The wilderness based camps are some of the worst of these facilities. A lot of times they force them to camp in horrible weather conditions with little to no supplies. A number of kids have died at these camps

What the heck is a residential treatment school? Summer camp for suicidal kids?

“Behavior reform schools” aka places parents ship their kids off too when they don’t know how to parent their kid with behavioral issues. Then those facilities psychologically and sometimes physically torment these kids until they learn to “behave”.

actual it's worse because target the most basic of problems that any adolescent could have
"Low self-esteem and identity struggles" "Difficulty trusting or connecting with others" "Trouble making and maintaining friendships" "Family, peer, and social conflicts"

Send abusive kids off to camp with vulnerable kids, stick them in a cabin and say goodnight? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Yeah I’m remembering now when my sister went that a few of her peers were simply shy or just queer
