      Report notes that “the number of suicide attempts and self-harming gestures” are proof that Long Creek is wrong for most children (p.8).

      The report found that Long Creek staff are not sufficiently prepared by on-the-job training programs to safely supervise youth. #MEpolitics

          “Many of the problems at Long Creek have emerged from failings of other support systems and services outside of the facility.” (p. 73).

          And when the facility learns of sexual assault, it doesn’t always tell parents, caseworkers, or attorneys. (p. 71). #MEpolitics
