What a nightmare, a bunch of young people the system and society don’t trust, and a bunch of people with power over them and unlimited access.

I'm sure the people who couldn't be cops wouldn't take out their anger of literal children who were at their mercy. Then they never woulf would happen in the good ol' USofA!

So many pedophiles in law enforcement, we need to keep children away from them.

Reminds me of the serial statutory rapist police officer in my old town... 32 years he was on the force, dodging responsibility. He raped a good friend of mine while in uniform when she was only 13... This was 25 years ago

He was eventually let go recently after they found child pornography in his house he had taken out of the evidence locker.

>Chief Rick Bourassa lays out 25 allegations which include assaults, attempted fraud, inappropriate behaviour with a minor, habitually providing misleading information, unsafe storage of firearms and inappropriate physical contact with a female co-worker.

And Yet Murdock contends the:

>chief's decision to fire him was "excessive, unwarranted, unnecessary and inappropriate."

And we wonder why he’s merely being fired, rather than charged.

Wow the troubled teen industry sucks and apparently so does the state run troubled teen industry. Isn't there some judges that have even been caught getting kick backs for sending kids to juvenile detention centers. It's truly sickening.

r/troubledteens for the camps I'm not sure about a sub for kids sent to juvenile halls.

Same thing happened in Idaho. I expect it's rampant at these places.

Yeah the sober/recovery aspect is so fucking shady. Don’t even get me started on sober living for adults.

There’s a place in my town that owns one with no money out of pocket they charge ur insurance rent and all ur food and meds (overprescribed like crazy) and with little to no support and people actively using, when you eventually relapsed you went to…….

The rehab that they own! Where they would do the same but for like 45-50k a month instead of 20k

And you could do this literally over and over for free with no consequences

There’s some good ppl in all of those things but far too many are run by greed. The recovery industry has some dark parts ofc

This is why kids need a bill of rights. You can pretty much do anything you want to a kid as long as the parent is ok with it. Lock them up, starve them, torture them, insult them, scream at them, try to pray away the gay from them, brainwash them, cut off contact from other kids, force them to attend church, synagogue, mosque, indoctrinate them, force them to work, force them not to work, take all their earnings. It just goes on and on. It's weird how kids are treated like they are the literal property of their parents.

Another big industry here are sketchy and numerous rehab centers with little oversight. Something about Utah encourages them, everything from cheap land and money scams to religious conservatism with a foundational tenet to "save" people. That's not to say that some of these clinics have merit, a friend of mine swears by one and had a good experience with one.

There are many horror stories though, makes me sad.

Body Brokers was a good film about this. I'm in UK & our detox/ rehab system is thankfully very different. I was shocked at the shenanigans that went on. All based on a true story.

Yea its weird so many people in the comments are acting like abuse of power isn't a widespread systemic issue in almost all institutions near power, and that this issue is just somehow constrained to law enforcement.

My wife was sent to Cross Creek Academy in La Verkin 18 years ago. The stories she tells sound like a twisted version of a teen prison ran by predatory men with power addiction issues. She is still fighting demons.

Ever since I saw Sleepers I just assume this happens most every juvenile facility.

Bc conservatives think the upper castes are inherently good people who temporarily do a bad thing, while lower castes are inherently bad people the sometimes go against their nature and do a good thing.

It’s why judges feel compelled to give lighter sentences to pedo pastors and police. They always say it will “ruin a good life” as if there is a grander, God-sanctioned narrative that MUST play out.

But send a homeless person stealing a sandwich or a black guy caught with weed into their court! They will trip over their robes in the rush to throw the book at them and “make an example” for the community.

Yes in PA two judges were convicted of that - they were receiving bribes for sentencing children to the for-profit detention centers. Thousands of lives destroyed for a bit of money to people that were already rich.

Google "kids for cash" for the full story.
