The boy, who died after less than 24 hours at Trails Carolina, couldn’t breathe in the tent where he was placed to sleep, according to an autopsy report.
And I’ve worked in them. Trauma causing to both clients/ patients and staff (if they care). So much waste, fraud, and abuse. Just keeps happening.
I am truly sorry.
Only because I turned 18. But it was nice, nonetheless.
I’m in my 40s, now. I still have nightmares about getting out back into a center. But I also have a strong sense of justice and sometimes compassion for strangers due to my time in those places.
Seeing people my age put their OWN kids into those places and lost me a friendship, recently. I see nothing good coming from those places
Obviously they are different levels and types of abuse, but I look at the friends I grew up in my local church with, who put their kids in the same church as soon as they can the same way. Like they weren’t talking about how fucked up it was less than 5 years ago.
I’m glad you are doing better and hope you can move past the trauma somehow! I wish you the best of luck!
I’ve lived in multiple “troubled teen” centers. You are 100% correct.

I did contract IT work for one where one of the staff got in very serious trouble for having CSAM on their work computer. Like a lot of it.
Sorry to hear that friend, glad you made it out though
