Triangle Cross Ranch, Inc. v. State
Annotate this CaseTriangle Cross Ranch, Inc. offered help to troubled boys by putting them to work on a cattle ranch that was described as “a Catholic Christian Therapeutic Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program.” Triangle Cross offered individual counseling and group therapy. The boys’ families paid an admission fee and a monthly tuition. The Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) sought an injunction, arguing that Triangle Cross was providing the type of services that required certification, which it had not obtained. After a bench trial, the district concluded that Triangle Cross was offering services that required it to obtain proper licensing and certification and entered an order enjoining Triangle Cross from operating an uncertified child care facility. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court correctly found that Triangle Cross was offering services to children who are delinquent and thus was required by Wyoming law to obtain certification.
