I was proud to be joined by Reps. <a href=\"http:\/\/schiff.house.gov\/\" target=\"_hplink\">Adam Schiff<\/a> (D-CA) and <a href=\"https:\/\/ros-lehtinen.house.gov\/\" target=\"_hplink\">Ileana Ros-Lehtinen<\/a> (R-FL) who introduced the &#8220;Stop Child Abuse in Residential Treatment Programs for Teens Act&#8221; that would regulate this multi-million dollar industry known for its abuse of youth. I was also joined by Jodi Hobbs, president of <a href=\"http:\/\/sia-now.org\/\" target=\"_hplink\">Survivors of Institutional Abuse<\/a> and Paul Gionfriddo, president of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentalhealthamerica.net\/\" target=\"_hplink\">Mental Health America<\/a>. The following are my remarks:<\/p>\n<p> The voices of young people aren&#8217;t often heard at the Capitol. And if you&#8217;re a teenager sent to a boot camp, so-called &#8220;therapeutic&#8221; boarding school or behavior modification program, it&#8217;s certain your voice won&#8217;t be heard because you&#8217;ll be cut off from all contact with your family and the outside world.<\/p>\n<p> So we are here today for those youth whose voices have been silenced. We&#8217;re here today for the parents who have been duped into believing these programs would really help their children. And we&#8217;re here to demand action on behalf of the hundreds of young people who have actually died&#8211;as well as the thousands who suffer long-term trauma&#8211;because of the abuse they endured while in unregulated institutions that masquerade as legitimate treatment programs.<\/p>\n<p> It isn&#8217;t &#8220;treatment&#8221; to withhold food and water from a youth. It isn&#8217;t treatment to beat a teenager. And nothing should ever be considered treatment that involves denial of medical care, solitary confinement, electric shocks or public humiliation. That&#8217;s not therapeutic. That&#8217;s child abuse. And yet that is exactly what&#8217;s happening throughout the country because residential programs that claim to help troubled <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">teens<\/a> are operating without necessary and appropriate oversight. This is not just a claim by our campaign coalition, it&#8217;s a fact documented by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.<\/p>\n<p> LGBT kids are particularly vulnerable. Even in states like California that have outlawed the dangerous and discredited practice of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> conversion therapy, there are residential programs that consider LGBT kids to be troubled&#8211;and in need of &#8220;fixing&#8221;&#8211;simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition to enduring the same horrible abuses as other youth, LGBT kids face additional levels of abuse that don&#8217;t stop until staff believe they&#8217;re no longer LGBT. No child can be &#8220;scared straight&#8221; and none should suffer damaging and sometimes fatal attempts to change who they are.<\/p>\n<p> It&#8217;s long past time for Congress to pass sensible legislation to regulate this rogue, multi-million dollar industry that&#8217;s profiting from the abuse of young people. If you&#8217;re on a plane that&#8217;s stuck on the tarmac for more than two hours, federal regulations require the airline to give you food and water. But if you&#8217;re a kid sent to a residential treatment program, there&#8217;s no regulation that protects you from being deprived of food and water for weeks. Our youth can&#8217;t wait any longer. We need to fix this now.<\/p>\n<p> That&#8217;s why I applaud the leadership of Representatives Schiff and Ros-Lehtinen for crossing the aisle to promote the Stop Child Abuse in Residential Treatment Programs for Teens Act&#8211;a law that would protect kids from unsafe programs. They understand that the health and well-being of young people is not a partisan issue. It isn&#8217;t a partisan issue in California, where today our state Assembly is considering similar legislation that received nearly unanimous bipartisan support from our state senate. And it certainly shouldn&#8217;t be a partisan issue in our nation&#8217;s capitol. I urge the rest of the House to take action to pass the Act and stop this abuse before it&#8217;s too late for any other youth.<\/p>\n<p> Please sign the Protect Youth from Institutional Abuse campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/pyia.org\/take-action\" target=\"_hplink\">petition<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pyia.org\/\" target=\"_hplink\">PYIA.org<\/a>.
