Utah is one of the worst states for these places. The organization,
WWASP is responsible for many of these placements. Frequently the children are moved from one camp/compound/gulag to another with the help of WWASP placement agencies. They are currently petitions to close several WWASP related "private schools" and others that have been shut down due to allegations of severe abuse and neglect. These US owned schools often choose out of the country locations such as Jamaica and Mexico. Kids are literally kidnapped from their beds by total strangers in the night that are hired to "transport" them to these places.
Montel Willians recently had a show on the horrific events that take place in these places. A survivor of Tranquility Bay (a WWASP affiliate) was one of the guests, along with a Straight, Inc. survivor and family members, including parents. Another WWASP affiliate, Casa by the Sea in Mexico was recently shut down due to abuse and neglect.
