Acadia Healthcare: Glenwood Behavioral Hospital employee charged with sexual battery and voyeurism involving patients
Cincinnati police arrested Willie Hill after responding on October 26 to reports of improper contact with patients at Glenwood Behavioral. Criminal complaints obtained by WCPO indicate that the alleged offenses occurred the previous day at facility. According to the complaints, Hill is accused of inappropriately touching female patients and spying on them while they showered. The documents state that he held supervisory authority over the victims at the time.
Hill faces five fifth-degree felony counts of sexual battery, two third-degree felony counts of sexual battery, and a voyeurism charge. He was arraigned Tuesday morning. A judge set a $10,000 cash bond on one sexual battery count and a combined $31,000 bond on the remaining charges, of which he must post 10 percent.
The case has prompted broader discussion about safeguards for patients in psychiatric hospitals. Individuals admitted to such facilities—sometimes involuntarily—often depend entirely on staff for care and have limited ability to leave or choose their providers. Amy Price, associate advocacy director and abuse and neglect team leader at Disability Rights Ohio, noted that patients in these settings are especially vulnerable because they lack control over who treats them and may hesitate to report misconduct. She emphasized that people already in fragile situations show courage when they come forward, and that many incidents of institutional abuse go unreported due to fear of retaliation or dependence on staff for treatment and discharge decisions. Price spoke generally about patient rights rather than the specific allegations against Hill; Disability Rights Ohio is not involved in the case.
Ohio regulations require psychiatric hospitals to report certain serious incidents to the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health within 24 hours of discovery (excluding weekends and holidays). Facilities must also document and review incidents and address safety concerns. WCPO asked the department whether Glenwood reported the allegations, whether an investigation is underway, and whether prior inspections found deficiencies. A spokesperson confirmed the inquiry was forwarded to the legal office, but the department has not yet confirmed any reporting or state review. WCPO also contacted Glenwood Behavioral Health Hospital and its parent company, Acadia Healthcare, seeking details on Hill’s employment status and any prior knowledge of the allegations; no response has been received.
Price highlighted a gap in Ohio’s protections: while the developmental disabilities system maintains an abuser registry that can bar individuals with substantiated abuse findings from working with that population, no equivalent registry exists for behavioral health facilities. As a result, someone who loses a job after abuse allegations may still obtain employment at another psychiatric hospital. Disability Rights Ohio supports creating a cross-system registry with clear legal standards for inclusion. The organization can investigate abuse claims, review records, and recommend corrective actions, but it cannot close facilities, restrict admissions, or terminate employees—those powers rest with hospitals and state regulators. Price stressed the importance of timely intervention in settings where staff are responsible for protecting patients at their most vulnerable.

DNA is honestly just wild. Have you guys ever heard that crazy story about a woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he took a DNA test, it showed he was not the dad? The mother kept insisting he really was the father, so they ran the test over and over again, and every single time, it said the exact same thing. It turned out later that, according to the DNA test results, he was not the father at all, but actually the uncle of the baby. That made zero sense because he did not have any brothers and was an only child. After doing a lot more detailed testing, the doctors found out that the husband was actually a chimera, which means he had absorbed his twin brother back when they were in the womb and ended up carrying two totally different sets of DNA in his body. So when you break it all down, the baby was biologically his twin brother's child, even though he was the one who actually fathered the kid.

THE DON'T SAY GAY (SAY QUEER) ZONE: SPLASH NoCo 🚩
"Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who's at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things", according to the helpful Metropolitan Police UK web page on this practice. Keeping this definition in mind, we look into SPLASH NoCo.
SPLASH Youth of Northern Colorado (SPLASH NoCo / Support Pride Learning and Social Happenings) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 82-1537021) founded in 2015 in Fort Collins, Colorado. It targets "LGBTQIA+ and questioning youth", with programs described as being for ages 5–24. The Facebook page says "ages 2-24", see screenshot. The organization claimed to "serve" over 2,000 youth by 2021 through “safe spaces,” peer support, events, and school outreach, framing its work around positive youth development and Shared Risk and Protective Factor models aimed at reducing suicide, self-harm, substance use, and homelessness.
PROGRAMMING OF YOUNG MINDS
We are suspicious about whether SPLASH NoCo programs truly deliver protection, or instead work to accelerate social and medical transitions in vulnerable minors without addressing underlying mental health issues. The programs include weekly meet-ups, drop-ins, affinity groups (e.g., QTPOC), and the OUT Families initiative (formerly Skittles/Adult Swim), which involves very young children in activities centered on gender and sexuality themes.
Out Families is described as "a (currently online) fun and spontaneous group for young people ages 5-11 that provides connection to other young people who are as fabulous as they are."
There's "GAUGE" or Generating Acceptance & Understanding of Gender Expression, described as "specific for transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive teens, ages 12-18. Led by volunteers who also happen to be transgender..."
