The teenagers came from a camp where they excelled in behavior modification. It is not known how the employees were trained. The court system secured an agreement with the owners that they never would establish a program in the state again.
The owners started a new program in another state and it only took a few years before a teenager was discovered on his own at sea while he was trying to escape the program.
The book focuses on the impact the tragedy had on the local community.
It also questions why many programs like Camp O'Neal to this very day continues to hire employees with no or very little training. A terrible accident happened in 2010 in Utah. Two teenagers were killed in a traffic accident. The driver was no professionel driver. In 2011 a poor driver with many fines on his record managed to kill another teenager in Florida.
Maybe it is all about profit. We don't know how much the care of the teenagers in their care count in their mind but it seems that the teenagers are looked upon as a necessary burden - a cost needed to run the business.
