Two other institutions that Caron operates have troubled track records of their own. Last month, a staff member at the Vermont School for Girls in Bennington (above) was charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student. In 2017, a math teacher there was convicted of similar crimes and sentenced to at least 12 years in prison. And Mount Prospect Academy, a nonprofit that runs residential treatment programs for youths in New Hampshire, is facing approximately 125 lawsuits from current and former students who allege they experienced physical, sexual and psychological abuse there.
