Taylor was native American, a member of the Stillaguamish tribe in Washington state.
"She had a new baby niece who she saw pictures of while she was at Diamond Ranch but never got to meet. Her heart was so big and she cared about everybody."Taylor's dad said she cancelled their final scheduled phone call because she was too unwell but says he had no idea about the extent of her illness.On 20 December, he was preparing for Christmas and had posted Taylor's presents the previous day so they would arrive at Diamond Ranch on that Tuesday.
An investigation by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services found that Diamond Ranch Academy was aware Taylor was ill and did not take her to the hospital or to receive further medical care or evaluation.

At Diamond Ranch Academy, Matt Thomas claims that letters were checked by staff members before sending."If they tried to mail a letter off to their parents, it would get sent back with corrections on it."You can't say this. You can't say that." Even their letters were getting redacted, so that certain information wasn't leaving the school.
When asked if she was shocked about the circumstances surrounding Taylor's death, a tear rolls down Shayrena's cheek. "My feet were taken from underneath me and I was dropped to the floor and they started doing the pressure points," she says. While at troubled teen schools, communication between children and their families is often severely restricted and carefully monitored.
Diamond Ranch Academy is no stranger to tragedy and scandal. A 14-year-old boy died of complications from a genetic disorder while attending it in 2009. Shayrena produces two pictures which show her during her time at Diamond Ranch. The first is in colour, she is wearing a hooded jumper with a lake and mountains in the background.
"One of the staff was like 'wipe that look off your face', and I wasn't sure what she was talking about. They were still thinking I had an attitude so they took me to the gym." For nearly a year when she was 16 she was at Provo Canyon School, a psychiatric youth residential school in the town of Springville in the foothills of the Wasatch mountains. Her life there - Hilton told a hearing of politicians in Utah -"was as if hell itself was on Earth".
"We are approached every single day with survivors of this industry who are coming out of these particular programmes and stating that they, too, have been abused," Rebecca says. A spotlight was placed on the troubled teen industry when Paris Hilton revealed she, too, had attended four different residential facilities between the ages of 16 and 18, on one occasion being"kidnapped" from her family's mansion in California and taken to Utah.
Together with Rebecca Mellinger, an impact manager at her company, 11:11 media, Hilton is determined to reform the industry and shut down the worst offending schools. We are there for about 10 minutes before Riley Dias, an admissions director, emerges from the main building on the complex, with headphones in.
"Diamond Ranch Academy is contesting the allegations in the appropriate venues, and will present evidence in court, as opposed to the media. I approach him, explaining that we are working on a story for Sky News about Taylor Goodridge. He says he cannot comment because of HIPAA laws, which protect information from being disclosed without the patient's consent.
"A cursory review of rules governing organisations like DRA reveals that students are allowed an unsupervised, unrecorded, unmonitored confidential conversation with parents at least weekly." "Kids that are picked up in the middle of the night by two large men. There have been kids that have been handcuffed in the past," he says.
marthakelner Lord of the flies
marthakelner Teen camps are kind of like English borstal where the parents decide to send and pay for them to be abused opposed to being sent there by a court of law, parents who can’t seem to manage or discipline their children should maybe paying for themselves to attend parenting classes.
marthakelner The parents catawailing all over the shop.....its a bit late after you sent them under force to these cult like institutes.
marthakelner Malarkey
marthakelner A lot of blame to go around and much of it legitimate and, frankly, an ugly profit motive exists and, in the case of Utah, there is a rights of under age 18 people that probably should be addressed. However, the core of this industry has been substantially fed by social media.
marthakelner If you or your kids are in High School right now the future does look horrifying, troubled or not.
marthakelner Very disturbing & tragic.
