Web Site Tracks Deaths of Children from Institutional Abuse

The Coalition Against Institutionalized Child Abuse monitors and reports the deaths of children and youth in institutions such as residential treatment programs, boot camps, and other such facilities. According to the Coalition Web site, there is no federal or state agency doing this important job. Thanks to Bob Seeley, a Pennsylvania human rights activist who has fought against the use of seclusion and restraint for many years, for bringing the site to my attention.
