Aggravated Assault at Christian Summer Camp

[sweetycakes]

Not trying to find fault with the parents it was clearly the fault of the people in charge, but why would anyone send their daughter to "boot camp"?

There are many reasons why a parent would send their daughter to boot camp.

Many rebellious teenagers out there

(not that I would know )

Not that this is definitely the case in this particular instance.

But I was just reading on another forum from a child who was in the same boot camp as the girl, at the same time, and she said categorically that this did not happen. She knows the girl in question, and she also knows the pastor.

Don't know who to believe. If it was true. It is horrendous!!!

Hmmm . . . the girl faked her injuries and made up the story? Well - I believe this possible. Someone close to me was falsely accused by a youth who wanted to get him off her back about being with a boyfriend who was leading her into evil.

I was in a place something like that when I was younger and the girls there were scarier than the leaders of the place. I don't doubt if it was made up info but I wouldn't put it past some extremists to do something like that, either.

If a troubled teen who has a problem with authority goes to a Christian camp and is allegidely hurt, who can we believe?

Is it possible she couldn't stand the authority the camp had over her and did this to shut them down, at the very least get out of there?

It is quite possible.

Very sad indeed. And disturbing.

Many girls who go to those places have parents who just need a break from their kids.

I hate reporting bad news, especially in the Christian Community, we need to pray for the family of the victim and pray they get the justice they deserve.

I edited my post to take out statements that called this a Summer Camp, that was incorrect, it was a boot camp.

Sounds more like a prison in Iran than a camp in Texas. I hope they give these brutes the max; there's nothing 'Christian' about child abuse.

As I told you, my mom had a lot of kids. My mom needed a break.

She still apologizes but I've never blamed her or held it against her.

If anything, God has used it to help me better understand many things in one lesson over a 4 month period.

It was part of His plan and it all worked out for good.

ps: I was always the "good kid" who never got in trouble, lol, I chose to go and give my mom the break.

Boy, was I in for a surprise...
