Another abuse-laden boarding school. Big surprise.

Police in Missouri say they have arrested a man and woman who run a boarding school and charged them with kidnapping after several boys ran away from the school over the past few months. 

Larry Musgrave and his wife Carmen Musgrave, owners of ABM Ministries in Piedmont, Mo., were arrested by authorities last week, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department Southeast Missouri said in a statement.  

Larry, 57, was arrested on the evening of March 1 from ABM Ministries. Carmen, 64, was not at the location during Larry’s arrest and was detained the next day when she tried to visit him in jail in the early morning hours, the statement said.

Authorities have charged both of them with first-degree kidnapping, online court records reviewed by PEOPLE show. 

Wayne County Sheriff Dean Finch says his office has received notifications about five boys who ran away from the home since January, The Associated Press reported. On one occasion, a neighbor took in two escaped boys who then asked her to call 911. 

However, the department says its investigation into the facility dates back months, triggered by a complaint from a former student who now lives in Alabama, according to the police statement. 

The student reportedly told Finch that on her 18th birthday, she was “held against her will” after being locked in a room at the boarding school, The AP reported, citing a probable cause statement. (It is unclear when this incident allegedly happened. The school was initially co-ed.)

After interviewing the former student, Finch launched an investigation and interviewed other former students. His office also conducted interviews with the boys currently enrolled in the school, the statement said.

A teacher was also arrested. Teacher arrested. The teacher is  the 22 year-old son of the son of the school’s director, Julio Sandoval. Julio Sandoval was the dean at Agape: Agape/ABM Sandoval article

Well, hopefully this will shut down this fake school.  Missouri is a cess pool of unregulated church "boarding schools".
