Saving Cottonwood
Shutting this facility, Cottonwood, down will be detrimental to our society, youth, & our future.
Why is this important?
Society's future is surely slipping out of the horizon of a brighter future on a lot of self inflicted decisions..but keeping the Cottonwood Treatment Facility open is a HUGE necessity..even a police officer here in Cape Girardeau said, Cape P.D. used to only handled MAYBE 1-2 mentally disturbed people a month, now it's 1-2 a day! It's unbelievable..I have a son with a diagnosis of moderate ADHD, & ODD, our children of course are the/our future!!.. How can a great treatment facility like Cottonwood, where some employees have been there for two or more decades and SO many youths have benefited, just be called a budget cut???
