed to protect them! I hope I am there with you when you all enter the gates for your Judgment day, and the one you all think would want us to forgive her and support her during her tough time, get to see the look of disappointment on his face, and my laugh as he sends you all to where you should be going..... There is something wrong with you people!
SICK b**ch!
