A Call to Revise or Reject HR 6358, the “Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs Act of 2008”

November 22, 2008 Cults, Freedom, Human Rights, Legislation, Programs & Boot Camps No Comments

To: United States House of Representatives, United States Senate, and President of the United States

We, the undersigned, call on Congress and the President of the United States to revise or reject HR 6358, the “Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs Act of 2008″.

There are a number of problems with the legislation as it is now written. HR 6358 fails to include:

*Regulation of the referral and transport (hired kidnapping) industry
*Regulation of “faith-based” programs such as Bethel Boys Academy and Hephzibah House
*A federal ban on off-shore programs
*A federal rule banning psychological torture and unethical, experimental behavior modification methods in residential teen programs
*Additional civil and criminal remedies for victims (i.e. extending statute of limitations)
