"Allegations of Neglect and Assault at NC Wilderness Camp Where Boy Died"

A former student of a North Carolina wilderness camp is suing the program, alleging staff members dismissed her claims of sexual assault by another camper and denied her basic necessities when she attended in 2016. The lawsuit accuses Trails Carolina of creating an environment where troubled children sexually assault each other and failing to provide adequate care for the children in its custody. This comes after a 12-year-old boy died at the camp, prompting a state order for the camp to cease new admissions until an investigation is completed. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a jury trial, and the plaintiff hopes to spread awareness and inspire others who have experienced trauma in similar programs.
