KENTUCKY - UPCOMING - NEWS

ADOPTED-LOCKED AWAY

DESCRIPTION: Adoptees are vastly overrepresented in the so-called troubled teen industry, a sprawling network of private, for-profit wilderness camps and residential treatment centers. They account for 2% of American children, yet an estimated 25-40% of those in facilities, experts said. Dozens of adoptees say they were subjected to dehumanizing punishments — scrubbing the floor with toothbrushes, being routinely thrown to the ground by guards and restrained. Companies charge as much as $20,000 a month and advertise to struggling adoptive parents, promising to treat reactive attachment disorder, a medical diagnosis that experts say has been corrupted and was never meant to be applied to these kids.

UPCOMING: By 04/28/2026 07:00 a.m. EDT, ('Text', 'Photo', 'Graphic', 'Video', 'Alternate(backslash)xa0Headlines')
