None of the abuse described is acceptable. All the abusive program staff should be held accountable for their actions, especially since parents were counting on these programs to treat their troubled youth. A good lesson to be learned from this video is not to ever believe any sort of "miracle cure."

Not only accountable, but CRIMINALLY accountable! Nobody should be able to get away with treating kids like that!!!

I was also in Paradise Cove for 2 years. I also have been to prison 2 times in California. and nothing i saw in prison, as bad as it was compared to the wwasp program in Samoa

I spent 19 months at Paradise Cove in Samoa. These people should be locked up because, even at 32 year old, I still have nightmarish flashbacks of that place. Fuck 'em.

Anyone who is a prison guard is usually a sadistic moron....

But do you all know??? these facilities are still fully functioning 'troubled youth programs' and 'christian accademys' in the US as well as other countries....

As a former member of a "boys home" I can attest to the problems mentioned. Thank God somebody is making a difference!

I'm a dad and the only thing I spank is children, I have respect for teenagers or anything else older than teenagers.

[SergentSpain]

teenagers are weaker than us, but unlike children they deserve respect just like we do, why abuse them?

the're just younger adults to me.

[Tattlegirl]

teen abuse whould be talked about more, kind of like children almost teenagers DO tend to still be allot weaker than most adults.

[Joanthecutey]

if there is a new elder abuse showing up to aware the world, why shouldn't there be a teen abuse to be aware of as well? it's only fair.

teens seem to be just as fragile as old people to me.

espiecially the really young ones who are 13, 14 and 15.
