In January 2024 a survivor of a troubled youth facility that is still in operation in Utah (LifeLine, also known as LifeLine Inc., LifeLine Utah, LifeLine For Youth, LifeLine Behavioral Health, KIDS of Greater Salt Lake) shared her story on Mormon Stories Podcast.

Mormon Stories Podcast was issued a cease and desist letter by LifeLine and the video of Becky bravely sharing her story of abuse in the troubled teen industry, funded by the church, has been temporarily removed.

Everything Becky shared is true, and is unfortunately only a very small portion of the abuse we experienced. As a teen I was kidnapped from my bed and sent to LifeLine against my will for over a year until I complied with LifeLine rules and became active in church participation.

Since 1990, thousands of children have been sent against their will to LifeLine. LifeLine coerces parents into sending children into their care. Kids become trapped and abused for a profit, and in many cases the church funds the abuse. The abuse and trauma we experienced as children has impacted myself and thousands of others, and haunts our lives as adults.

We will not be silenced.
