But who's going to protect these children from their parents? Since it's the parents that are sending them there... The children should have a possibility of reaching somebody who will help them, if they want to get out. But I guess they would stop the letters from ever reaching those people...
It's really sick... Some of the kids in the report weren't even "defiant teens"... Well, at least not what I think of when I hear that. This girl was sent there because her parents didn't like her boyfriend!!!

"Lindsay Cohen is nearly 19. A straight-A high-school graduate, she was heading for Harvard until an unsuitable choice of boyfriend had her sent here at the age of 17."

How sick is that? I think that some of their parents need to go to a camp like this, and not their children... Somebody establish an "idiotic parent camp" please...
