CENTRALIA, Wash. – Three years from now, one of Washington's five juvenile lock-ups will be empty – shuttered to save money. That decision has sparked allegations that lawmakers are putting politics ahead of the needs of mentally ill kids. What we're talking about is the Maple Lane School near Centralia. Initially, its closure will actually cost taxpayers millions of dollars. But more than that, one expert fears it could have deadly consequences.
