Wilderness camp? I think not!

        Have you ever heard someone say "I tell it like it is"? Or if someone is talking about something important they will tell the truth? Well this isn't one of those times. As I say above, Wilderness camp? I think not!
       
        Anna Wheeler is a girl who her parents would label as a "troubled teenager". But I can't help but wonder if they know what they are talking about. To me, it sounds as if they never even got to know her. Her dad is a religious freak and her mom is to scared of her dad to do anything about it. What kind of relationship is that? I'll tell you. Not a good one. And because of that, before Anna could blink she was in what's called a "Wilderness camp". But the correct term for a place like where she went is more like prison. Or worse if you will.
      
        I watched a movie called Boot Camp to see what was going on in these kinds of places. The whole movie was based on real events. It turns out that there are over 200 boot camps like the one in Bad Girls by Alex Mcaulay with no government regulation at all.
      
        There's no warning. They come. They take you. And there's no if's, and's, or but's. You try to fight, you pay the price. Once you get there, it's just down hill. All day you have to do physical and mental labor. Sofie (the girl from the movie) has to go through these seesions where everybody from the camp gathers to hear someone answer why they were there. If you say "I don't know" they call on people to call you names like "liar" and other worse things that I can't write and shove you around like a play thing until you crack. It's physical and mental abuse. And it just get's worse. If you stop doing work for even a second, you get beaten. And it's done by the girls you call your bunk mates. It's gotten so bad that people have died. There are reports that show over 40 deaths in these camps.
       
        Anna Wheeler is just another one of those girls caught up in these camps. It happens plenty of times. But what hurts the most to me, is that people get away with it. These camp's are still going on. And children are still getting hurt. But because it's not happening IN the states, no one can do anything about it.
       
        What do you think? Is there any truth in "Wilderness camps"?
