Changes?? This place needs to be shut down and staff arrested.

They need to stop these camps it makes me upset that parents have a child with some issues so they just ship them off to strangers let them deal with it instead of being a parent who helps there child and supports there child and get them all the help they need as a family it's not just the child's fault and then they are subjective to more abuse and even death of a child instead of parenting up and doing what's right for your child 😢😢

Right up the road from me. You think things go a certain way, and then you find out this kind of misconduct today is really common. The entire psych system needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch. Child predation is all over.

I went here and I love that these ex patients are speaking up. One thing I’ve noticed is no male patients are speaking up. Which I believe were treated way harsher than the girls were.

There is another video of a guy speaking up

PARIS HILTON SHOULD SEE THIS OR KNOW ABOUT THIS CONSIDERING SHE WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING WHEN SHE WAS IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS

[@mistiinseattle]

When children are treated so badly that adults have to be warned of disturbing content to hear about it, this needs to be stopped. Testimonies have been on the internet and known about for years, yet it is allowed to continue. And if I can find it so freely, why aren't parents researching this before sending their kids there?

Is this place a torture camp?
