"Keeping children safe by exposing residential treatment centers/private boarding schools and their continued abuse against the children in their care."

 U.H.S.

Universal Health Service Inc.

U.H.S. also known as Univeral Health Services Inc owns a large amount of Troubled Teen Boarding Facilities in the United States. While they are also involved with hospitals, they have landed on the Safe Teen Schools website because of their lack of care of children in their boarding schools. We recommend that no parent send a child to a U.H.S. Inc boarding school. With their track record of abuse against teens we feel these facilities are not safe for children. Below you will find a list of both Open and Closed facilities involved with U.H.S. Inc. You will also find links to lawsuits against them. If you have any information please come forward so we can research and make the public aware.
 WARNING!
DO NOT SEND A CHILD TO AN U.H.S. INC. FACILITY!

Rock River Academy
Rock River Academy is located in Rockford IL and is under the umbrella corporation Universal Health Services (UHS). Rock River advertises themselves as a therapeutic boarding facility for troubled girls. It is not a lock down facility which means the girls can leave at any time. While we do not see a problem with this, we do see a problem that the parents are not notified that their child has left. There have been countless allegations of sexual abuse coming from this facility. Also, none of their staff are listed on their website not giving parents the proper chance to do research on who will be working with their children. Rock River Academy is currently being investigated by the Department Of Justice.