There's Spectrums, which is cleverly named for a program that "is specific for LGBTQIA+ youth who are also neurodivergent." No age specified, just a list of neurological and psychiatric conditions jumbled up together, with advice not to wear strong perfume or clashing jewelry if you want to attend. It is "peer-led".
SPLASH seems to likes starting segregation young, and they have a specific group called QTPOC, for "queer and trans youth of color". They are currently looking for volunteers for that one.
SPLASH also runs the Prism Palace youth center at 2721 S. College Ave #4A in Fort Collins’ Midtown Commons, without fixed business hours.
They have even more groups, but they all are tedious and repetitive in the nature of that they do - doubling down on trans and queer narratives, with a lot of stuff about gender identity and expression. Basically, gender ideology reinforcement over and over seems to be the only theme. The laser focus on the sexuality/expression of minors is alarming, just reading their web page (screenshots linked). Ironically, they don't seem to have any specific programs for gay or lesbian youth, or people with DSD either, despite being for "LGBTQIA+ youth". We encourage people to become familiar with queer theory, and why many gay and lesbian groups avoid the word "queer".
FINANCES
Public financial transparency for SPLASH remains limited. As a smaller nonprofit, it files only IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard), with no detailed revenue, expense, or donor breakdowns available through public databases. It operated without formal funding for its first six years before pursuing grants and donations around 2021.
The group with all volunteers listed sporting "personal pronouns", actively solicits tax-deductible donations via PayPal, Square, Venmo, recurring gifts, checks, and an Amazon wishlist for Prism Palace supplies. It recruits “annual sponsors” who gain advertising visibility at the center and direct connections to youth and families. Local church support, such as “Share the Plate” donations from places like Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ (the church website prominently features trans activism), has been noted, alongside listings in regional LGBTQ+ resource directories that may enable indirect collaborations (e.g., with Colorado State University). While broader Northern Colorado youth grant ecosystems exist, such as Northern Colorado United for Youth (NOCO UNIFY) Impact Grants of $20,000–$100,000 for Larimer/Weld youth organizations, no specific large awards to SPLASH are prominently documented in public announcements. This reliance on opaque, donation-driven funding and sponsorships that offer businesses access to minors raises legitimate concerns about accountability/donor motives.
KIMBERLY CHAMBERS AND CONTROVERSIES
Trans activist Kimberly Chambers (sometimes spelled Kimberley) has served as Executive Director of SPLASH since its inception.
She has held overlapping positions that provided extensive access to children: substitute teacher in the Poudre School District (PSD), employee of the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (including community health roles), and co-founder/public contact for the activist group NoCoSafeSpace, which organizes events like the NoCoSafeSpace Pride March (with SPLASH youth involvement). Chambers has advocated publicly for expanded LGBTQ+ programming, spoken at school board meetings, and helped establish the Prism Palace center.
A revealing controversy involves the May 4, 2021, incident at Wellington Middle School. Kimberly Chambers was invited by art teacher Jenna Riep and counselor Katie/Caitlin Delahunt to speak at what parents and students understood as an after-school “Art Club” but was actually a Genders and Sexualities Alliance (GSA) session. According to parental accounts, court filings, and detailed reports, the 90-minute presentation focused heavily on "gender identity". Chambers reportedly:
- told students that discomfort with their bodies likely indicated they were transgender and at elevated suicide risk
- distributed LGBTQ-themed prizes to those who came out as transgender during the meeting
- facilitated activity around the infamous Genderbread Person (including discussions of sexual attraction)
- warned that parents “aren’t safe” while positioning herself as a trusted adult
- encouraged secrecy about the content discussed in the session
- provided personal contact details with invitations to connect via Discord (specific server link: discord.gg/V4NScnGG, now expired) and WhatsApp.
Students were instructed to introduce themselves in the server and add her as a “friend” for full access.
Parent Erin Lee @Erin4Parents reported that her then-12 year old daughter began identifying as "transgender" soon afterward, was "affirmed" by the group, and experienced significant mental health decline, including suicidal ideation and a suicide attempt, while withholding information from her parents for months. Email records showed Kimberly Chambers expressing concern about the girl’s well-being post-incident and suggesting possible district interventions. Similar experiences were alleged in the related Jurich family case. In August 2021, Poudre School District (PSD) severed its formal ties with SPLASH NoCo. The district stated that SPLASH Executive Director Kimberly Chambers and other representatives had not returned to PSD schools, and it shifted to using internal coordinators for student support resources instead of outsourcing to the nonprofit.
A federal lawsuit Lee v. Poudre School District was filed in 2023, alleging violations of parental rights through secrecy policies and gender discussions. The case progressed through the 10th Circuit (which upheld dismissals in April 2025) before a petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied on October 14, 2025, with Justice Alito (joined by Thomas and Gorsuch) issuing a statement respecting the denial while noting the issue’s national importance.
Kimberly Chambers has described the events as “mischaracterized,” asserting no coercion occurred, and that activities followed standard supportive frameworks. However, the combination of her roles in education, public health, and trans activism, while facilitating private digital outreach and messaging that could erode parental trust, merits close scrutinizy over blurring lines in youth programming to promote and propagate gender ideology.
