WRENTHAM, Mass. -- Wrentham authorities said the operator of the powerboat was watching her boyfriend on a knee board when she hit the other boat.

One of the injured suffered three broken ribs.

The boat operator has now been identified as Jada Chabot, 15, who appears on the TV reality show, "Brat Camp."

Chabot faces multiple charges in the incident.

Well let's see .. that's 2 outta 9 ... personally I am not surprised.  These are kids.  Kids make mistakes, some more egregious than others.  My question would be WHO allowed her to operate the boat (what's the age requirement for operating a boat in her state?)

Can't really fault the media for making the Brat Camp connection ... sensational headlines sell ... news is a business just like wilderness therapy camps.

I feel so sorry for these kids. Not only were they forced to go through that hellish camp, and tell the whole world about their personal issues-- now they're being followed around and every mistake they make is in the headlines.

I still can't believe their parents were dumb enough to put them in this messed up "reality" show.

Yes, I agree.

Anywhere else, these hometown stories would not make national headlines.

The kids really are in a fishbowl, now so more than ever. The parents should have taken the long view and passed on consenting to allow their children to participate in a made-for-primetime-tv reality show.

Well, it was Jada's parents, of all of them, who questioned their decision but were guilt tripped by the eagle man to leave her there.
Basically told them she was lying and manipulating.
