Amazing Closures and Victories in 2016

It's been several months since I've last updated. I'm just keeping track of all the news that's been going on and it looks like there's great progress. 2016 was quite an eventful year for our war on the troubled teen industry. To start off there have been several closures of VERY abusive residential facilities and "schools" that have flown under the radar long enough.

2016 Closures:
Midwest Academy - Keokuk, IA
Eagleton School - Great Barrington, MA
Turning Point Youth Center - St. John's, MI
National Deaf Academy - Mount Dora, FL
Mesabi Academy - St. Buhl, MN

There has also been some political victories, Congressional Candidate and ex-child abuser Paul Babeu has not only lost the election last November, but also his job as Pinal County Sheriff. I guess that video that surface really gave insight into his background and true intentions if elected. Also we were elected a president that seems like a game changer. Trump doesn't seem to have any conflict of interest with known companies such as CRC Health Group and UHS. So could we see reform and accountability that's long overdue in 2017?

All we can do now is hope.
