Two girls died. Asheville Academy shut down. Families deserve answers — and youth deserve protection from an industry with too little oversight.

The TTI continues to operate with little oversight with youth paying the price.

Adopted kids are being sent to residential treatment centers where many report restraints, isolation, and harm.

Families are promised help. Survivors tell a different story

As @ParisHilton has said, what happens behind closed doors needs accountability

[Tommy James Law @TommyJamesLaw]

Michigan voted 104-1 to restrict abusive practices in the so-called “Troubled Teen Industry,” including the use of blindfolds, handcuffs, and restraints during transport of children to residential programs.

These are children — not criminals.

More states are finally recognizing what survivors have been saying for years: accountability and oversight are long overdue. @ParisHilton @YEP4Rights @1SirCrypto @endthetti @EleshaJD @StaceyJSpiehler @sandinistaoliva @ICARSBanRandS @itscarolinecole @SenSaraGelser

Happy National Nurses Day 🩺

Today we honor the nurses who care for patients with compassion, skill, and integrity. Nurses are often on the front lines—advocating for those who may not have a voice and ensuring people receive the care and dignity they deserve.

“Once I returned home… the thrill wore off… and the person underneath was the same—just a little more broken.” GM, Survivor

Coming home isn’t the end. For many, it’s where healing begins.

We see you. We believe you. And we support you.

Happy National Teachers Day 🍎

Today we recognize the educators who show up every day to guide, support, & advocate for young people often far beyond the classroom Teachers are often the first to notice when something isn’t right & the first to speak up when a student needs help

An investigation by @AP found adopted kids are being funneled into for-profit “treatment” centers—where many face abuse, isolation, and restraint.

Some facilities charge $20K/month—with little oversight.

New reports of abuse at a youth detention center in NH.

Advocates say children at the Sununu Youth Services Center are facing illegal restraints, isolation, and neglect—despite years of lawsuits and scrutiny.

This is systemic failure.

Children in state care are being failed and it’s not accidental

This op-ed out of the @conmonitornews highlights how policy choices, underfunding, and lack of oversight are contributing to abuse in youth facilities.

Reform isn’t optional. It’s urgent.

Survivors are speaking out—and demanding change.

In this powerful op-ed, one writer shares how time in a Utah residential treatment center left lasting trauma and why reform for “troubled teen” programs can’t wait.

The Michigan House has advanced a bill to ban restraints & late-night transport of youth to “troubled teen programs.

Survivors have long called these practices coercive & traumatic. Reform is overdue.

Survivor @megappelgate of @unsilenced_now:

Parents are being misled about “teen treatment” programs—while youth face coercive, unregulated systems.

This isn’t new. Survivors have been warning about it for years.

A lawsuit is putting the “troubled teen” industry under scrutiny.

Nine women say they were abused, isolated, and psychologically controlled in an Indiana faith-based program, cut off from the outside world and kept in fear.

As of September, 152 youth in Michigan’s direct-placement program were living in out-of-state facilities...That was up from 122 children sent out of state in 2024 and more than double the 74 children in 2023."
