A Wisconsin advocacy group is calling for the closure of a treatment center where a 7-year-old girl was fatally injured after being restrained in May.
Disability Rights of Wisconsin called for the Northwest Counseling and Guidance Clinic to be shut down for the safety of other children in treatment.
The Wisconsin Health and Family Services Department says it is considering several options and could revoke the facility's certification.
But state officials are waiting to hear a plan on how the clinic will correct deficiencies found by investigators.
Angellika Arndt had attended the clinic's day treatment center five days a week for a month for behavioral problems.
According to investigators, she had been restrained on nine separate occasions and died May 26, the day after she was injured while being restrained at the center.
