Teen Torture, Inc.
Channel: Investigation Discovery (DStv 171 / StarSat 223)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary Series
This documentary series follows on-going efforts to expose America's "troubled teen" industry.
For six decades and counting, this billion-dollar business has used what it calls "tough love" as a form of treatment despite numerous deaths, countless suicides, life-altering injuries and instances of child sexual abuse.
Until recently, nobody has been able to stop it.
The series follows a recurring band of young survivors and whistleblowers and their harrowing first-hand accounts of extreme abuse and cult-like brainwashing at the hands of these programs, starting a social media firestorm in 2021.
Survivors, including rap star Bhad Bhabie, are determined to take down this business once and for all.
While they have seen impressive victories, the "troubled teen" industry has long been protected by power and is not going down without a fight.
In the series premiere, "Abused in Plain Sight": Jen spends years trapped at Provo Canyon School.
At 13, Danielle Bregoli, the rapper Bhad Bhabie, appears on the Dr Phil Show, which sends her to a place for troubled teens.
Both institutions mete out child abuse with ties back to a cult.
