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.
In case anyone wasn’t aware, the ‘trouble’ many of these ‘troubled adolescents’ get themselves into is having a boyfriend or girlfriend that’s the same gender they are. Or, worse, saying their gender is not the one assigned to them at birth!
Often it’s those, and they’re heartbreaking. Sometimes it’s “just” het-cis relationships the parents don’t like. Sometimes it’s “Drinking While Evangelical” or other garden variety youthful rebellion. Sometimes it’s depression. Sometimes it’s just literally wicked stepparents. The overriding connection is always that they don’t need to be there and even if they have issues (and to be clear being LGBTQ+ is not a behavioral problem), the so-called solution will be much worse than the problem.

Folks, read that link there to elan.school. It’s heart wrenching.
No thanks ive already watched a documentary on it and dont feel like bouncing between impotent bezerk furry and helplessness.
elan.school is a fucking trip.
I read up to when he finally got released back when that was current, and havent caught up since
If you read the article, depression, ADHD, and autism are also reasons children get sent there for some reason.
I’ve been told countless times how my depression is akshually a demonic possession

So make a list of those people and never put any trust in them. They are people you can be polite to and not invest any time in.
Camps where they futility try to discipline those disorders out of the kids. I checked on one for my son one time and after reading through the lines and lines of bullshit they threw at me decided it was a bad idea. That camp got shut down in 2012 after losing a lawsuit with one of their victims.
I was not talking about this specific camp, but just because that’s their claim doesn’t mean it’s true.
Also, why do they have depression? Why is their behavior supposedly unruly?
