GREENE COUNTY, TN (WJHL) - A district attorney is opening two criminal investigations after a Community Watchdog investigation into abuse, neglect and exploitation at Greene Valley Developmental Center in Greene County.

After five months of investigation, we found many cases of substantiated abuse and neglect that were never reported to police. In addition, we discovered even after one of the rare times Greene Valley staff did call police, a local police chief failed to investigate.
