Brendan James Blum - 2007

The mother of Brendan James Blum was forced to put into treatment due to pressure from the authorities. She found what she believed was a fine place run under the guidance of one of the biggest operators of treatment programs for minors. A business often seen on TV-shows like Brat Camp and Dr. Phil.

But for 14 year old Brendan James Blum the facility chosen became a death trap when the employees failed to take action when he fell ill. We don't know the extend of pain this young man had to endure before he finally was granted peace. We do know that had the employees reacted and taken him to a hospital his life might have been spared.

The group home is no longer in operation and the customers - the parents - now know how dangerous residential treatment can be. Unfortunately too late for young Brendan James Blum. His family tried to help him. This huge firm failed both the boy and his relatives.

May he find peace where he is now.

Dillon Taylor Peak - 2006

His mother was driving to the camp where Dillon Taylor Peak was held when she received a phone call where she was informed that her son had fallen ill. He was scheduled to be released later that day but he never made it home. He died at the hospital only days later having never gained consciousness.

The investigation showed that he had been hospitalized before during his time at the wilderness camp and that the employees had failed to follow guidelines. It was a fatal mistake which cut his life short to only 14 years.

May he find peace where he is now.
