Big Security Concerns At Cypress Group Home In Ada

ADA, Oklahoma - A wild showdown at an Oklahoma group home takes an entire police crew to handle.

Police say it happened in Ada at the Cypress Hills Group Home, a privately owned place for at risk children.

Its located just off the road outside of town, nestled behind the trees.

Most people dont even know its even there, Ada police officer Jeremy Farmer said.

The facility houses 32 boys and girls from ages 13-17. It's their last chance of hope before entering into a detention center or a psychiatric hospital.

These are kids that this is their last resort, he said.

Off this beaten path of life is where some of Oklahoma's most vulnerable children call home.

Weve been out there 28 times since July 10. Twenty eight calls, Farmer said.

The place has only been open since June 12.

Weve been out there on calls of runaways, he said. Weve been out there for assaults. Weve had staff members at the facility getting assaulted by the juveniles.
