COALITION AGAINST INSTITUTIONALIZED CHILD ABUSE

Why should we be concerned?

Research has uncovered, and families have reported:

▪ There are no laws to protect the children outside the US
▪ Many facilities are not licensed and there is no oversight
▪ Children often lose their basic human rights
▪ Many have no privacy to use the restroom or shower
▪ Children lose contact with the outside world
▪ Once phone calls with parents are finally allowed, usually
3-6 months after the child enters the program, they are
censored; children lose all other verbal contact with the
outside world
▪ Children’s letters to extended family and friends are usually
not delivered, and mail is censored
▪ Many have spent months on their faces in isolation

This stuff scars kids for life. I have the scars myself, thats why I take the time to post this information . I AM NOT PART OF THE ABOVE WEBSITE but I agree 1000%

These abusive places are expert at blame the victim and scare/trick the family for $.

Institutions are hard to police, I have worked in one myself they can end up as insular worlds as you say, cut off from the outside world. So I'm all for this coalition.
One problem is as far as contact with the parents are concerned often they've caused the problems in the first place.
