Officers responded nearly 1,000 times in the past three years to an Iowa juvenile treatment center where a staff member was killed by a 15-year-old resident... Her family's attorney, Trever Hook, said the 50-year-old mother of two daughters suffered brain damage and died Tuesday after life support was removed.
Hook questioned whether the facility provides adequate training for staff dealing with sometimes dangerous clients... The 15-year-old had a violent history and had made previous threats against Galloway-Menke, Hook said.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Ellipsis said employees are thoroughly trained on de-escalation techniques and ways to handle a variety of situations safely... Young people housed at the facility in the Des Moines suburb of Johnston are there on court orders, the organization said in a statement.
