Trails Carolina property up for sale amid assault lawsuit, camper death investigation dlvr.it/TD9VZ5

Following the death of a camper and revocation of its license, Trails Carolina's property is for sale. bit.ly/3z5UPcE

The facility, Elevations RTC in Utah, is part of the same company as a wilderness camp in North Carolina where a 12 y/o boy was killed earlier this year. The company is backed by a private equity firm and runs a dozen programs nationwide nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…

For this facility @echuckles and I investigated — Elevations RTC in Utah — we found only one of 28 school districts knew that staff had gotten in trouble for violating mandatory child abuse reporting laws Elevations has received at least $4 million from public schools since 2016

@FrankPallone, we need your support to pass the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act (H.R. 2955)! Our kids deserve protection from abusive residential treatment facilities. Please ensure SICAA is on the September 18th markup calendar. #PassSICAA #StopInstitutionalChildAbuse

Looks like some of my research got used in this discussion. That's pretty nice, and proper reference would help to. Still, nice to see people not dropping this tragic story.

"At least a dozen children have died since 2000 at the [#WildernessTherapy] camps which dot the American landscape and are just one feature of the multi-billion dollar #TroubledTeenIndustry" #StopInstitutionalChildAbuse dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@YEP4Rights @UtahDHHS Family Help and Wellness, the former Wingate’s parent company, is running out of wilderness therapy programs to refer children to, with one of its recently killing a twelve year old. @mikemckellutah @SenSaraGelser @tylerkingkade

Why is #WinGate using the website for its closed #WildernessTherapy program as a referral site, benefiting from the use of @UtahDHHS seal to appear like they are legitimate family advocates?

Clark Joseph Harman died 6 days before his 13th birthday. Say his name and never forget it. Rest in peace, Clark. You deserved so much better in life than this. #breakingcodesilence

Continuing to follow the trails carolina investigation… Today I sat down with a former resident who says “I tried to commit suicide twice after leaving. Trails didn’t cure me. It made things for complicated.” We’re sharing his story tomorrow at 5 on @SpecNews1CLT

For years, @WBTV_News chief investigator @NickOchsnerWBTV has been reporting on Trails Carolina, a deadly wilderness therapy camp. As we keep exploring ways to get our stories to new and younger audiences, here’s our latest ‘Tok Q&A on the process behind the reporting:

@SafeandSoundPNW @WillDobud @NATSAP1 What about two deaths?

Wow....the mistreatment of this 12 year old is so glaringly obvious @NATSAP1 can't even see it. What a joke. Would be nice to have some grown ups around to call this what it is.

Appalled by @NATSAPDC’s response to tragic death at Trails Carolina. It ignores crucial details: a mysterious 911 call, disturbing condition of the victim, and staff not speaking with authorities. @DeidreHenderson @mikemckellutah, did you ask why kids are dying? #JusticeForClark

“Infuriating” is one the words that comes to mind for me too. I’ve arguing this to challenge the dominant narrative that this shit works for nearly a decade. I’m glad grown ups are entering the discussion

Children are still dying in the #TroubledTeenIndustry 💔 The urgency for #SICAA and state reform has never been greater. It makes me so sad that deaths have to continue to occur for the world to pay attention to the dangers of the #TTI #StopInstitutionalChildAbuse I am sending all of my love to the family and friends of this child. Details that break my heart: ✨Trails Carolina is not cooperating with the investigation ✨The child had a panic attack in the middle of the night and they left him alone until finding him cold to the touch in the morning ✨He was found with half of his clothing removed, including his underwear. The facility couldn't explain why his clothes were removed ✨Investigators believe he was poisoned as he was foaming at the mouth ✨The facility refused to allow the other kids to speak to the police themirror.com/news/us-news/c…

Great to have ongoing media coverage of the troubled teen industry. A new documentary is coming out in a couple of weeks on therapeutic boarding schools. The cult-like aspects, manipulation, abuse, institutional betrayal, all important themes #TheProgram youtube.com/watch?v=qUvj2d…

“I just didn’t understand why the people that were role models in my life, like my parents, I just didn’t understand why would any parents send their kids here? Why would anyone want to work here? How would anyone think that this place would help me?” wbtv.com/2024/02/22/sha…

I had the honor of meeting my friend, @SenSaraGelser, in person Saturday in Corvallis! Her relentless fight against #ChildAbuse in congregate settings, before it was a mainstream issue, inspires us all. @ParisHilton @Rebecca_Impact @itscarolinecole @megappelgate @unsilenced_now
