SOMEONE NAMED KEVIN RUSCH CAME TO MY SITE WITHOUT EXPERIENCING MY OWN COMPANY. AND GAVE US A 1 STAR RATING. THIS IS THE FIRST 1 STAR I'VE EVER GIVEN. I'LL REMOVE IT ONCE KEVIN REMOVES THE 1 STAR FROM BNI. APPARENTLY HE WORKS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION.

I was a child in care at youth village the foster parents were ok but the psychiatrist overdosed me on Zoloft I was 14 at the time and Zoloft is not recommended for children. Other kids would be passed out drooling on themselves on the floor at the therapist office from bipolar medications. I really hope that psychiatrist isn't working there anymore my biological parents should have sued. But hey it make's for a great biography so thanks for the trauma I will be writing books about my experience in foster care.

Utah Youth Village is a non-profit with a for-profit leg called Alpine Academy, where young people are being abused and systematically brainwashed. They employ sexual abusers (such as Jonathan Carver, now in prison for rape, Kayla Walker, still employed there despite rape allegations from her past, and a house parent named Royal who has been accused several times by young girls). Most staff are unlicensed, those who are licensed are fresh out of school and totally inexperienced. Dozens of victims have come forward identifying themselves as survivors of the abusive program Alpine Academy, which is owned by Utah Youth Village. It is disturbing that Utah state foster care funding goes toward abusing teens. This is all about making money, benefits trafficking to get school district funding from out of state (especially California). Alpine is being exposed in the news nationwide as many survivors take part in the #BREAKINGCODESILENCE movement... nearly everyone I went to Alpine with (at least 50 survivors of the program) have voiced dissatisfaction, said that they were abused and that the program caused them trauma. Alpine Academy functions like a cult. It is harmful, not helpful. Both businesses need to be closed for good
