A hell on earth They will claim to help you or your troubled youth but in reality it is a bunch of cowards who just like feeling they're in control when in reality they have absolutely no control over a single happening. They will not help your troubled child; they will just psychologically scar them for life. If I would've known the place the way I know it now, I'd rather my cousin go to our local jail than go to this place.

cecily b. i think keystone is a very good place to place a child in need of help. The psychological problems those children have and scares from emotional stresser that they had to face in there short life is overwelming and for the staff to take good care of those children. well i think they deserve a pat on the back. people dont see what some of those staff members are put threw, and to still hang in there as if those children were there own for most part. i commend keystone and ask to keep doin what ur doin.

Kids come first.... my ass. Keystone. Its horrible. I still wish it wouldnt be fuctional. I was there from 2007-2008. It is DEFINATLY NOT a place someone would want to send their kids.... AT ALL.

But What do you expect? Im locked in this place for ( what the standard stay is ) 6 months in a caotic place. I honestly would have rather... read more
