1. WITH: ADOPTED-LOCKED AWAY-MONEY
2. DESCRIPTION: LAKE OZARK, Mo. — One of America’s largest residential treatment centers for adopted kids is often used to place vulnerable children using taxpayer dollars. An Associated Press investigation reveals that despite tens of millions in public money flowing into these kinds of institutions every year, there’s little oversight and few consequences for such for-profit, privately-run programs. In contrast to the industry’s slick marketing, the lack of accountability leaves kids exposed to chaos, abuse and violence in lockdown facilities like Calo Programs in rural Missouri.

4. WITH: ADOPTED-LOCKED AWAY-MONEY-SCHOOLS
5. DESCRIPTION: Sidebar: SAN FRANCISCO — Private residential treatment centers are quietly making millions every year in public school money meant for students with disabilities with a lucrative and opaque business model that critics say makes it virtually impossible to hold them accountable. Yet even in the face of scrutiny over the safety of residential treatment programs, this money continues to flow largely unencumbered given the fractured bureaucracy of the special education system, an Associated Press investigation finds.
