The Danish police has charged 12 people with various acts of violence against the teenagers who had been sent to the facility named Solhaven in the Danish hamlet Farsoe by the authorities.
The teenagers were according to the charges exposed to violence and acts of humiliation by the employees.
The facility has fired the people charged with crimes. Officially due to the economy of the facility, but in reality to distance themselves from the charges the employees have been hit with.
Several of the charges are many years old and according to Danish laws acts of violence should have been reported to the authorities which are supposed to monitor such facilities. Numerous inspections have found nothing and because the area where the facility is located suffers from massive unemployment leaving it a major contributor to local jobs it is properly a question of putting support of local jobs over the interest of the children placed at the facility.
We will keep our readers updated on the situation.
