I was the very first witness in my car who saw everything from two police cars chasing the stolen van on 17th of March to rollover of van three times to the driver ejecting from van and landing hard on highway only 25 ft away from my car and seeing the dead body upon exiting my car, screaming and crying. Families of Jessica Brasher have my deepest sympathy and my total support for such sad events that led to young girl's death.
I believe that facility of Mary Mission is not very secured place where that girl used to live in and for others who have serious mental illnesses. I drove by that place, not far from where I lived, few times and could see that facility did not meet strict standard requirements. Some windows were not barred; the patients could easily make the escapes through open windows. No high gate surrounding the facility with automatic gate opener for entrance and exit. In addition to that, it is way too close to the highway and one public school. The facility lacks so many things that could have prevent Jessica from escaping and meeting her death upon deadly wreck.
I would not recommend Mary Mission to any seriously disturbing minor patients at all. I can see potential lawsuit hanging in air set up by families of Jessica Brasher.
I will say to Mary Mission staff to wake up and smell the coffee; to start remodeling and fixing lacking materials to ensure the safety of the disturbed young people!

MY WIFE WORKED FOR MARY'S MISSIONS FOR A VERY SHORT TIME IN THAT SHORT PERIOD SHE NOTICED THERE WAS REALLY NO PROGRAM DESIGNED TO REHABILLITATE THE GIRLS! ALSO HER BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THE FACT THAT THE STAFF WAS TEAMED UP WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE GIRLS,ONLY THERE BELOVED BABY SITTING JOB THEY HAD SECURED. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THAT YOUNG GIRL,SHE WAS SENT TO A HOLDING FACILLITY RATHER THAN A PLACE TO WORK THROUGH HER LIFE ISSUES. LIKE AMITY HAS FOR YOUNG TROUBLED GIRLS. WE KNEW IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFOR ONE OF THE GIRLS DID SOMETHING TO HURT THEMSELVES OR ANOTHER. THE QUALITY OF TREATMENT IS VERY LIMITED AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED. THE LAST PLACE IN THE WORLD I WOULD SEND MY YOUTH IS MARYS MISSIONS. I BELIEVE IT WAS A STAFF ISSUE OF NEGLECT TO THE GIRLS NEEDS. WE SHOULD DO ALL WE CAN TO SHAKE UP THIS FACILLITY AND MAKE THEM DO WHAT THEY ARE CONTRACTED TO DO, REHABILLITATE RATHER THAN BABYSIT! ALLOW THE STAFF TO COORDINATE A PROGRAM THAT DEALS WITH LIFE ISSUES AND PROVIDES A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FOR THESE MISGUIDED YOUTH. I MYSERLF HAD A TROUBLED PAST AND WAS INVOLVED IN A PROGRAM THAT TURNED ME AROUND,THAT WAS BECAUSE THEY REALLY DELT WITH SOCIAL ISSUES AND BEHAVIOR ISSUES,PROBLEMS OF GROWING UP,UNBURRYING THOSE DEEP SEATED ISSUES.MARYS MISSION WANTS A BACKGROUND CHECK AND A FOOD SERVICE HANDLERS CARD TO WORK FOR THEM, THATS IT! NO PRIOR EDUCATION IN REHAB OR DRUG THERAPY,THEY USE OUR BELOVED LORD TO GUIDE THEM,UNFORTUNATLY FOR THAT YOUNG GIRL THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH.TEENAGERS NEED HELP TO TALK NOT A HALFWAY HOUSE THAT ALLOWS THEM FREE REIGN INSIDE THERE UNSECURED PROPERTY WITH THE ONLY THREAT BEING WE WILL CALL THE POLICE FOR BAD BEHAVIOR.THESE KIDS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR POLICE OR ATHORITY,THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK AND RELATE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE AND SUCEEDED. I HATE HEARING THIS, KNOWING WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE AND KNOWING MARYS MISSION WILL NOT DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT OR ALLOW ANY ONE TO COME IN AND CHANGE THEIR PROGRAM. I WOULD DO IT FOR FREE!!! AND IF THEY CHOSE TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE IS MY EMAIL PANSWICKEDRIDE@AOL.COM

Marys Mission does not suck! I was recently there, and i was there when the accident happened. For Everyones information, Jessica talked about death and everything like that! She needed serious help, more than anyone in Marys Mission could offer... Yea some of the staff sucked, but they didnt stay long, they ended up getting fired! Girls are sent to Marys Mission for many reasons, and to be honest, the girls that were there when i was there were horrible, they didnt want to do anything to better themselves, you can put a person to treatment, but the person themselves need to be wanting to better themselves as well. So all this Marys Mission shit talkers, you need to get your information straight.

I agree with the 15yr old aunt,that the girl should have been placed under tight security. Because of her bio parents mental history.
