Looks like the "EXPERT" isn't answering any questions of taking interest in comments...A simple query to the proper authorities indicated that the child was actually hospitalized for several days with broken bones. Judge Denton of Blount County who ordered the child to Acadia Village was "very disturbed" by the incident.
Support from management is almost non existent, always short staffed, staff are in potentially dangerous situations with little help and at times single staffed when they shouldn’t be.
Judge Denton can be seen here

I understand a youngster who was court ordered to the Village was severely beaten by another patient a few weeks ago. Apparently this happened while staff was “not aware”
How is this youngster doing?

(Past Employee – 2009)
“No management support, no morale among staff.”
Pros
If you enjoy working with troubled kids, then there are a lot of opportunities for you to counsel them.
Cons
Support from management is almost non existent, always short staffed, staff are in potentially dangerous situations with little help and at times single staffed when they shouldn’t be.
Advice to Senior Management
The kids are the ones who are suffering. It isn’t all about the money. That isn’t why the Village was founded and it is on a downward spiral.
