Jace, when were you there? I was there 82-84, the City of Waltham is not the issue, they just bought the building in 2005, I know this for a face because I live in Waltham and have most of my life, the Dept of Mental Health owned it til then, the ciry of Waltham did want to make a children's center out of it, but, because the asbestos and lead paint were high, it was to expensive to remodel, so it was cheaper for them to tear it down, cause the building is hazardous. I agree, it shouldn't be torn down, that something good should be made from the horror that we had to endure and that someone needs to tell someone what went on in there, I emailed channel 5 and I never heard from them. If you request me as a friend on facebook you can all my pictures of the place as I have been in the building several times and took pics and videos. I also heard a lot of the kids that were there never made it to the 20th birthday. The staff I feel need to take responsibility for their actions of the treatment that gave us, as well all the dept of mental health and all the dr's who drugged us and every other thing. I hope that you are doing well in your life now, I am, I am happily married with 2 beautiful girls, one is 16yrs old and the one ts 6yrs old. I am going to try and get up there today as the rain here has stopped, you can't drive up there anymore, there is way to many police patrolling the place all the time as the building is all opened now and a danger to society, so we my husband and I have been doing is going to Rock Meadow on the Belmont side of the place, the same street Mclean's Hosp is on and walking thru the woods to get there......I will post here and give an update as to if I did or didn't get there and what the place looks like now.......
