It didn’t seem to matter what the teen treatment center did wrong. The state of Utah always gave it another chance. Death. Abuse. Criminal charges. Bizarre punishments. Whistleblowers coming forward. And each time, the place got a pass.

A team of reporters from three news organizations has spent the last year digging into the untold stories of Utah’s massive teen treatment industry. Some 12,000 teenagers struggling with depression, delinquency and other problems have been sent there for help over the last five years. APM Reports, KUER and The Salt Lake Tribune investigate how the government failed to keep all those kids safe.
