Seeing 500 names on this list is overwhelming because I remember the nights I spent crying over what happened to these children. You are helping me transform that grief into the momentum we desperately need to stop these facilities from hurting anyone else.

Seeing this momentum grow brings back the ache of every child we have lost to these brutal, unnecessary restraints. People are finally looking at these facilities with the scrutiny they deserve and it gives me real hope that we can stop this suffering for good.

Seeing one hundred people recognize the trauma these children face gives me hope that change is finally possible. My own memories of these facilities haunt me but your support makes me feel less alone in this fight.

How is this still allowed to happen?? Face down restraints are basically torture. End these programs immediately.
My heart breaks reading these stories. No child should be treated like this when they are supposed to be getting help. Disgusting.
My own son was put in one of these places and came home with bruises all over he was terrified to talk about it for years. This needs to end now.
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that these boot camps are still operating. They profit off broken kids and make it worse. Shut them down.
we need better laws to protect these kids. total nightmare.

Stop the abuse. These are children not prisoners. Keep them safe.
