School poses a threat to children, say investigators

State investigators ordered the emergency suspension of Mount Bachelor Academy in Oregon after confirming multiple violations of state rules and allegations of child abuse and neglect, including sleep deprivation, forced manual labor, and inappropriate therapy workshops. The facility was cited for failing to maintain a safe environment and lacking adequate mental health professionals. Separately, an affiliated wilderness program faced scrutiny following a student's death.

Reporting this program

This program closed in 2004, so the state agency that licensed it can no longer act against it. Other channels may still be able to: the boards that license the people who worked here, law enforcement, and the civil courts.

The Oregon reporting channels list each one and what it can do. Time limits depend on the state, the kind of harm and the survivor's age, and many states have lengthened or removed them for child sexual abuse, so a program closing long ago does not by itself mean it is too late. Laws change, so the time limits we list were correct when we checked them but may have been updated since; a lawyer can tell you where things stand now.
