Turn About Ranch is a factory of child abuse and child labor, designed to “fix” troubled teens through use of forced physical exertion, labor, and psychological torture tactics. These include, but are not limited to, public humiliation, isolation, and starving minors in an attempt to make them complacent enough to reprogram their thoughts. It enforces traditional gender roles and requires little to no background check on their workers. Staff members have been accused of rape, physical abuse, and neglect, and it is almost never followed up on. This ranch is designed to hurt, rather than harm the participants.
