The “troubled teen” industry, which refers to a network of private
wilderness youth programs, therapeutic boarding schools, and
residential treatment centers has recently come under scrutiny
thanks to TikTok. Survivors of this industry have taken to the app
to post stories of their traumatic experiences. On today’s show,
Madison and Rachelle talk to Kendee and Daniel, two TikTokkers
who’ve become voices of the “troubled teen” industry survivor
movement. They take us through what they refer to as “legal
kidnapping”, the harsh conditions and manual labor they were
subjected to, what life’s been like since they got out, and how
TikTok has helped them heal. Podcast production by Daniel
Schroeder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
