When her son was in crisis, Angela Hunter had nowhere to turn. Austin had started acting out at school around the time he turned 8. He’d steal things from other kids, disrupt the class, and refuse to do his work. He spent almost every day in the principal’s office at the local Catholic school, where he would lie on the floor under the desk. Angela ...
Today Sequel is one of the market leaders in the behavioral health industry. It reported annual revenue of more than $200 million in 2017 and employed approximately 4,500 people in 2019. Sequel formed two decades ago to operate a single facility. It arose from another for-profit juvenile corrections company called Youth Services International (YSI)...
Almost immediately after she said goodbye to her son Austin on the manicured grounds of Sequel’s Lakeside Academy in Michigan, Angela Hunter’s high hopes began to fade. “Looks are deceiving,” she said. Her first concern was that her phone wasn’t ringing. Even when Austin was in juvenile lockup, he’d always been allowed to talk to his parents. But a...
The problems at so many Sequel facilities aren’t a coincidence, according to interviews with more than a dozen former employees from around the country. They described similar themes: low pay, high turnover, a staff stretched too thin, caring for children who have experienced trauma, and who have complex emotional problems and psychological conditi...
In late January of 2019, Oregon state Senator Sara Gelser’s phone rang. It was a local reporter who wanted to know why Oregon was increasingly sending kids in the foster care system to treatment centers in other states — some as far away as Tennessee. It was the first Gelser had heard of the policy, which was odd because Oregon’s top child welfare ...
Long before Sequel, Gelser had earned a reputation as an advocate for Oregon’s most vulnerable children. She had years of experience: The day before her 21st birthday, and shortly after she graduated from college, she gave birth to her first son, who had a rare genetic disorder. Gelser quickly realized that for her son to get the care he needed, sh...
Gelser was on a family vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, when the 45-year-old lawmaker got a call from Chris Roussos, the new CEO of Sequel. He said he was in the midst of overhauling the company. He had installed hundreds of cameras and had been on “listening tours,” visiting the facilities and speaking with residents. He asked if he could meet G...
A few months later, on April 29, a 16-year-old named Cornelius Fredrick Jr. was in the cafeteria at Lakeside Academy, sitting alone at a table, when he threw some bread at another resident. It’s nothing that hasn’t happened in every high school lunchroom in the country. Fredrick methodically removed the crusts from his sandwich and tossed it underh...
Among the dozens of kids who witnessed the restraint that killed Fredrick was Austin Hunter, the 15-year-old boy from Minnesota. They’d been friends. In the days that followed Fredrick’s death, riots erupted at Lakeside Academy. Students brawled along racial lines. ”Blacks against Mexicans,” according to the police reports. Staff were overwhelmed. ...
