Mrs. Sutton signs the petition....
Since the preventable death of my daughter, Michelle Lynn Sutton, in a so-called Wilderness Therapy Facility, I have hoped and prayed for a law that would govern this lucrative, out of control industry. There are two fatal flaws, that cannot be regulated. The "window of loss" mentality that says of the death of each child, "we lost ONE, but we are saving many," and the Hitlarian mentality about these kids that continues to claim their young lives. These two fatal flaws must be weeded out of the industry by improving the quality of care within the industry, while seeing to it that a level of expectation is in place and enforced. I have often said that I as a parent could not have done TO my daughter what was done TO her and walked away a free person. How is it that this industry can?
