What are the rules and regulations for a group home or orphanage?
The home must have legal existence by being fully licensed under the laws of the particular jurisdiction and laws vary. Numerous agencies may be involved from the Board of Health to law enforcement for criminal background checks for employees. You might start your research by visiting the licensing commission in your city or town to determine the requirements for obtaining a license. You may find helpful information at the Secretary of State offices or website.
The house rules for a group home or orphanage vary quite bit from home to home (especially if you're comparing group homes in different jurisdictions). A group home run by a Baptist church would be very different than one run by a non-religious organization, for example.
- In general, there are strict rules and consistent schedule. Male and female children are separated, and there will probably be strict rules on their interaction. Children may also be divided up by age ranges.
- Children may be required to stay in their rooms at night (if they have a bathroom connected directly to their room), and that may be enforced with an alarm on their bedroom door.
- Children that have a safety plan (sexual safety plan or other) will have additional rules, often relating to their contact with other children (especially younger or older children).
- Children will generally have a fairly regimented schedule. For example: children in a foster home may get away with "can we stay up a little longer to finish this movie" while children in a group home know that bed time is at 8:30pm on a school night no matter what.

What was the edgemeade orphanage in mt. home Idaho?
It was a place to send kids far away from home so they could beat the hell out of them and get away with it. Bill Koon and all his counselors should be hunted down.
I don't know who wrote this but they are half right. I was in Edgemeade of Idaho from 1972 until 1973 until I was "rescued by my mother". The "school" was represented as a place for "emotionally disturbed children" and we were placed there by the courts. Most of our crimes were "adolescent defiant disorder." We were between the ages of 8-17. When you turned 18 they kicked you out because the state or your parents weren't paying the bills anymore. We lived in barrack type housing on a hill outside of town that was infested with bedbugs and mice. We went to "private on campus schools" that consisted of nothing more than being babysat. The University of Pennsylvania would do their psyh. rotations there, so we got some education during the summer. 95% of the children in this school were on heavy doses of psychotropic drugs. We would make fun of the kids doing the Thorazine shuffle. I personally was on Prolixan, Thorazine and these were the ones that I can remember. Oh by the way --I was 14 years old and these medications are counter indicated in children and young adults due to the severity of the side effects. We were given talk therapy which consisted of trying to keep the "counselor" from molesting us or we would be threatened with what they would call a blanket party. (They took everything you had, including your clothing and you would wear a blanket until they felt you were remorseful enough to submit to what ever arbitrary rule you broke. Try that in an Idaho winter!!) Most of the time it was just because you just pissed someone off. I'm lucky I survived and am a successful professional. I pray for the souls that were crushed there and I hope that there were a few like me who MADE IT!! in spite of the hell hole snake pit. (I have never told this story to anyone else except my husband, because quite frankly I doubt if anyone would have believed me.)
The stories by the second author are much closer to the truth. I can't refute the blanket party as I was not there until about 1976. The place I remember was not as bad as described. They did use meds but punishment was basically a several days to a week time out. I can only speak for when I was there but, at that time the place was a summer camp when you compare to a real juvenile correctional inst. Always wanted to touch base with anyone from there who is still alive (I am 52 now).
