A state inspection report offers new details on the hours leading up to a 12-year-old’s death at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents.
Staff at a North Carolina wilderness therapy camp failed to check that a 12-year-old boy was breathing during his first night at the facility, a state report released Tuesday found.
The boy, who has been identified in law enforcement records only by his initials, CJH, was found unresponsive around 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 3 at Trails Carolina, a camp for troubled adolescents in the western part of the state.
And since the zipper was broken, they secured him in it with zip-ties.
And when they noticed his shallow breathing, they didn’t check on him because they couldn’t see through the bivy and were too fucking lazy to untie him to see if he was okay.
That’s not manslaughter. That’s depraved-indifference murder.
