ASHLAND State attorneys laid out the case Tuesday that a youth treatment center in the Mohican Memorial State Forest has a pattern of putting the children in its care in improper restraints that present a risk to their health and safety.
It was part of an injunction hearing on the Ohio Attorney General’s motion to remove the director of Mohican Young Star Academy and to install a new manager.
The case is being heard in Ashland County Common Please Court.
