Shut Down Diamond Ranch Academy


Shut Down Diamond Ranch Academy
The Issue

On December 20th, 2022 17-year-old Taylor Goodridge collapsed and passed away at Diamond Ranch Academy after being sick for some time, yet had not received the medical care she needed.
It has been reported that Taylor had been sick for MANY weeks and had even collapsed in her own vomit a week before her death, however she was never taken to a hospital and was told to "suck it up and "drink more water".
This marks the 4th death that has occurred at Diamond Ranch Academy (2 allegedly from medical neglect and 2 suicides) in its 20+ years of existence. Through survivor and staff testimonies, clear patterns of abuse and neglect have been reported including:
- Medical Neglect
- Physical and Sexual Assault
- Isolation and Seclusion
- Forced Labor
- Hiring of Child Sexual Predators
Taylor's family has filed a lawsuit against Diamond Ranch Academy, and will stop at nothing to make sure there is justice for Taylor. Please sign this petition to help us close Diamond Ranch Academy once and for all!
