Second Utah facility housing Oregon foster youth to close

A second Utah facility where Oregon sends foster care children is shutting down.

The news that Mount Pleasant Academy is closing comes immediately after news that Red Rock Canyon School in St. George, Utah, is also closing its doors after reports that children were being abused in the facility.

Both treatment facilities are owned by the same parent company, Sequel Child & Family Services.

There are three Oregon youth at the Mount Pleasant school and the state Department of Human Services officials will begin to transition the three Oregon boys to another facility.

Other placements for the children have yet to be identified, but some youth will likely be transferred to other out-of-state schools, including to some owned by Sequel.
