63 Days of my life...In all their horrific glory.

63 Days is a blog that I have been following for quite some time. It is about a girl (now grown) who endured hell in a "brat camp". It is quite heartbreaking at times. Read her story from the begining (you have to start from the bottom of the page and move up).

In the 80’s, "boot camps" for troubled teens became the new treatment dejour for parents at their wits end. However, after numerous allegations of severe abuse, untrained staff and several deaths, these camps came under much scrutiny. Steve Cartisano ran the most notorious of these camps, called Challenger Foundation. I was 15 when I was kidnapped from my bed and taken to Challenger. 63 Days is the story-in-progress about my brutal experiences there, my subsequent escape and the aftermath. This is my story, this is my life. from 63days.com
