The for profit industry that warehouses vulnerable kids for cash stretches to the other side of the Atlantic. Oregon is not alone. These kids need help now. seekingalpha.com/article/426699… #orpol 
BBC footage documenting dehumanizing abuse at for-profits may be shocking, but not unusual. Thousands of US kids, including from OR, are in these places. They face same type of ridicule, abuse, & humiliation. They have fractured bones, stapled heads & broken spirits to prove it
All of this is done for profit as regulators and policy makers in multiple states and countries look the other way.
Companies like Acadia, Sequel & UHS have turned our most vulnerable kids & adults into nothing more than cash cows hidden away behind locked doors in communities far from the people who care for them.
It’s time to end this violent, immoral exploitation of those who deserve our protection most. This is not just a sad story. These are real people, real tragedies, and real lives being destroyed. It’s time to bring it to an end.
No child or youth should be abused & exploited for corporate profits. Whether in US or UK, it's time to hold these providers accountable. I'm proud OR is trying to do something about this, but we must team up with regulators in other jurisdictions to keep all kids safe. #orpol
