This Industry Thrives on Secrecy

Here is another example of how keeping communication lines open is helping the FIGHT against INSTITUTIONAL CHILD ABUSE!

This industry thrives by limiting communication. However, with internet use becoming more and more common, the communication lines are being opened back up, and the word is getting out across the nation. They are used to changing their names and/or the locations of their businesses and getting away with it, but it just isn't as easy to hide anymore! Thank GOD!

Today the Great Falls Tribune posted the following headline: Report on Swan Valley Boot Camp Prompts Former Director to Resign New Job.

This story is about Chris Perkins, former director of the Swan Valley Boot Camp in Montana, and against whom there were substantiated abuse allegations against. He then went to work at the Maryland State Juvenile facilities until yesterday's news report came out about him. Read more about it here.

One more thing these articles demonstrate is just how the private program mentality infiltrates the government sponsored programs (and visa versa). The cross hiring between private and public facilities is why the same unproven and harmful methods are used in both types of programs.
