RCI: When current and former staffers at Tri-County Schools for troubled youth gathered for a reunion this May at the Brass Cat bar in Easthampton, they did not know what was coming.
By the end of that month, the head of the nonprofit that operated Tri-County for 30 years would announce the school’s abrupt closure for the next school year. Two months after that, the reasons for that closure would become clear: the release of a damning investigation which found repeated abuse of the often traumatized children the school was designed to serve.
That abuse was enabled by internal turmoil and administrative unresponsiveness to staff and student concerns, a MassLive investigation has found. Former staffers, students and parents said that school leadership placed under-supported and ill-trained staff on a collision course with emotionally troubled students, leading at times to physical violence and avoidable injuries. read more
Now we know where democrats come from.
Everyone who is astounded by this please raise your hand.
OK – everyone who was at least mildly surprised by this raise your hand.
Anyone?
…Hello?
Sorry @Vietvet, got distracted by a crowd of those who just needed and wanted hugs,,, and not democrats that always know better than the rest of us Rubes.
@Snorky1: I don’t think anyone’s blaming the former administrators here, just their undertrained replacements.
Vietvet, so true, better to look forward with confidence, and just forget the phony past wish of hope BS, sincerely.
These institutions often fail. OTOH, we should be building asylums across the country to house Communist-Democrats. They don’t need to be manned, just padlock the doors from outside.
