BHAD BHABIE - Breaking Code Silence - Turn About Ranch abuse Dr. Phil | Danielle Bregoli

i was 13 years old when i went to turnabout ranch i feel like it's very important for me to speak on this because i kept my mouth shut for so long i did touch on it a couple times in different situations but i really want to get my whole story out there and let everything just be out because that's the thing with these places is you have no evidence you don't have a phone there they don't have cameras they're like there's no evidence of none of this and obviously all the staff is in on it so they're not going gonna snitch on each other all you really have is the kids that are there so a young lady her name is hannah she recently um spoke out because while she was there she was sexually assaulted and then when she reported that she was assaulted she was punished by staff now when i seen the punishment she was given i knew like okay i really have to say something like i really have to have her back on this because i truly believe that they did that so dr phil i am going to give you from now till april 5th to issue an apology not only to me but to hannah and any other child that you sent to turnabout or any other program like this and if you don't i'm going to handle things my way somewhere in the middle of august i went i went on the dr phil show and my mom and my grandma knew they were sending me here i didn't know i was going i went school shopping right before because the school was supposed to start when i got home from la from doing the show so part of the whole dr phil show is they send these kids to either turnabout or these other programs that are also in utah but they're all wilderness programs and they're all [ __ ] up okay so turnabout is in the middle of escalante utah it's a very very very very small town it's got one gas station one one grocery store everybody knows everybody there you see you're in the middle of nowhere you know there's nowhere to run if you try to run out there you're either they're gonna find you you're gonna get in more trouble or if you do get away you're going to get eaten by a coyote or something because chicken there against my will they give you transporters um transporters are two people a male and a female that come in the middle of the night they don't tell them where they're going they just take them they handcuff them they put them in the car it's basically like kidnapping we got there i got out of the car and i just seen it was like it looked like nothing it was just super dark i seen like all the circles and stuff and i seen the little cabin and i was like oh [ __ ] i'm not built for this like i'm just a little bougie yes so for the first three days there's no showering they put you in a circle which is a it's a tp it's a little teepee but it's open and you have to sit there for three days they wouldn't let me lay down for nothing like i was falling asleep and they were like ah get up get up so i'm just sitting here like this is gonna be really bad when i see these people have no sympathy i was like oh i'm really like i'm really doomed they strip you from your whole personality you have to act like just whoever they want you to act like they tell me okay these are what your chores are gonna be i don't remember what they were but they were like these are what your chores are gonna be this is what you're gonna be doing here's your level one binder you do the same thing every day chop wood take care of the animals this place is all about taking away privileges like okay yeah the phone is a privileged tv like all that but they take away like necessity privileges like sleeping on a bed eating good food not being cold [Music] i remember the first time i got in trouble now this is my first time being here like i don't really like yeah y'all explain to me the rules but i'm 13 like i don't really know like exactly what i'm supposed to be doing there's been times where i i reported another student acting inappropriate or just anything like that didn't even have to do with me and i would get in trouble for just witnessing it if you reported another kid like getting bullied by like their peers or something they would just say well maybe that's what they need or like something like that even though there was written rules if if a staff was angry at the moment or if you just did something that they felt was bad you then you would get your own punishment like they would make up their own plans for you it's really frustrating because even if you don't know the rules if you [ __ ] up you're still in trouble there's not no i didn't know you're still you're still in deep [ __ ] [ __ ] that's minor is major to them so if you do something like the tiny tiniest thing you get a check if not you have to be on reflection reflection is the punishment when you do something so bad or if you do anything that ticks them off you have to go on reflection you walk in the arena for hours on end you sit outside in the cold on the on the floor you have to pick up piles in a wheelbarrow of horseshit and they want big piles so if you have to do 25 piles you're really doing like 50 wheelbarrows so while i was there just a lot of crazy things happen i seen a kid get held down for trying to leave just honestly i don't think he was trying to run away i think he was just trying to like walk out the door and just like get some time to himself and they restrained him they held him down they they had no problem holding kids down which is against the law you're not supposed to touch the kids but they had no problem doing that it's just our word against the staff's word when you're there because there's no witnesses there's no cameras you don't have a phone there's none of that that's why i was always so scared to speak out cause it's like no one's gonna believe me a lot of things that like happened to me though i was it hurt me so bad because i was genuinely like confused i'm writing letters to my mom like mom i will do anything like you don't understand what this place is like like you can't do this to me like i will do anything i'll do therapy every day like i will go through an outpatient program all that like just please let me come home the staff when i got there was this dude jimmy and his dude ted these are the night staff two of the nice half surrounding they were really really sweet [Music] one morning i was cleaning up for breakfast and one of the seven was standing right next to me and she had her walk under so i heard everything one of the kids he had tried to steal a car or something everyone was screaming on the walkies like it was really crazy and he ended up killing one of the staff members they made all the kids that were at rowdy come down and then they didn't they told us not to tell us anything a day later they have us all every kid that's at turnabout they have us in a circle and they're like listen there was incident i know some of y'all heard it over the walkies jimmy died and so we're all freaking out because jimmy was like i said he was one of them that was there the first day i got there he was really sweet not only did jimmy die but one of the other staff members that was there at the time alicia who was the daughter of the nurse alicia she was also injured and two years later she died and she was also left disabled after being attacked by clay so the mother of the kid clay who killed the staff she was married to the brother of the president of the program which i also believe is a conflict of interest i don't know why they would do that so it was really sad like they wouldn't tell us what happened and all that and any of the kids that were there like they couldn't talk about it but they were like really traumatized by it even the ones that weren't there with traumatized by like i heard it over the walkie like that's scary like like so you got kids here that are killing people and like i said earlier my mom had always threatened me as like oh i'm sending you away i'm sending away but she never did it this was the first time she really did it like i never thought my mom would do this so what parents need to understand is if your child is acting out because of trauma like sexual abuse or maybe like the kid's parents got divorced or just anything like that you don't send your kid to a program like this you need to send your kid to a program where they're not being punished and it's not about everything's not about you're in trouble you're in trouble and it's just it's just really [ __ ] up you're you're just using children to keep your ranch going and you're not even feeding them or letting them sleep in decent condition just doing things that no one would ever want done to their child and not even that and and doing it to kids who are so helpless and when you know that you're watching their letters you know that they don't have any contact with their parents so i'm not really sure why dr phil still sends kids here it just it really doesn't make sense like are you trying to help them or are you trying to hurt them even more because i mean we all know he's a phony as it is but like don't be sending kids somewhere just to make make it like you're trying to do something there was already lawsuits before i went there there's now many more after but there was one as far back as 2012. now this place has been going since the 90s i think so i could just imagine like how much bad stuff has happened there these are documented things that have happened just the abuse the the malnourishing physical abuse mental abuse all that and this place is still up and running it just doesn't make sense how could you not know about the murder it was on national like national news how could you not know about that [Music] you
