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.

      Me as well. Still got the physical scars from it. But hey the rest of my life whenever someone talks about how great Christianity is or Jesus I get to smirk at their innocence. So not s total lost.

        Kind of. I broke contact in 2020. Now I’m about 6 months into transition and got a bit of hair work done, so I actually sent them one message today for the first time. No text.

          Wow, that was a very brave thing. I don’t know you but am proud of you for that. I am glad that you are getting to be your real self. Best of luck, and don’t put up with bullshit.
