The Camp: When a US child experiment goes wrong

Camp DASH was no ordinary summer camp in Indiana.

Children were there to take part in a multi-million dollar nutrition experiment.

But events quickly spiralled out of control, and some of the children turned on each other.

Video won't play down here; (i.e. unavailable in Oz..).

What did they do to those poor kids ? Load up one group with junk food, white sugar, food colourings and preservatives..

And feed the others plenty of fruit & vege's and no junkfood ?

strangely, there was no mention of the dietary experiment

the documentary was about the bullying and violence, lack of supervision, breaches of security and protocol, lack of activities etc. this was all supposed to be about a huge food experiment and yet nothing was said about that at all. nada.

here is a youtube link which may work for you

A recipe for disaster putting so many troubled and violent kids together from different areas with little supervision.

Whether it was a huge con for organisers to get their hands on a good portion of 8 million $ or a well intentioned nutritional experiment to see how high blood pressure in kids would react to a specified diet, plus giving the kids a chance to experience a summer camp isn't clear.
The medical side of it is useless because all the data gathered is null and void, and many of the kids were bullied and sexually abused and harassed for their trouble....and it seems a lot of that is being hidden.
