News articles have been popping up all over the place over the last week. I guess when the Inspector General comes to town and an entire state is agast with the atrosities that goes on against already vulnerable young people, it makes news.
Strangley encough you actually have to be looking for it. I suppose the news paper is too full with headlines such as "how does a bear get to the ocean front." One can only surmise that no one wants to think about these throw away children. No one wants to think about these kids being abused, because then WE'D ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
What's unfortunate in all of the articles that I'm reading is that of course they are complaining about the gross negligance that children are being subjected to, as they should, but if you read on, it says "all or some of the 113 children will be removed....depending on placement." This is HILARIOUS. North Carolina should be ashamed of themselves too. One one hand the situation is so terrible that you want to remove all of the kids, but on the other hand, not if it causes your workers to do too much work in locating new placements?!? Essentially, NC is fine with "all or some" of their kids being abused in the wretched hands of Pines staff. WOW.
Here's the link to an April 22 article from The Pilot:

The issue was the level of care. Blue Shield had chosen to write all treatment in any facility licensed as “residential” as excluded from benefits.
