Episode 232 : Meg Appelgate

Trigger Warnings : This episode talks about child abuse, kidnapping and CSA. Please use discretion when listening.When she was just 15, Meg Appelgate was abducted by two strangers in the middle of the night from her home in California. Over the course of the next 6 months Meg would enter a behavioral modification program called Chrysalis in northern Montana where she would spend the next 3 years. These programs go by the names "youth residential treatment centers", "wilderness programs", "boot camps", or "therapeutic boarding schools" among others, but they are what we now know as the Troubled Teen Industry, a vile abusive system of control that Meg is fighting to end.Show NotesConnect with Meg : Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Website | LinkedIn | TikTokUnsilencedUnsilenced TikTokTroubled Teen IndustrySynanonMeg's Book! - Becoming UnsilencedThis Is ParisWWASP SurvivorsFormer Campers Speak Out on Trails CarolinaProject SPEAKOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?
