A state inspection report offers new details on the hours leading up to a 12-year-old’s death at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents.
Staff at a North Carolina wilderness therapy camp failed to check that a 12-year-old boy was breathing during his first night at the facility, a state report released Tuesday found.
The boy, who has been identified in law enforcement records only by his initials, CJH, was found unresponsive around 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 3 at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents in the western part of the state.
or they didn’t sit there and quietly accept abuse
or tried to run away and got caught (and/or were found out before they even had a chance)
Or their parents don’t like their friend group (not uncommon amongst the more hardline religious families)
There’s probably plenty more I’ve forgotten since leaving reddit. The whole system is fucked and the “camps” shouldn’t be legal.
The OTHER fun one is what I recall being referred to as “gooning”, where the parents arrange for the kid to be picked up in the middle of the night, put in a vehicle, and driven to the camp. SOMEHOW that is legal and not human trafficking.
I could be wrong here… But I’m 99% sure that’s not what gooning is…
You aren’t wrong.
Actually, @Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone both right and wrong. Gooning is also a form of kidnapping.
Well I’ll be [gooned]
Gooning is something unrelated. The term you’re looking for is called “kidnapping”.
I’m aware of that definition. But it was also a term used on reddit by r/troubledteens for this specific circumstance. Going off the phrase “hired goons”
Which can also be called gooning.
