Several years ago one of my friends told me his 8 year old niece was sent to a summer Christian camp. The parents were not fundies but they just figured it was a summer camp for Christian kids and they would do the normal camp things like archery and canoeing and so on. This is in Canada and I don't think anyone knew that such camps were in operation here so the parents were not prepared for what occurred.
When their daughter returned from camp (two weeks I think) she was freaking out and crying as she was so worried that everyone she loved was going to burn in hell for any number of sins that had been drilled into her head. I was told she had to be deprogrammed but I have no idea how that was accomplished.
That is fucking child abuse.
Not by the parents, by the "camp".
Were they able to get the camp investigated? Sued?
Bastards.
