Podcast Overview

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?

Where Are They Now?

Margaret speaks with Jaz and Gabe, the founders of We Warned Them, who tell the story of how they stopped Freedom Village South Carolina from re-opening in 2019. However, Fletcher Brothers and the TTI network he sponsors are still operating without accountability. We explore how concerned citizens can identify residential care homes in their states, get involved with local governance, and prevent the Troubled Teen Industry from flourishing in their own backyards.

When Is It Over? The Aftermath

Shame, sexuality, flashbacks. What is the true legacy of the Freedom Village? To answer that question, Margaret talks with past interviewees and hears how their experiences of exploitation, and even conversion therapy have impacted their lives, often for years, decades, and even generations after leaving the Village. Maggie's knowledge as a clinical therapist helps us to uncover some of the more insidious psychological consequences of the treatments administered to the Village’s wards.

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?
