In the 1980's boot camp programs was the fashion in punishment of juvenile offenders. Unfortunately it was an untested concept and the tests took the life of 16 year old Mario Cano. After his deaths lawyers fought over the continued use of out-of-state programs like VisionQuest offered.
Unfortunately the battle field was the wrong one. A boot camp is not a tool to help teenagers out of crime. We do know that now. They cannot help fewer kids to choose without crime.
It took more casulties before this could be learned. Mario Cano was one of the first teenagers to lose his life in a boot camp. Had the world learned of his death lives could have been saved.

Leon Anger - 1984
Time covers almost all tracks when it comes to hiding up a tragedy.
Records show that Leon Anger died at Vision Quest a large firm working to "rebilitate" minors and he was one of the minors who died in the so-called care of Vision Quest.
Another site shortly state:
Leon Anger, Vanango County Pennsylvania, seventeen years old, September 16 1984, runaway/drowning
We don't know if he did run away from the program or it was a cover up.
If we look at the disappearances from CEDU during that period later police investigation has proved that the child murderer had access to CEDU-campuses when the children started to disappear.
Back then there was no Megan-law. There was no legislation so people knew where child offenders were living or more important where they worked.

Why are these children dying? (I was just a child....)
