ABC Brat Camp
Anonymous:
I just want to say, I watched 3 quarters of the first show (my tape didn't record the whole thing :sad: ) and I have to say I would have gotten a lot out of going to this thing back when I was a child, and my parents would have too.
Nevertheless, my parents made me go to 'camp' and it was very similar to this, except we were pampered and it was a sleep over camp, so we had tents, did hikes, and did everything for ourselves...
I think parents should also watch this show because they can learn how to speak to their children properly.
I wish I could have watched the whole thing. Or at least see if I could tell one of the little girls was telling the truth about her ?cocaine use?. I find this to be a very enlightening documentary.
Good job!
Any idea if they are going to be repeating it on CBC?
Are there any upcoming projects? Perhaps an update with the kids?
I am an independent filmmaker myself, and seeing this kind of television gives inspiration to getting more down to earth programming for children to grow and learn from.
Enough of this mtv brainwashing hog-wash!
Cheers!

I suggest you read some more about what's going on in places like Sagewalk when there are no cameras around.
By the way-- having kids sleep in tents outside in heavy snow and low temperatures in not "therapeutic". It's negliegence.
Why should these kids be forced not only to stay at a place where they are obviously not cared for, but to broadcast their personal lives to the entire world in addition?
Just look at the title to realize the way these children are thought of. In the eyes of Sagewalk, ABC, and now people like you who support this shit, these kids are not people who have had some problems and difficulties as a result of their past/relationship with parents/ADD/etc. Hell no. These kids are a bunch of goddamn brats who should be dealt a dose of "tough love", the tougher the better.
Shows like this are not only cruel and disturbing, they also give many more small-brained parents the idea that some program can 'save" their child. Which means more children at risk for abuse and neglect, which is a part of the system and a routine in places like Sagewalk.

The "Earth Names" thing was really retarded---maybe there's more to it though, than just stupid New Agery--maybe they realize the kids will be pissed later on and don't want to be easily identified and tracked down. [Miller and Ruth Ann Newton can be contacted at (727)392-3437]
The whole group of kids seemed to have lame, lazy, ineffective parents who couldn't deal with normal adolescent rebellion and teen angst. I felt particularly bad for the girl who was molested by a family friend years prior---it's like she's being punished for it (blame the victim, anyone?).
It is truly disgusting and indicative of our fucked up culture that this is being marketed as "entertainment". Probably the beginning of some social engineering expirament to make this type of shit more palatable to the population at large---"Straight--it's not just for druggies anymore".

I agree.
The moralistic undertones of the show made me want to gag.
And how 'bout those field counselors? I wouldn't hike across the street with any of them.
OverLordd:
As a boy scout I can stand up and say they would not be trusted with the youth of my troop, they dont know how to camp, and if they were with our troop their tents would most likely be set on fire, or... well... lets just say boy scouts know well how to use their knifes.
