One teen’s concussion shows how Utah gave youth treatment centers a pass for years

Up until 2019, state regulators rarely cited facilities for violating rules — even after high-profile cases of abuse.

Security camera footage shows a Provo Canyon School staffer getting into an altercation with O’Dayvion Westmoreland, a teenager, in 2016. Brandon Grebe grabbed O’Dayvion by the neck and threw him to the floor. The teen’s concussion went undiagnosed for more than a week.
