Authorities have removed 27 children from a
youth treatment facility in northwest Montana, citing "consistent and
chronic allegations" of medical neglect and physical and psychological
abuse.
The state Department of Public
Health and Human Services said it had suspended the license of the Ranch
for Kids in Rexford, in Lincoln County near Kootenai National Forest
along the Canadian border, "to prevent future abuse."
"The
27 children that were removed are now at a safe location," the agency
said in a statement on Tuesday. "They are receiving medical care. The
details of their care and condition are confidential."
