Two Boys Towns locations in the state of Nebraska have stopped receiving referrals from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services after concerns were raised regarding mistreatment of residents.
“HHS spokeswoman Jeanne Atkinson says referrals to both programs were suspended on Aug. 26, and Boys Town has already started addressing the problems cited in the review. [Kara] Neuverth says Boys Town expects the suspension to be lifted upon acceptance of its corrective action plan…” - Source: The Associated Press
Though the review detailed the type of mistreatment that was taking place, those details have not been released to the general public.
