Neither the pamphlet nor the website states that openly; they seem to assume that anyone reading them would already know why they might be considering it. But a list of what seems to be mental health diagnoses on the web site is suggestive, at least. And neither of them mentions an admission price, but both assure the reader that they accept something health-related which in context seems to be about funding.

She relays that to Heria also.

(With only one young and likely isolated person to work from, it is not surprising there are words and concepts the translation is not giving her. She saves their appearance in the arrival's language, for later searching.)

And, information about this - 'Asylum' seems rather important. She scries again. Public history? Establishment, any events that would have been noted...

Again, not much. There was a minor newspaper article about it when it opened, several decades ago, and it's mentioned a few more times in articles calling for it and a couple other local ones to be closed down, a few decades after that. There's also an obituary that mentions it: a fifteen-year-old boy died there about a year and a half ago; the cause of death isn't mentioned.

(Decades).

What did the article say? The articles? 'A couple other local ones'? What else does the obituary say? 

(At this point this is rather a hard energy drain. She barely notices.)

The article about the facility's opening is short, without much detail, but enthusiastic about the new, scientific treatments it was expected to offer. The articles calling for its closure (and the closures of two others, Spring Forest State Hospital and West Pine Therapeutic Home) are longer, describing a conflict between activists who claim that confining people to institutions is inherently inhumane and family and workers who are concerned that the institutionalized people won't get the care they need in any other setting.

The obituary is short and generic, without much detail: The boy's name was Robert Greene; he was living at White Willow when he died; his parents were alive at the time, as were a younger brother and an older sister.

This does not make it look very probable that the problem can be improved by reporting.

('Inherently inhumane' is certainly important, but it seems fairly negligent to entirely leave out details such as 'starving their charges').

She says the brief form of the prayer for the dead.

She squeezes Shen's hand again. I think that's enough hard scrying for now.

With her attention called to it, she does notice. ...yeah.

Maybe we can find her some books, if she might like to read.

Yeah.

She feeds the alphabet into the datahook, looking for what language this is, and some available books.

...nope.

...?

She tries a few more times and approaches. 

(Meanwhile, how is the arrival doing?)

She's still curled up, and watching the TV again.

The datahook continues not to be able to find anything.

That's rather bizarre. And not even something she can guess L might have done. Maybe it's some kind of technological difficulty. She'll try again from the information center, later.

And, less high-intensity but important scrying:

...it's a long shot, but if she ended up considered some kind of second class citizen, maybe they weren't protecting her records properly. Anything about the arrival? Public records, identify documents...

...birth announcement.

Proud parents Chris and Teresa Dimas are happy to announce the birth of their daughter, Denice June Dimas, born May 10, 2005 at Grandview General Hospital. She weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 21 inches in length. She is their first child.

...well, she's not impressed with the relevant government, but it isn't as though she was before. 

The date format is not familiar. She feeds that into the datahook, looking for where uses those dates. 

Her datahook still has no idea what she's talking about.

This is really bizarre. 

Somewhere isolated that refused network-connection? (She sends Marchess some updated information and questions.)

And, not the most immediate concern, however. ...they've shown themselves to not always be good about public warding; any medical records that might show her? (She's not optimistic, again. It's obviously not good if anyone sufficiently good at scrying can find someone's birth announcement just from being near said person, but medical records are quite a step up in seriousness. But she'll make the attempt.)

She can absolutely get Denice's medical records.

(There's kind of a lot of them, too. Apparently whatever 'treatment' they were doing to her counts.)

Oh, great.

She 'looks' through them. 

They seem to be under the impression that training her like a dog is the only way to get anything done. And not even the sort of dog training that starts with the assumption that dogs are smart enough to figure things out; the kind that assumes that they have to be rewarded or punished every step of the way.

They weren't shy with the punishments, either; a few years ago it became illegal for them to use some of the methods they had been - playing loud noises at her when she misbehaved, or spraying unpleasant-tasting chemicals in her mouth, or slapping her hands - and they used them right up to the very last day it was legal.

They don't know that she can read. They aren't entirely sure whether she understands when they talk. Apparently it's been ambiguous.

...

...what where they trying to 'train' her to do, anyway?

(Trying not to let their body language show any of their feelings so as not to scare Denice stopped being a very good solution at some point. She's been fading it instead - magic to make it unnoticed).

Act normal. Act happy. Not flap her hands, or fidget. Stay in her seat. Be quiet. Make eye contact. Talk - not 'talk about what she wants to', but 'give the correct scripted responses to questions'. Follow instructions, including very arbitrary instructions.

They got some actual education in there, too, but the records say she's at least five years behind compared to what they'd expect of a normal child her age.

...

(Her self thinks she needs to help anyone and everyone this is happening to, right now.

This is of course not very practical. That of course doesn't make it less anything else.)

...anything else in the records?

They have in fact been keeping track of her nutrition and weight - they want her hungry enough that food is a compelling reward, but not malnourished enough to be in danger.

She has ever seen a doctor - it seems like she gets a fairly perfunctory and entirely nonmagical yearly checkup, which hasn't picked up on the heart problem or joint issues.

There are records of her having been drugged, restrained, and/or sent to seclusion for 'agitation' and 'noncompliance'. (Again, no mention of magic being used in any way.)

She was admitted to White Willow when she was five, with a diagnosis of... some word she's not familiar with... with intellectual disability.
