Shut down abusive Wilderness "Therapy" Camps in Utah

The Issue

I believe that these Wilderness "Therapy" Camps in Utah (for "troubled" teens) NEED to come to an end. There has been series of children being abused, neglected, and mostly brainwashed into thinking what these camps do is okay. The amount of children assaulted yearly has absolutely skyrocketed, as well as the suicide rates in these camps. Things need to change now.

Most of these camps are supposed to change a child and "make them the best version of themselves". But parents, let me ask you this, do you want your child being abused daily? Do you want to have your child crying and holding on for dear life? I know I would not want that. Governor Spencer Cox children do not deserve to be treated poorly and used for manual labor. I, as well as many other people, beg you to put these camps to an end. 

So I leave it at that.
