Speaking of Cults...The Troubled Teen Industry with Meg Appelgate

from Speaking of Cults · host Chris Shelton

This week I welcome Meg Appelgate, founder of Unsilenced.org and a survivor of the "troubled teen industry" - a loose network of abusive labor trafficking and cultic control groups which focus their efforts on abusing children and teens to "manage and control them" so they will somehow stop being so "troublesome." It's truly sick and disgusting work and it's being done to the tune of $23 billion in government and private funding, and no one is doing a thing to stop it.   Meg's website: https://unsilenced.org
