EDITED for formatting.
My husband just told me last night about a "camp" he got sent to as a teenager called Sorenson Tonga where he actually thought while he was there that it was some type of trafficking thing when he was there, and he had to be around these local natives who he says were practicing cannibalism, and after he started to figure this out, some of the locals threatened him with being fed to an alligator, or made a comment to the effect of I wonder what you taste like to that alligator.
He had to do something wrong to get the camp counselor to call his mom and try to complain about his behavior. He stole a bag of yeast and then claimed it was for hooch, and when she called his mom he told her he had to do it because his life was threatened if he didn't steal it. Prior to that they were not allowed contact with the outside world at all. His mom was somehow able to get him a flight out within two days after that.
There was a another guy there who was threatened and they fed him some type of mushroom to make him go psychotic and he quit talking. He used to run to the end of the island and yell out for his parents and that was the only time he said words.
I googled it and quickly found something I consider suspicious.

SORENSON-TONGA KIDS OK
(November 16, 2006) Andrew Douglas, Executive Director of Sorenson Tonga, located three miles from the Tonga capital city of Nuku'alofa, 435-231-2634, reassured Woodbury Reports Inc. this morning that the recent rioting in the Tonga capital city have not impacted the program, and the children placed there are safe and doing fine.

On this page when you click on "More" it links to some kind of Christian blog where whatever was in the article article has been removed.
My husband said that the recruiter, Andrew Douglas, promised kids before they left for this camp (some kind of a boot camp type environment) that they would have a lot of fun and he would visit them while they were there, He would pick them up and take them to the airport to go there, even.
He never came to visit.
I found this and I think this is probably a photo of Andrew but I'm not sure.

On the linked pages, the other dude, Steve Bozak, has a directory of "boarding schools" he's visited and recommends to parents:

There is a subheading for "therapeutic schools" that has like over 100 different places he lists:

(not going to copy all of them here)
He calls himself an educational consultant.
My husband says after he left Tonga they called his mom and claimed he still needed to be there and literally tried to "force" her to get him to go back. He said that it was a program that costs $5000 per month. He also said she was so scared about what had happened and she knew it was some kind of trafficking thing but said it was best if they just forgot about it and didn't try to get those folks in any type of trouble because of it being too dangerous to mess around investigating.
I have not figured out if it is related to this guy, a billionaire from Utah, https://www.forbes.com/2008/02/10/sorenson-billionaire-charity-face-markets-cx_mr_0208autofacescan02.html#7cc8721e197d
I am going to try and figure out if that was why it was named Sorenson. It may be unrelated, but if it's related then it's probably something more. George Webb mentioned the other day that billionaires are almost all involved in some sort of trafficking of either drugs or weapons or children, usually all of the above.
I did find another Sorenson school in Utah that was a horse ranch / horse therapy school. Working with criminal defendants after law school for my boss (I am not a lawyer) I also remember hearing about horse therapy ranches being a thing that criminal courts will funnel people into as treatment programs, so these must be places where they send people to get hooked on heavy doses of psychiatric drugs.
There is a kids' camp related to this at the one in Utah (can't find link at the moment, but I'll add it when I find it). It reminded me of the ranch people found last year that Paddock owned in Nevada. The website had a clover on it, but I'm not sure if that was pedo related or not.

I never got the ping. I would have answered. @Cc1914 What happened to her?
[–] EffYouJohnPodesta [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
She and I have been emailing and she decided after finding the article about the number of pedophiles who use Voat to make a post about it. Nobody on this board was supportive of her and several pedos or otherwise shills immediately responded that they are fine with pedos using Voat. Due to that along with some of the other drama she doesn't want to be here anymore so she deleted her account.

This saddens me greatly. Yes, they are on here I have been attacked by them. I don't fault her, we are all different. I have always respected her. I will greatly miss her. Please give her my regards. She is a very special person. <3
