Nevada-Based Rite of Passage Hit by Abuse Charges : Delinquent Boys Camp: Is It 'Bouncing Back'?
May 05, 1986|JOHN HURST |
Times Staff Writer
Officials of Rite of Passage, a wilderness treatment program that houses California delinquent boys on a remote desert campsite in Nevada, insists that it is "bouncing back" from child-abuse allegations made last winter, but the organization remains at the center of a bitter and complex controversy. The dispute surrounding Rite of Passage is in some respects a case study of the complexities of maintaining standards for the housing and treatment of troubled and delinquent youngsters. The Rite of Passage case is further complicated by jurisdictional questions because the program is located on an Indian reservation.Source: http://articles.latimes.com/1986-05-05/news/mn-3476_1_passage-camp |
