"Not often that I get the opportunity to stir up shit effortlessly. I am sitting about 20 feet from the office of the Jamaica Coalition for the Rights of the Child. Their aim is to ensure that the Jamaican government complies with the UN's declaration on the rights of the child. Now I'm not sure if some rich kids lying on their faces are gonna be much of a priority in a country where children are routinely gunned down by police, but Jamaicans are sensitive about bad foreign press, so you never know." -

About 10 years back a camp for "troubled" kids killed some kid. On accident of course. It was in Arizona.
