Boot Camp Helps Troubled Teens and Their Parents

In a suburb of Los Angeles, a 12-week boot camp for teens is making a difference. The El Monte Police Department's TORCH (Teaching Obedience, Respect, Courage and Honor) Program teaches parents how to deal with their disobedient children. While kids learn how to be respectful and go through group counseling, parents learn how to communicate and steer their kids in the right direction. Most kids who attend the boot camp are referred by schools or the courts, but it's actually open to anyone who wants to attend. Read more from the Whittier Daily News.
