Sometimes the only option for troubled youngsters is a child camp where boot camp-like lessons are taught by counselors who practice a “tough love” philosophy. Although the focus is on rehabilitation and the curbing of undesired behavior, sometimes these camps use violence and harsh treatment to teach their lessons.

There have several high-profile cases involving child camp restraint deaths. One such incident took place in Georgia in 2005, involving a 13-year-old who was restrained by at least three counselors for over an hour before he stopped breathing and later died. Such behavior by counselors is inexcusable and is clearly an abuse of power and disregard for camper safety. Due to their recklessness, a life has been terminated and a family devastated.

If your life has been affected by a case of child camp restraint death, it is important to understand your legal rights. The first step you must take in the recovery process is to contact an experienced and compassionate attorney. Your decision to pursue legal action against those responsible for your loss will help you achieve justice and bring attention to the issue of unsafe child camp restraint practices nationwide.
