A case of child abuse resulted in the death of a 9-year old girl from Alabama who was forced to run laps non-stop as a form of punishment outside her house. She later collapsed from dehydration and low sodium and blood sugar levels.
These are the exact kinds of punishments being used at private therapeutic programs specifically designed for teens. Their primitive, prolonged torture is used for therapy in many wilderness programs. If you have had no idea about what such punishments can do, this case is a clear example of what exactly happens in remote locations where these is no help from the outside world. Unlike the troubled teen industry there were witnesses, and police later criminalized that young girls care takers. If only there were witnesses of abuse in troubled teen schools and programs, just imagine the amount of media attention they would get based on the disturbing story of this innocent girl.
