I worked at Dever in 1978- 1985. It was called a school, but it was anything but that! Thank god for awareness and Heraldo Rivera for his gutsy documentary.

I had to float to a group home last June and a few of the staff and I walked the grounds and went in a few of the buildings without any issues. Didn't see any security or cops. That place gives me the willies though, just like the home I was working in that day.

I remember the building with the theater and another building with a hospital bed and surgical tray

Abby, Motts is one awesome & very cool person who brings us all such wonderful images to look at & enjoy, plus to comment on as well. I am sure everyone here would love to go on trips with him, just to see him in action.

I'm just curious, who is this Motts person??

One of the clients I cared for was badly burned in one of their tubs and is all scarred from the waist down. So sad how the clients were treated (and some molested) there...

I used to care for some former clients of this institution but in a group home last year. I floated to a group home on Dever grounds last June and got the tour of a few of the buildings. The place is creepier than the home I worked in.

The people who grafitti, vandalize, and disrespect these places so rich in history should be ashamed... tsk, tsk.
