Farewell to the sadistic pleasures of Brat Camp

I wonder if any of these kids knew or have since learned about the teens who lost their lives while participating in a wilderness therapy camp? Kids like Ian August, Michelle Sutton, Kristen Chase who died while on a forced hike? Sadly, it appears nobody wants to talk about these dead kids. How they died and why. Not the industry nor the parents who support it. Why? These deaths were all preventable. None of these kids had to come home in a body bag.
Worse still, if wilderness therapy is any safer today because of mandatory laws governing things as basic as WATER, it is these teens who died from dehydration who made that possible. They paid with their lives. A price no child/parent should have to pay.

There are a number of excellent, safe wilderness programs. I know it is hard for you to admit that, but there are. I know several teens who grew up and went back to work at their wilderness program during and after college.

Right, like these camp counselors on Brat Camp? They were pathetic power trippers. They should go get a real job instead of playing games with kid's minds. Teen Helper 101 ... what a crock of shit.

So how many kids are forced to do wilderness therapy BEFORE being sent off to some locked emotional growth (cough-cough) school? And you don't think something stinks to high heaven here? Wake up and smell the M.O.N.E.Y. asshole.

Tell me how enforced hardship, repetition of trivial and mundane tasks, boredom, isolation and deprivation are therapeutic?
