Camp staff are alleged to have put the teenager in solitary confinement on Saturday and then beaten him that evening.

You know you are addicted to the internet when you are driving through Saskatchewan, see a sign that says "Webb Access 1km"- and your first thought is "Hey- I can check what's happening on CP."
