Another program closed!

Good news, good news, Boss!

Another youth confinement program is closed - and hopefully it'll stay that way.

A months-long state investigation of Mount Bachelor Academy near Prineville, Oregon, revealed child abuse, neglect, and major violations of state licensing rules. This "therapeutic boarding school" for troubled teens has now been immediately closed by Oregon's human services bureau.

This closure is only on a temporary basis for now, but it may become permanent.

The probe found 9 substantiated acts of child abuse or neglect. As an example of this, teenagers at this "school" were required to make self-degrading comments out loud in front of peers, or forced to engage in "sexualized role play."

But Mount Bachelor is seeking a restraining order to stop the state from closing it.

"The industry" may not be beaten yet, but it's feeling the heat.
