WOODS CROSS — For the past two years, FOX 13 News has revealed what happens inside Highland Ridge Hospital in Midvale. Employees there spoke up about a culture they say required them to break the law; not reporting all cases of patients being raped or assaulted.
The child victim was reportedly head butt, kicked, and punched in the face because"they say he has a 'punchable face.'""I explained my concern with the late reporting with the assaults reporting going back months... and a week of frequent assaults with no reporting to police.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings agreed. He confirmed juvenile cases should never be closed simply because a child suspect is in a psychiatric facility. Rawlings also stated WXPD is not required to screen cases with a prosecutor if officers cannot establish probable cause. Additional video: What does consent mean? He also addressed the idea of"consent" between juvenile psychiatric patients.
"The facility is regulated by a governmental entity whose job it is to allow them to exist," Buchanan said."The children are there in the first place, and they're in a place that's authorized to do business." "The goal is not to shut people down. The goal is to help them become better providers," Richins said."We don't compare facilities, because facilities aren't apples to apples and oranges to oranges."
