Caitlin Lee - 2011

15 year old Caitlin Lee was found dead on some railtracks. The official documents speak of suicide. Whether it was suicide or just a freak accident during one of her 17 escape attempts we cannot know because we weren't there.

What we do know is that she according to her family was doing very well at another facility before she was transferred to ChildServ. Placing a teenager in the care of the public system is often a question of money. Was the reason for her placement at ChildServ. a question of saving money?

Most likely. Of course the officials will deny it but in this case the cost-saving operation resulted in her death.

May she find peace where she is now.
