Three men jailed in alleged beating at unlicensed youth camp
Associated Press
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Three of four adults associated with a Christian-themed youth camp were jailed in the alleged beating of a 13-year-old boy at the unlicensed facility, authorities said Tuesday.

Jason Brian Baker, 30, Robert James Kelly, 18, and James Edward Esther, 33, face one charge each of injury to a child, according to the Tom Green County sheriff's office. They were arrested Saturday and remained in the county jail on Tuesday. None had attorneys.

The charge relates to the beating of a 13-year-old boy at U-Turn for Christ, an unlicensed boot camp for children with discipline and substance abuse problems, Chief Deputy Truman Richey said in a story for Wednesday's San Angelo Standard-Times.

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services plans to investigate the facility, said spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner. She said operating such a camp without a license is illegal.

Eleven boys were at the camp, most of whom lived out of state. Child Protective Services spent the weekend returning them to their parents, Meisner said.

Richey said investigators are looking into allegations that some of the boys, who ranged from 12 to 17 years old, were made to stand in a field with little or no water for several hours.

Richey said he did not know when the camp, once used by adults, had been converted into a children's facility. Jail records list its address as the home of Baker, Kelly and Esther.

The camp, about three miles north of San Angelo, came to the attention of sheriff's deputies when a county resident reported passing the facility and seeing a boy sitting in a field, Richey said. The resident drove past several hours later and saw the same boy sitting in the same field.

The felony charge the three men are facing is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Kelly and Esther are being held on $150,000 bond, and Baker is being held without bond.

TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexico has closed a boot camp for troubled U.S. teenagers south of this city on the California border and deported 13 youngsters whom workers are suspected of abusing, health authorities said on Tuesday.

The U-Turn For Christ Youth Ranch, a group home for the treatment of adolescent alcohol and drug addiction near the Pacific-coast resort of Ensenada, was closed last Friday after inspectors said they had found a range of violations at the center.

Juan Carlos Mariscal, a spokesman for Baja California state health authorities, said youths attending the camp showed "signs of physical and mental mistreatment" as well as insect bites that had not received adequate medical attention.

The camps are generally spartan and operate on "tough-love" principles, while parents are charged up to $5,000 per month for the residential treatment.

U-turn For Christ!...it would be hard to come up with a more absurd name.

I don't recall Jesus advocating beatings or denying water to the thirsty, but then again, if these Religious Whacks met Jesus walking down the road, they would kill Him as surely as the Romans did. After all, He preached kindness, forgiveness, and everything else these bastards ignore from the book they say they so fervently believe.

God, I'd love to see the Religious Right and all their horseshit disappear from this country.
