to me, Jeffery
I would have them get the answer to that question.
Because there is a law enforcement investigation, it is a 10-day QA (that makes it a
critical incident with an alleged law violation) and you will need to follow up to get the final
determination of their investigation to see if any other rules were potentially violated and what the
agency does about this staff member before you close it. (Did this staff have a cleared BCI?) .

Summary of Issue:
This is according to recollection:
indicates that he has touched or grabbed bottom several times over that last couple weeks in
line or in the group room. He tries to get close to her whenever he can.
reports that on Friday, March 15, 2019, during the skiing trip, he and were sitting on the bench
with staff. He doesn't remember if it was . The staff were talking with other peers and
reached over and grabbed crotch. He indicates it was a fast touch and there wasn't a
conversation about it.
On Saturday, March 16, 2019, on the way home with rec, was sitting on the first back seat bench and
was sitting directly behind her on the right side of the van. He states that he tapped her arm and
pointed toward her crotch. She moved his hand to be under her clothing. He reports that he digitally
penetrated her as much as he could while she was sitting. He also said that she had her hands in his
pants and that she was not rubbing, but had her hand rested on his penis.
Yesterday, March 19, 2019, and learned that they would be going to the library. said to meet
her in the adult fiction section before they left the library. He asked if they would kiss and she said yes.
HE states that when they went to the library, he first looked at movies and then went to the adult fiction
section. She said she wasn't ready yet and to come back so he came back later. They were looking for a
book for her and talking about sexual topics. They kissed each other (he says it wasn't a french kiss), and
he touched her crotch. He states that she held his arm there for about a minute.
On the way back from the library, was sitting in the front passenger seat and was sitting in the
seat right behind her. He states that he tapped her shoulder to get her attention and she didn't look, so
he tapped and rubbed her butt area for the rest of the drive trying to get her attention. She didn't ever
look back or acknowledge him on the ride.
This is according to
It has basically all happened this past week. I think about a month ago he was talking to me and he said
something about wether I was 100% bisexual or gay. That question kind of scared me. I panicked and
said I am bi and I am not. I guess it kind of gave him a green light and some leeway and I didn't realize
that I said it but I did. About a month ago we were watching Guardians of the Galaxy and and I
were on the same couch and I was sprawled out on the couch and he was sitting up for the first half and
then adjusted himself and got closer to me. 10 minutes later my hand was out and I wasn't paying
attention and he then grabbed my hand and held on to it. I didn't say anything because I didn't want
that attention. It lasted only about five minutes. That's what only happened that day and the majority
of what happened happened this week. On rec we went on a hike it was about maybe two hours to the
trail(car ride) and about two hour back. There was a kid in shotgun, don't remember who. was
sitting in the front row and is in the middle and I am by the door. was in the row behind me.
About 20-30 minutes in to the drive I turned around and said Hey that's not my seat belt, and instead of
my seatbelt around my waist it was his arm. It stayed there for about another 20 minutes and I wasn't
really doing anything because I was kind of scared. We have about 20 minutes left in the drive now and
he moved his hand from my waist down to my butt, and it was there for about 5 minutes. We are about
5 minutes away from campus and he moved his hand from my butt to my groin area. We were really
close to campus by the traffic circle going up the road and his hand then moves to my upper groin, at
this point he had his hand under my pants touching my groin and then I tapped him as I saw the school
and said that's enough. Then there was the library, same deal. We went to the library, I was in shotgun,
I was the only girl in the van and nothing happened in the van both ways. We have an hour in the library
to find a book and came up to me after about 45 minutes and then sits there and moves pretty
freaking close to me to where if there was a magazine between us it would drop. I then felt his hand go
from bracing himself up to on my hip lightly. From that point it goes from my middle half down to my
butt again, ha, but this time nothing happens with the pants, they stay where they are, but this time I
felt like a minor squeeze. Now we have about 2 minutes left (staff) comes over, he doesn't
know anything happened, moved away, I said Hi and he asked if I had the books I wanted
and then he said lets go check out. I turn and not go to the exit and go back in the isles and saw
and he told me to go back to two isles by the romance novels I think, so I am walking down the isle, ha
ha wink wink, and he is walking behind me and grabs my arm gently enough to get my attention, I
stopped and turned around and he guides my arms back and I turn and face him and before I could say
or think about anything then it happened. It starts with a K and ends with an S. It lasted about .5
seconds or less than a second and at that point I am kind of like okay I am going peace out and went and
checked out my books got in the van and came back here and tha's the end of that

Licensee Follow-Up
Actions Taken by Licensee:
Call 911. Emergency CPR delivered per instructions. returned to Elevations and was immediately
placed on precaution status for heightened supervision.
Actions Planned by Licensee:
Once was found and 911 was called, communication to on-site nursing and appropriate
administrative staff (program director, on-call therapist) did not occur per policy and procedure. While
this was not a factor in preventing the incident, it made communicating with parents and others
challenging. We will be reviewing the communication flow and process and determine if any changes
are required. At a minimum, retraining on the procedure will occur in the upcoming days. Additionally, a
review of criteria to be used to place students on bathroom precautions/interventions will be done and
changes will be made if determined necessary.

