Naomi's Tragic Death at Lakeland Girls Academy
Naomi Wood, a teenager enrolled in Lakeland Girls Academy, tragically passed away due to the school's negligence and poor treatment. Despite complaints of chronic stomach pain, the school denied Naomi access to medical professionals and provided her with over 20 doses of Pepto-Bismol instead. This lack of proper care resulted in her death from an underlying seizure disorder. Lakeland Girls Academy had a history of allegations of abuse and neglect, with survivors sharing testimonies of physical and psychological abuse, medical neglect, and religious indoctrination. After Naomi's death, her family took legal action against the Academy and the organizations behind it, advocating for the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act and raising awareness about the troubled teen industry's need for regulation.
