Kate Logan talks about her documentary "Kidnapped for Christ."

[misterhighwasted]

I watched this interview on PIVOT this morning.
Kate Logan, a Christian Evangelical, began this project excited to show what the parents of a "troubled teen" could do to help them on the road to goodness.
What she found as she followed along was enough for her to question her religious upbringing.
She witnessed the abusive treatment of the teens, removed from their homes & taken to the camp, never knowing when they would ever leave.

I happened to catch this show flipping channels & this interview shines a bright light on the abuses these kids go through for often, no reason but being a teenager.
Hope Kate Logan's documentary opens dialogue with parents & I hope her pursuit of legislation to regulate is successful.

Kudos to Kate Logan.
MUST SEE

I found this entire story pretty fascinating.

1. This is really interesting.

A suggestion: consider posting a video in the Video & Multimedia forum, where video clips tend to stay on the first page a lot longer than in GD.

3. Thanks for the tip: I'll try that

I can post the link & story there, I think.
Posts in GD do travel pretty fast

4. You are welcome. Logan says with proof, what we've been saying all along.

Wonder how much a parent pays to ship their kids off to a Christian correctional camp like this one.

Another faith based, for-profit disaster.

6. I remember there was a tuition figure quoted in the film, but don't remember the number

But it was disastrously expensive, like above 40k a year. My husband audibly gasped.

8. 40 grand to send your child to a hell hole like this?

How sickening.
Hope every parent & religious organization that has shipped a child off to a place like this see's this film.

Thanks to Ms Logan for making some 'noise' about the stupid things people do in the name of cult worship.

7. Re-Posted in Video & Multimedia.

Should be interesting to find out what the response is to this doc.
Legislatively as well as religiously.
Maybe have to just do a google search now & then to keep up to date.
