Troubled teens ranch raided after abuse allegations--November 24th, 2008--Authorities in Blount County raided "The Reclamation Ranch” on Saturday, taking eleven teens into state custody after allegations of abuse and torture. Investigators would not talk on camera but told FOX6 News the situation is very serious.

The main allegation where Blount county authorities were alerted involved a 17-year-old at the ranch who claimed he was severely beaten and tortured. Investigators said they had enough probable cause to execute a search warrant.

The director of the ranch  Dr. Jack Patterson said the way he and his kids were treated was unnecessary and he says he has done nothing wrong. Seventeen boys were taken into state custody; several girls were questioned then released.

Dr. Patterson said the sting operation was over the top. (Webmaster Note:  HEAL says, the "sting operation" was just right or perhaps didn't go far enough.  Close it down!)  (Unable to locate story at time of archiving.  Source: www.myfoxal.com  Date: November 24, 2008)
