A journalist investigating abuse at a private school in Arkansas, the Delta Institute for the Developing Brain, faced challenges accessing public records due to the lack of oversight for private institutions.

The footage, though disturbing, highlights systemic gaps in accountability for private schools, which often operate with minimal regulation compared to public schools.
