A state inspection report offers new details on the hours leading up to a 12-year-old’s death at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents.
Staff at a North Carolina wilderness therapy camp failed to check that a 12-year-old boy was breathing during his first night at the facility, a state report released Tuesday found.
The boy, who has been identified in law enforcement records only by his initials, CJH, was found unresponsive around 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 3 at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents in the western part of the state.
Man, I want to run one of these “troubled teen facilities” the Christians send their kids to to scare them straight or whatever, and then give “how to pretend to fit in until you’re 18 and can escape” lessons along with “where to go, who to contact, how to support yourself once you have escaped” lessons. From the outside it looks like a good old fashioned Christian brainwashing center, we can even show you video of kids studying the bible, because they do, to learn how to fake being devout. But we’re actually about deprogramming and escaping.
Or, I wonder if passing this idea around and making it into an urban legend that some of them are like that would be enough to take the wind out of at least some of their sails.
