We Warned Them: Freedom Village
Margaret Mayer
6 episodes
1 week ago
These are the accounts of students attending Freedom Village, the self-proclaimed premiere home for troubled teens. Shielded from the scrutiny of the public by its seclusion in a sparsely populated region nearby Rochester New York, it maintained its reputation and relationships with conservative fundamentalist religious organizations and operated as a state-sanctioned method of behavioral therapy. What is the long term aftermath for the thousands who passed through these doors? And what can these stories tell us about the multi-billion dollar troubled teen industry?

What is a Cult Anyway?

Margaret sits down with a woman who was born at Freedom Village and spent the first 24 years of her life under Fletcher Brothers' care. Her experiences, the perspective from two other long-term residents turned staff, and the advice of an investigative reporter raise the question, was Freedom Village a cult?
