Farm in Kansas Faces License Review Amid Abuse Allegations
Parents and supporters defend The Farm, a Lyon County group home for wayward children, as state officials audit operations over allegations of sexual and disciplinary misconduct. The Johnsons, who opened the 1000 acre facility in 1965, face license revocation while 16 children were removed after a four-page accusation list. The son of Phyllis Cook improved under The Farm’s program and is nearing graduation at a foster home, underscoring the complex debate surrounding the home’s future.
