Scott Walker's shameful legacy (Giving children with complex mental health needs the shaft edition)



Why Is Wisconsin Sending Hundreds Of Children Out Of State For Mental Health Care?  (WisCONTEXT, 5/15/2019)
Many of the children from Rock County requiring complex care have been sent to Youth Villages near Memphis. While Horozewski is satisfied with the care they've received there, he said the sheer distance children are being sent from their homes in Wisconsin can create a barrier for lasting change. 
"They're very disconnected," Horozewksi said, whether it be from their families or from local treatment and transition services. 
"It's hard to transition kids back to the community when they're so far away," he said.
