12 year old Khalil Todd died as result of a traffic accident which happened just outside the group home, named The Lighthouse where he was forced to live. It is unclear why he was allowed to walk near the road wearing all black clothes which meant that it was difficult for drivers to see him when it is dark. The group home got its license suspended after the death occured.
It seems that the employees took little concern about where the boys in the so-called all Christian facility played. According to neighbors they did little to prevent this tragedy. A place out there a family now miss their boy.
May he find peace where he is now.

Alec Sanford Lansing - 2014
Trying to overcome loss in the family 17 year old Alec Sanford Lansing was placed at Trails Carolina, which is marketed as some kind of wilderness thing. During an outing he needed time for himself leading him to leave his group. During his time alone he fell and broke a bone. Unfortunately he fell in water which cooled him down causing his death.
Sometime away from home is not the answer when it comes to deal with personal loss. Marketing and television shows have made many believe that wilderness based treatment is safe. But nature can be cruel and unforgiving.
It is double tragedy for those left behind. First dealing with the loss which lead to his treatment. Then the loss of Alec himself.
May he find peace where he is now.

Unknown - 2013
A unnamed 14 year old boy being placed at the Grandfather Home for Children downed in Banner Elk.
His death seems to have been accidential. Could the school have watched better out for him? Maybe.
However it is not to know. He could have slipped within seconds and if one person is in the cold fast running river there is not a chance so save him. It is a wooden area and it is hard to keep sight of everyone. The school took a little too long to alarm the authorities but it is doubtful whether it would have any difference due to the nature of this river.
May he find rest where he is now.

Wade Johnson - 1951
Wade Johnson was only 15 years of age when he was shot by two other students at the boarding school he attended.
The Alexander School was a boarding school operating until 1998. While judged as a good place to live for children who was not cared for by parents or extended family, the place also nursed a kind of fearful environment where students kept their secrets out of fear of punishment. Unwillingly Wade Johnson breached the code of conduct and gave information to the head master W.C. Sweatt about a forbidden relationship with a girl.
For this breach of conduct two students shot both Wade Johnson and the head master. The oldest boy was given life in prison. No information has been found on the nature of punishment for the younger killer aged 16 at the time. A girl who was involved was sought by the police. It is unknown if she was punished.
For poor Wade Johnson his placement at this now closed boarding school meant death. It is unfair and tragic. May he find peace where he is now.

Sabrina E. Day - 2000
15 year old Sabrina Elizabeth Day died at the My Brothers House Residential group home. Three employees tried to restrain her and she hit her head during the process causing her to die.
Her mother lost her child and she was quoted
To comfort a mother based on the fact that incompetence caused the loss of her daughter is impossible.
Poor Sabrina Elizabeth Day got too short a time in this life.
May she find peace where she is now.

Dyskeha Streeter - 2011
Dyskeha Streeter did not have an easy life. According to our sources she battled a mental condition. Destiny took her a new group home and when she complained of chest pain she could have used divine intervention.
However she got none. Instead she got the very best Divine Guidance Integrative Services could offer her which was nothing.
As result of their negligence she died from blood clots in her lungs.
16 years were all she got in this world. It is just too short a life to offer anyone.
May she rest in peace.
