Why do kids keep going missing? Inside the troubled teen industry.

Why do kids keep going missing? Inside the troubled teen industry.

In 2004, 16-year-old Daniel Yuen left his home in New Jersey and travelled to San Bernardino, California to enrol in a so-called "tough love" bootcamp. Daniel had been struggling with depression for years. Desperate for help Daniel’s family was promised that the CEDU Running Springs facility would help their son. Instead, he vanished.


In the podcast Lost Kids from USG Audio, journalist Josh Bloch dives into the world of teen bootcamps. He talks to one family about their search for their missing son and discovers one bootcamp's ties to one of America's most dangerous cults. He joins us today on Crime Story to help make sense of it all.
