Alaska State Troopers are charging two juveniles with vehicle theft and criminal mischief after they attempted to run away from a wilderness therapy program on Prince of Wales Island.
Given how “therapy” programs like this are, at best, complete bullshit and, at worst, full of fraud and abuse, I’m leaning on supporting the kids here.
There was a recent case in NC where a 12 y/o was found dead with his underpants off and the camp obstructed the investigation and continues to maintain the death was accidental even after a coroner ruled it was not. It’s the second death at that camp as well, previous one was in 2014.

Honestly even if the place is totally fine and treats the kids well, they’re teens doing silly teen things, slap on the wrist at most…
