Karen Wilson

Karen and Bob Wilson lost their only child, Tanner, 11, during a deadly restraint performed at a residential treatment facility in Mason City, Iowa. They graciously opened their home and hearts for this film by recounting the day they received a call informing them that Tanner had died en route to a local hospital.  Since that tragic, life-altering time, the Wilson's have worked with state and federal agencies to insure that Tanner's death will not be forgotten, but will intrepidly serve as a catalyst for improved staff training and careful oversite of all interventions in child settings.
