If this is true; then surely there will be charges filed. Surely.
And if so, there may be a trial.
If so, they will surely indtroduce the coroners findings.
Trials are public events.
If this is true - surely it will be known.
If true, there needs to be a demanding that it be made known.
Even apart from a trial, maynbe there will be a coroners hearing. I seem to recall people can attend those.
I would think, if this is true, the family would be shouting about it; making it known to who ever will listen.
Anybody know who they are?

Why do you say that? Seems to me this is already in the process of being covered up. This rotten, out of control teen tried to fight the drill instructor. They then had the right to slam him to the ground and restrain him. It is very unfortunate that his collar bone was broken. And very much a freak accident that caused the anuerism to burst.
Makes me sick, but I can hear it now.
Just recently a new victim was rescued from Bethel Boys Academy *unannounced*. He had been sick for weeks yet still forced to exercise all day long, starved, you get the picture. When the Mom got him she rushed him to the ER where he was admitted.
Bethel was questioned by the state over that. Guess what???? Many other boys and employees witnessed this boy "making" himself throw up all the time. He wasn't really sick.
This boy was about dead from dehydration, bacterial & staph infection. Immediately it was covered up.
Anonymous:
Most positive that this could be covered up as in nothing ever happened IF the media doesn't get involved. But I know of a few good people who will make sure nothing of this matter would happen.
cherish wisdom:
The more abusive teen programs frequently deprive injured and sick children of proper medical care because they do not want the outside medical professionals to report the signs of child abuse and neglect to the authorities. This happens frequently. Apparently this boy had his clavical fractured sometime during his week-long stay. It was probably broken in a take down. A take down involves all available staff. Up to seven adults will throw a child to the ground and hold them down. When this happened to my own child she remembers a staff member start to cry and say, "if I hold her down any harder I'll break her arm." She did see a girl with a broken nose from having her face slammed on the floor in a take down.
Restraint can be deadly and it is used far to frequently for punishment when teens are involved.
say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.
