WBTV Investigates: 12-year-old boy died at Transylvania Co. camp in early February

"Search warrants filed by the Transylvania County Sheriff’s Office said the boy was stiff and cold to the touch by the time first responders arrived, with his pants and underwear laying on the floor next to his shoulder."
This was a 12 year old boy. This camp should be completely shut down. And thid is the second camper to die in 10 years after another 17 year old died after they ran away from the camp. What is going on there?
It took regulators a month to shut the place down. After none of the staff could explain how a 12 year old is found dead and naked from the waist down, the state let them stay open for a month.
And even then, the camp is complaining that “This negligent and reckless move by the State denied parents the opportunity to continue to care for their children in the appropriate manner"
It must be one of those "behavioral" boarding school type places. How these are still legal in America in 2024 is a mystery. There's hardly one of them that doesn't have some kind of abuse or neglect reported.
That seems likely, since the kids are going to DSS not home.
