Mack W. Ford (March 18, 1932 – February 13, 2015) was an American fundamentalist Independent Baptist preacher and the founder of teen homes in the American South, most notably New Bethany Home for Girls in Arcadia, Louisiana. The operation of those teen homes was controversial due to allegations against Ford and school staff members of physical abuse, such as beating, and sexual abuse, including rape.[3][4]
