No charges filed in teen's death at campground

JOHNSON CITY -- The state continues investigating how a teen-ager died during a child welfare agency's camping trip last month, but no charges have been filed in the case.
Adora Grae Stout, 17, was with another teen and two supervisors at a Johnson City campground when paramedics were called Jan. 8. Stout, who appeared to be in cardiac arrest, died the next day.
District Attorney General Joe Crumley said he does not have final results of the autopsy, ordered after Stout's cause of death was listed as "suspicious, unusual or unnatural." Crumley said he hopes to present the evidence in March to a grand jury, which will decide whether to indict the two camp supervisors.
Meanwhile Omni Visions Inc., licensed by the state to provide foster care and other family support services to about 400 children in Tennessee, has stopped its camping and hiking programs.
"It makes us wonder how (this happened) ... and be sure we don't go this route again," company president James M. Henry said Tuesday. "It's devastating for all parties involved when this comes about."
Stout had been in state custody about four years and was supervised by Omni Visions. The teen's family has declined to comment.
Henry said he was not allowed to discuss Stout's family background, medical history or activities at the campground before she died.
But the camping trips are designed to help troubled teens build self-confidence and learn how to overcome problems, he said. The program gets teens away from the television, video games or friends who may be a bad influence, he said.
"When kids have a difficult time, we try to get them outside," Henry said. "We were trying to help the child by getting her to concentrate on herself."
The Washington County Sheriff's Department, which responded to the call for help at the campground, termed it a "boot camp" because of the tents and activities there.
But Henry said his agency never has run a boot camp or other punishment-based program, which the state does not allow. The Tennessee Department of Children's Services has taken no action against Omni Visions since the incident, said spokesman Ava Philson.
Henry said his company plans to keep helping youngsters.
"All of our children have a multitude of problems," Henry said.
