Friday’s acquittal of seven guards and a nurse on charges related to the death of 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson has thrust boot camps into the news again. The acquittal came two days after the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing on the topic.
Below are video excerpts. The speakers, clockwise from the top left, are:
- Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif.;
- Robert Bacon, whose 16-year-old died while attending a wilderness program;

- Greg Kutz, an investigator at the Government Accountability Office;
- Paul Lewis, whose 14-year-old son died at a residential treatment facility;
- And Allison Pinto, a research psychologist and professor in medical health.
