When an employee acts improper with a child in the care of the facility you work for, you should be able to report it with facing consequences. The welfare of the child must be prioritized first. In most countries and states there are even laws mandating employees to report the dangerous interaction between an employee and a student. There are laws mandating the facilities to report it to the authorities.

So when an employee reported such a relationship between a student and an employee at Midwest Academy in Keokuk all the management had to do was to call the local sheriff and turn all evidence over the authorities so an investigation could be started. Regardless of the outcome the facility would not have faced any consequences. It could turn out to be a misunderstand. It could turn out that an employee would have been convicted.

But the management at Midwest Academy fired the employee instead and failed to report the incident to the authorities. So when the employee filed a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal the authorities looked secretly into what was going on at Midwest Academy.

Their initial investigation turned into a full scale raid and now the parents were told to collect their offspring. Of course that is kind of traumatic and causes a lot of disturbance for the parents. Midwest Academy is that kind of place where you place your unwanted children at; Children who might be the result of a rape; Children who might be the product of a previous marriage causing memories of a relationship the parents rather would forget; Children who were just born too late in life so parent fell robbed of the opportunity to retire early and go on cruises.

Now they have to collect what they had thrown into the streets so to say. Of course some of the children will be sent to Louisiana, Utah or Mexico where you find places of similar standard with a structure where the children have to pass exams based on mind-games where they have to take acceptance for every misdeed they experienced in their life. Mind-games where they learn that they have to take responsibility for incest they were exposed to, rapes they were exposed to, being in the wrong place that means being alive when their parents wants to remarry other people.

The parents must be angry at the management of Midwest Academy because now they suddenly have to step up their responsibility. It is here the case become odd. Now the parents have created petitions defending the facility. It is far from the first time parents create petitions defending the unspeakable. When the authorities raided Reclamation Ranch in Alabama which was a place where the religious employees shackled the teenagers in their care a petition also was made. Regardless of the petition the court fined the manager and both Reclamation Ranch and Rachel Academy was closed.

Hopefully the authorities in the home states where the children at Midwest Academy come from will look into the dysfunctional structure of the families who have sent children to the Academy. There might be younger siblings to save. Some of the children are even sent to Midwest Academy because their parents want to expose them to the damaging gender therapy several states ban.  We recently learned about such a case involving a Josh Bruno. We hope the recent events have freed him.

In the future we can only encourage employees to be as brave as the employee who started the process which has led to the closure of Midwest Academy. There is a reason for these laws mandating facilities to report this. It is about protecting the children.
