"Search warrants filed by the Transylvania County Sheriff’s Office said the boy was stiff and cold to the touch by the time first responders arrived, with his pants and underwear laying on the floor next to his shoulder."

This was a 12 year old boy. This camp should be completely shut down. And thid is the second camper to die in 10 years after another 17 year old died after they ran away from the camp. What is going on there?

It must be one of those "behavioral" boarding school type places. How these are still legal in America in 2024 is a mystery. There's hardly one of them that doesn't have some kind of abuse or neglect reported.

That seems likely, since the kids are going to DSS not home.
