Kenneth Barkley - 2014

15-year-old year old Kenneth Barkley died as result of a restraint attempt. The group home run by OhioGuidestone placed the employee responsible on leave but did little to provide new guidelines for when to attempt restraining the children placed at the home which potentially could place other children in harm in the future. The authorities ruled his death a homicide.

For the family of Kenneth Barkley the death was tragic and they suffered a terrible loss.

May the poor boy find peace where he is now.
