    Too many individuals have suffered through the abuse wrought by these facilities and come out irreparably traumatized. It is time that an end is put to what often amounts to unregulated child abuse.

    To learn why this is so important, read the articles at http://reformatvictory.com/
    One of the main predators mentioned on that website was very close to starting a facility in my town when he was exposed by the media.

    It's about time that religion stopped being exempt from abuse/neglect regulation. Religous freedom does not extend to human sacrifice!

    If we don't take all necessary safeguards to protect youth in "reform" schools, boot camps and the like, abuse is going to occur and we as a society will be responsible for "letting" this happen. Abuse and neglect don't reform; instead it breeds more anger, frustration, and ultimately hopelessness and rage that will be vented on society.

    Was a resident at a Mercy Ministries home in St. Louis - this organization and others like it NEED to be regulated. Too many people have been hurt...we need to do something about this.

    I have a niece in Turning Winds in Montana. I have found out that children have died and tortured at the hands of these people. At 13, I was put into a reform school run by nuns -- and that was just the beginning of my being dragged through the system, abused, raped, beaten up -- for 7 consecutive years. I wish I could just pick up my niece and take her away from this hellhole. This bill is well overdue and should have been passed decades ago. Don't wait any longer!!!

    I remember reading about these scary places a few years back. Some of them will con the parents into sending kids there on the grounds of "being possibly at risk for drug use" - this is before they've ever done anything! It's a nightmare. These places just let the inmates torture each other, they don't even have to hire counselors that way. These places ought to be outlawed. At the very least, they need to be regulated.

    If the government did it's job this law would not be necessary, the operators would be in jail on kidnapping and assault charges. But they don't so we need this.

    There are better ways of dealing with the problems that trouble our youth. Being involved parents is a good start. For ouside help there are many non-abusive counseling and youth activities available. If you abuse, you only teach the young how to abuse. They will either abuse others or themselves. Stop the insanity.
