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.

Aunt Martha's, a #TroubledTeenIndustry program for foster youth in #Chicago, was quietly closed after allegations of CSA by staffers, sex trafficking of young girls, thousands of reports of violence, and years of failed oversight, reports @injusticewatch

"Stone testified the company put profits first and kids safety second. Sequel Youth and Family Services recorded millions of dollars in profits while being accused of abusing children at its two dozen facilities"

"Children in #Dallas County’s #JuvenileDetention center were unlawfully secluded for days, circumventing due process and leaving them without access to an education, exercise, outdoor recreation or showers, according to a yearlong investigation"

"Between 2019 and 2023, the court sent about 230 children to private centers, at a cost of nearly $8 million. Of that, the court spent over a half a million dollars to house a little fewer than 100 children at three youth care centers"

Today, the @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysMeansCmte unanimously passed H.R 9076 “Protecting America’s Children by Strengthening Families Act,” following the hearing that I testified for last month! I strongly urge the House to bring this important bill to the floor and I am grateful to all the legislators that heard our stories and pleas and voted in support of legislation that provides greater resources to families 👏 #StopInstitutionalChildAbuse

[Chelsea Maldonado @YEP4Rights]

Looking forward to the release of #TeenTortureInc on @StreamOnMax! The #TroubledTeenIndustry's success is dependent on secrecy. Exposing the abuse that is inherent to this model is key to finally ending it.

Thanks @JENvTTI and all survivors in the show!

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is not telling the truth.

He can shut down these abusive boarding schools that prey on desperate families and torture children. He's just choosing not to.

You won't have to beg me to do my job.

Incredible piece on #Utah's massive #TroubledTeenIndustry from @DailyMail by @MartyGottesfeld and survivor/author Nora Ashleigh.

🤬 Per the article, THERE HAVE BEEN SIX DEATHS IN TTI PROGRAMS IN UTAH OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
