2008 Restraint Case

An r/troubledteens program summary describes a 2008 restraint incident in which a 15-year-old resident was hospitalized and two staff members were arrested. The same advocacy summary states that one staff member later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and received probation, while the former director died before trial.

The summary says the camp closed shortly after the incident and later reopened under Greg Kanagy in 2009. Gator's current public materials present the camp as active.
