An investigation from ProPublica shows that one Knoxville-area facility is putting kids in solitary but skirting scrutiny by classifying the seclusion as "voluntary."
Shona Garner-White says she is "seeking the truth" nearly two weeks after her 17-year-old daughter died while in the custody of the Tennessee youth group home she had voluntarily sent her to for help. Garner-White held a news conference in Memphis on Wednesday along with her attorney Benjamin Crump and other family members, demanding answers on behalf of her daughter, Alegend Jones, who died Nov. 17 at a hospital after being taken there from the Youth Villages facility in the Memphis suburb of Bartlett. Officials at the youth home said the teen died from a "medical emergency" while under their guardianship.
