There are hundreds of schools like this in the USA which still exist, alongside a few outside of the US. I would suggest looking into the "Troubled Teen Industry" - that's the catch-all term for "schools" like this. Here's a link with a list of currently active places like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/wiki/index/active-programs/
While some individual 'teachers' and 'therapists' have been sued over the years (usually after the direct death of a student), I can't think of any real responsibility being taken by a leader of an organisation. Often, if a school gets sufficiently low ratings and sufficiently poor publicity, the staff just close the school and make a new one, or rename the existing one.

Was this the last of this type of boarding school or are there more in the USA? Also has anybody been held responsible for this mass child abuse and torture?
