Hephzibah House exposed again

A few years ago, we kept targeting abusive programs for young people. We even helped get a Midwestern chain called Pathway Family Center shut down completely. But in 2009, I also participated in a public rally against Hephzibah House in Warsaw, Indiana.

Remember that? I actually made that protest into my vacation that year.

Hephzibah House is an ultraconservative fundamentalist all-girls "school" that has faced decades of abuse allegations. The state of Indiana refuses to investigate, saying it can't. Yes it can. Officials are just making excuses.

Well, now CNN has finally taken notice, and it's produced a report about the abuse at Hephzibah House:

This knocks the wind out of the sails of those who cry that we're unfairly targeting programs, doesn't it?
