Dream_Tree_is_a_Nightmare
Review for Dreamtree Project Inc, Taos, NM, USA
This is a horribly dysfunctional, toxic organization. The staff had allowed every child in their care to become intoxicated. Another to run away. And did nothing! On another occasion they didn't even know the whereabouts of my daughter. I have heard several complaints since then (including that one teen became pregnant by another teen- both in their care), and wish I knew then, what I know now. I would advise anyone considering placement of their teen to run for the hills. My daughter would have been better off on the streets than in the care of this facility.
"But, again, anything a resident does at DreamTree is by his or her own choice."
“In New Mexico, the law says at age 14, you can make your own decisions,” Hummel [Executive Director] said. “You are treated as an adult, and we follow that.” http://www.taosnews.com/news/success_stories/article_6a06b416-4e40-11e4-b719-9b355cdb7532.html
Please if you are considering donating to this facility, DO NOT. DO NOT ENABLE THESE PEOPLE TO ENDANGER CHILDREN!!!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Completely re-train/let go the staff. Provide training and support to the families that are going through this traumatic experience. Overhaul their safety policies and procedures. Implement communication channels and check points.
