This industry was dragged into the spotlight last December when 17-year-old Taylor Goodridge died at Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah.

On the Sky News Daily Podcast, Niall Paterson is joined by our US correspondent Martha Kelner to take a closer look at troubled teen camps and hear from whistle-blowers and campaigners calling for more regulation.
