BURIED DEEP IN AN OHIO FOREST, a state-sanctioned NIGHTMARE is unfolding. The Mohican Young Star Academy, a facility meant to heal troubled youth, has devolved into a WARZONE where children are STABBED with pencils, beaten with bedposts, and left bleeding while administrators BLOCK 911 calls. This is not treatment—this is TORTURE.
EXCLUSIVE bodycam footage and internal documents reveal a SHOCKING policy: staff are FORBIDDEN from calling emergency services without direct approval from ownership, even as brawls involving dozens of youths erupt. “NO STAFF SHOULD EVER CONTACT 911 UNLESS I AUTHORIZE THAT,” commanded CEO Terry Jones in a damning email obtained by investigators. Teachers, fearing for their lives, texted family members to dial police as children armed themselves with rocks and bricks.
FIVE MAJOR “RIOTS” have rocked the facility since November, leaving workers with concussions and children with traumatic injuries. Yet the state’s effort to shut down this hellscape FAILED. Now, new owners are sacrificing safety for profit, admitting they serve “challenging youth” other programs REFUSE while draining local emergency resources dry. “You should not have to respond to the same facility… two, three times a week,” blasted Ashland County Sheriff Kurt Schneider.
The community lives in TERROR, with residents arming themselves as youths escape into the surrounding woods. One worker’s own child begged, “Mom, you don’t need to go back there.” But the real question isn’t why she returns—it’s why the state continues to FUND and license this house of horrors. This is what happens when vulnerable children are hidden away and forgotten. We are all complicit in the chaos we choose not to see.