Summary of Issue:
Hello,
I was at Elevations RTC and I believe there is abuse and mistreatment going on. Physical
restrainst were very violent and used quite often. I have watched a kid get tackled to the ground so hard
his face was gushing blood as he was restrained there for at least half an hour. I have cleaned another
kids blood off a cinderblock wall after staff smashed his head against it. I cannot even count the number
of times I watched kids get restrained and listened to them screaming, "Stop! It hurts! Please stop!
You're hurting me!!" Kids are often restrained even when they are not a threat to themselves or anyone
else. In addition, the method of restraint is quite unsafe and results in dislocated shoulders and other
injuries. Sexual abuse is also a concern. I heard from a student who was there 12 years ago that the
, , had sex with multiple girls at the facility. I also know a kid who was
assaulted by another student and told staff. Who did nothing. Psychological abuse is also present. One
of the most egregious forms of it in my opinion was isolation. Isolation was used as a punishment, with
very minor offences getting an hour, and major ones up to 3 months. We were told that the isolation
was legal because the door was open, but the psychological effects are the same. I knew several people
who were isolated for over 2 months, and started having hallucinations because of it. There are many
many more forms of mistreatment at Elevations RTC that I do not have time to mention, but it is enough
that now I see a trauma therapist for the trauma I got there. I still have nightmares that I'm back there,
and I've been out for about a year and a half now. Elevations RTC is abusing vulnerable and suffering
teenagers and it cannot be allowed to continue. If there is anything you can do to investigate I would be
so grateful. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide or something else I should
do. Thank you for reading my message and I hope you have sympathy for me and hundreds of other
teenagers with similar experiences.
Sincerely,

Summary of Issue:
Received a call from Justin Manco, therapist, (Saturday, Feb 15th) at around 5 PM. Justin
reported that he had been on campus most of the afternoon trying to help de-escalate. Justin
reported had seemed down this morning and then escalated throughout the day. He reported
that over the past few hours, had escalated significantly, had broken the plastic ceiling light
covers, removed and broken the florescent light tubes, removed and broken the metal frame around
the light, and removed the electrical fixtures in the lights, exposing bare electrical wires. At that point,
was on the top bunk in his room with broken plastic, sharp metal frame, and glass shards all
around him in the bed. had been throwing broken glass at staff and was threatening that if
they tried to touch him, he would cut himself with broken glass or he would cut them with the broken
glass. Any time staff got near him he would brandish the broken florescent light tube and threaten to
stab them if they came any closer.
Justin and I (Gordon Day, Licensed Psychologist and Director of Seven Stars) agreed that
presented a significant threat to himself and others and since numerous attempts to de-escalate him
had failed and due to the risk for staff and other students, we would need to call the police and EMS to
have taken to the emergency department. Justin notified parents and educational consultant
of what was happening, while nursing called EMS to make arrangements for them to pick up
and take him to the North Davis Emergency Room for assessment and hopefully admittance to an acute
psychiatric facility for stabilization.
When Police and EMS were finally able to get in to the ambulance, he was transferred to North
Davis Emergency Room. Justin Manco also traveled to the Emergency Room and gave them
medications list and informed them of dangerous behaviors that afternoon. Justin reported
to me that the emergency room personnel told him he did not need to stay and that the Crisis Worker
would not be able to see until late that night. Justin left his contact information and
encouraged the team at the Emergency Room to contact him if any information was needed.
was transported from the ER to Highland Ridge for admission.

to me
Hi Amanda-
was transferred from Primary Children's hospital to Uni on 4/24/20. The decision was made by all
involved (mom, treatment team here, Primary Children's) that she needed a higher level of psychiatric
care. Thus, she is currently discharged from Elevations. The plan is that she will return to Elevations once
she has attained a higher level of psychiatric stabilization. This is likely to be up to another 6 weeks as
they are considering ECT for her. has articulated that she wants to return to Elevations. However,
she has not been communicative about if and how she was able to cheek the medications she originally
claimed she did. We have asked the peers in her group and have not been able to gain any additional
information that may help us to ascertain how she may have been able to cheek the medications. In the
absence of further details we have done additional staff education on the current medication
administration policy to ensure compliance and we did complete room searches for contraband. No
contraband was discovered.
When does return she will be on the additional medication cheeking protocol as mentioned.
Let me know if you need anything further. Thank you!. The following email was sent and is no
longer in their program.

Summary of Issue:
The practices at Elevations RTC are abusive to the point where multiple kids attempt suicide each month
just to get out of there. Many abusive disciplinary practices are employed to brainwash (not
metaphorically, these are techniques used in organized abuse) kids into blindly obedient robots under
the guise of "treatment." Also, they purposefully overmedicate and the therapists blatantly overstate
their qualifications, often retraumatizing people and rarely, if ever, practicing ethical therapy.

Summary of Issue:
It is reported that the child has said that there is an increase in traumatic experiences at the facility and
have been there for over a year and there is more trauma. No further details are known beyond this.
It is reported that there have been concerns for forced medicating, not being able to see their parents,
physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of the children at the facility. It is reported that there are concerns
for sexual relationships with staff, improper restraints and slamming children into the ground or walls,
and excessive confinement. It is reported that there are interventions that are not evidence based. It is
reported
that there are concerns that licensing is a self governed organization and they allow this behavior to
happen in facilities like this. It is reported that there are concerns of mail being read, phone calls being
monitored.
It is believed that there is supposed to be a box where children can voice their concerns at residential
treatment facilities that are locked and facility staff cannot read this and there are concerns that
children don't have a way to voice their concerns without staff being aware of this and ignoring them.
It is reported that there are concerns about children staying in residential treatment for too long and it
affects their mental health. It is reported that this is concerning because adults would need severe
mental health concerns to be inpatient for a year.
