byberry road and roosevelt blvd never though they would ever knock that down...across the street nabisco..I come from Willow grove my husband worked there when he was in his 20's. I am 47 and he is 50 now ..remember when they let them all loose! Most live on the streets of philly now

it is a known fact that many children have been dropped off at a instution such as this and many others because a parent could not afford to feed or care for them..there was no children a youth and even when there was/is it is more difficult to get your children back from them than a temporary mental hospital. I have several friends that are not very old that thier mother dropped them off all the time returning for them after months of not seeing them..they now have mental problems because she always came up with an excuse to get them in...I also experianced a mother that did that not long ago say the 1990's doing the same thing! its a shame but true.
