We are a collaborative of Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) survivors and advocates. Our mission is to educate the public about the current and historical dangers of the TTI, in pursuit of the ultimate goal of keeping all children safe from abuse. We are not affiliated with any political party, group, or candidate.

We created inspection trackers to make it easier for everyone to monitor violations in facilities for kids. Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming are available now. Trackers for 28 states are available now. More trackers are coming soon!
Residential facilities providing religious, behavioral, and mental health treatment to children exist all over the world. Some of these facilities are known to be part of the Troubled Teen Industry, while others have not yet been verified. Any facility where children live and receive care requires additional oversight. This directory helps communities monitor local programs and advocate for accountability. Click your home state for a list of facilities near you, or click here for international programs.