EFFECTS ON CHILDREN
Programming like SPLASH’s that emphasizes early "gender identity" exploration, secrecy from parents, and rapid "gender-affirmation", has drawn increasing pushback amid broader evidence questioning “gender-affirming” approaches for minors. Trans industry propaganda and gender ideology activism/indoctrination seem to be deeply embedded, recurring themes in how SPLASH operates.
Systematic reviews, including the UK’s Cass Review, highlight low-quality evidence for benefits of social/medical transition while pointing to risks such as infertility, impaired bone density, sexual dysfunction, and unknown long-term impacts on cognitive and psychosocial development. European countries (Sweden, Finland, England) have shifted toward psychotherapy-first models, restricting puberty blockers and hormones due to unfavorable risk-benefit ratios and the sharp rise in adolescent-onset cases (predominantly females), often linked to comorbidities like autism, trauma, or mental health conditions.
Concerns about social contagion or rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD), where peer influence, social media, or online communities accelerate identity shifts in previously non-dysphoric kids, are growing. Parent surveys and clinic data show clusters of sudden identifications, with some studies reporting detransition or regret rates of 6–20% (higher when accounting for loss-to-follow-up in clinic data). Suicide attempts and mental health issues often remain elevated post-transition, suggesting affirmation alone may not resolve underlying problems and could medicalize transient distress. Exposure at young ages (e.g., Skittles/OUT Families programs) raises questions about whether such interventions solidify confusion rather than support natural desistance, which historical data show occurs in the majority of childhood "gender dysphoria" cases without intervention.
In the context of SPLASH NoCo specifically, the promotion of Discord servers, private contacts, and narratives framing parents as unsafe confuses and isolates children while straining family bonds, and funnels them toward unproven "gender-affirming" medical pathways. While short-term feelings of belonging are reported, we argue these come at the cost of causing long-term physical and psychological harms. There is no rigorous evidence to support that such youth groups reduce suicide risk more effectively than comprehensive mental health care addressing comorbidities first. The Spectrums program in particular is extremely concerning, like what is the common thread between epilepsy patients and those with complex PTSD? What is their definition of "neurodivergent" in this context? Are qualified mental health professionals overseeing these "peer-led" sessions? The intentions seem rather suspicious. The constant focus on underage sexual identity by SPLASH seems like inappropriate, targeted gender ideology indoctrination of minors, rather than creating a neutral, safe and supportive environment. Parents, guardians and schools should remain highly vigilant of groups like SPLASH NoCo and their intentions. See screenshots in comments.

As of September 2026 reports, Daniel Rakowitz is at the Manhattan Psychiatric Center on Wards Island. He was moved about two years earlier from the max-security Kirby Forensic side to its lower-security civilian side. That side houses non-criminal patients. The facility treats both men and women.
Pons retweeted
He punched his roommate in the throat, then watched cartoons and smoked a joint while she lay dying on the floor. Then he spent ten days cutting her up and boiling the flesh off her bones.
A jury decided he wasn't responsible. Thirteen years later, another jury decided he wasn't dangerous anymore.
That's him in the video, September 1989: "I realized, wow, I'm going to be going to prison now for murder." He never did.
August 1989, the East Village. Daniel Rakowitz, 28, sold pot and walked around Tompkins Square Park with a rooster. He shared an apartment with Monika Beerle, a 26-year-old Swiss dancer, and she wanted him out. He told police he hit her in the throat, decided she was faking for 45 minutes, then left to make a pot delivery. When he came back, she was cold. He bought a saw at a hardware store and went to work in the bathtub.
Then he started talking. He told people in the park what he'd done. A homeless man later testified he found a finger in the soup Rakowitz handed out there. Rakowitz led police to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, where he'd stored her skull. On tape he talked for over an hour, as calm as a man chatting with friends.
At trial, all four psychiatrists, for both sides, called him a paranoid schizophrenic. The jury deliberated for nine days. On February 22, 1991, it found him not responsible by reason of mental disease, and he was sent to Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on Wards Island. Court TV told viewers he wouldn't "get off that easily."
Inside, he never agreed to take psychiatric medication. In 2004 his lawyer told a court he'd gone 13 years without a fight and once stepped in when another patient attacked a staff member. Kirby's own director of psychiatry testified that when Rakowitz talked about the killing, he smiled and spoke excitedly. The jury found him mentally ill but no longer dangerous. In 2005 a judge ruled the jury had no authority to make that call and kept him locked up.
He kept asking to be moved somewhere softer. In 2010 a court said no again. Through his lawyer he now denies killing her at all and says other people did it while he was in the room. He's 65. As of the last reports, he's still on Wards Island.
Ten days with a saw. Nine days of deliberation. Thirty-seven years and counting.
He was scared of prison. Did the hospital save him from it, or give him a life sentence nobody had the nerve to call one?
