Welcome back this morning we are hearing allegations of serious incidents that happened at one of the few residential Substance Abuse programs for teenagers in the bay area. Kristin airs has the story they regret their children ever went there. When she got out, she was worse. This mother regrets the day she sent her 16yearold daughter to a Treatment Center to get help for alcohol addiction. Right from the start she says. Translator i began to suspect there were things that were not right. On one of her early visit she noticed kids coming and going at the oakland facility as they pleased. Her daughter will call her mary says counselors let residents run free. They told me you can get away with a lot of things here. And that led to problems from day one with one male resident in particular. He was already acting really controlling and possessivhe woui wouldnt do like hug him or talk to him. She says she complained to staff but it just got worse. He would pick me up and just throw me on the couch out of nowhere and i would be like i would be so confused. One day mary left with a group of kids including this former resident will callscombra. There would be multiple times where i would leave with other kids that were there. This time the request was for alcohol. After we finished the first bottle we got another one. Thats when mary says the male who had been harassing her started getting angry again. Jay claims he witnessed the boy assaulting her in a stairwell. I see the otherid on top. Hospital records show mary was admitted due to acute alcohol intoxication with bruises on her neck. How is it possible that i put her in a place that is supposed to be safe and this happened. Marys experience here at thunder road is not isolated. Weve spoken to 5 bay area families who told us the facility offered little to know therapy sessions for their children and did not monitor whether they were using drugs or alcohol. Our investigation led us to several employees who confirmed what they told us. It was very chaotic. I noticed that they were allowed to push the exit doors open and go out and Smoke Cigarettes and come back in. It was such a common thing to do. Being able to walk out and go and do drugs and bring drugs back in. And she says the residents were always hungry. The teens would get up and say what are we eating . Theres nothing down there for us to eat. Theres molded food. Old food. Thunder road has four type a citations which are the most serious and six type b citations. Among the substantiated findings failed to meet food service requirements. Failed to meet drugs brought into the facility and failed to adequately supervisor minors. Kay filed one of those complaints. Shortly after that she was fired. When a parent relinquishes your child to your care and hopes youre going to support their child and do that and youre not doing that its beyond ethical. The non profit that runs thunder road. She turned down our request for an interview. In a statement, the company told us thunder road provides a structured Program Building trust through appropriate behavior and open communications and treating oneself and others with respect. It would not comment on specific cases for privacy reasons. I have cried so much that i cant cry anymore. But marys mother wants everyone to know about the harm that happened to her daughter at thunder road so that it wont happen to anyone else. Translator that place is not safe for any patient, any child. Any mother. I believe they should shut it down. Kristin also discovered something strange. Even though local agencies tell us theres a huge need for residential Substance Abuse for teens they have none. All right. Tune in for that tomorrow. Right now a check on the roads. So far we dont have any major trouble spots out there. A look at the overall big picture shows theres really not a whole lot out there except for a lot of green for those of you who are going to need that extra cup of coffee youre going to have time for it. Although it is in the opposite of the commute direction. Eastbound on the east shore freeway right there at pinole county road. It is in the opposite commute direction and they have cleared everything off of 680 southbound thats all good to go in a much better situation. This is in the final stages getting this out of the way righthand shoulder right there at 205 Mountain House parkway. Are you slow and go coming out of the altamonte pass down to 16 miles an hour if not slower all the way through the altamonte and once you get out of it youre in a muc better situation out of the dublin interchange. Where were not seeing slowing. A little bit of a delay on westbound 84 but nothing terrible to report per usual. That is a 35minute ride. You have gained a minute. Not bad at all for this hour. Highway 4 looks good as does 101 coming out of the south bay. The bay bridge metering lights are not yet on but they should be here in the next couple of minutes. In the meantime you can see it is a slowgoing approach to the toll el paso sda backed up under the 880 flyover. And boy what a difference 15 minutes makes looking at the san mateo bridge in the westbound direction. There are no major issues that are going to be causing you to slow down. We are starting off the day with low clouds and areas of fog along the coast and for parts of the bay ocean breeze is going to kick in through our afternoon and temps will be cooler. About 5 to 10 degrees cooler compared to yesterday. Heres a live look at our Treasure Island camera with those clouds and temperatures running in the 50s. Oakland and livermore 61. 62 san jose and 57 for santa rosa. So your weather headlines were starting off the day gray for most parts of the bay. Clearer skies inland. That stronger ocean breeze will cool us down for all of us across the bay area this afternoon and near average highs through the holiday weekend. Lets show you satellite and radar view and with this low pressure system thats going to usher in that stronger marine influence for us and thats why we are looking at cooler daytime highs. Going hour by hour on future cast and you can see clear skies with that clearing and sunshine as we go through the afternoon for most of us except for the coast. So the coast you will still stay cloudy through the afternoon. And you can see it pushing in all the way into our inland locations for tomorrow morning and then some clearing. Temps will be even cooler for tomorrow and for friday. A quick update on Tropical Storm dorian thats nearing the Virgin Islands and puerto rico right now. Currently 60 miles southeast of st. Croix packing massive winds of 60 miles per hour. This track likely making landfall over the Virgin Islands and puerto rico this afternoon. Close to hurricane veng. So a strong strength. So a strong storm over the Virgin Islands and puerto rico. So close to hurricane strength. We could see up to 10 of rain and strong and damaging winds. As it moves over the warm atlantic waters likely strengthening into a category one storm and approaching the florida coast as a category one storm later in the week or early next week. So that is a possibility in watching that closely. As we go through the day today back at home you can see cooler temperatures but right around where we should be. 86 for a high in santa clara. 85 san jose. 90 to morgan hill. Looking at 89 for Pleasant Hill and concord. For San Francisco about 70 degrees. 69 berkley. 74 oakland. And 80 for pedaluma. Heating up as we look up to the north in you chiia.
