FAMILIES AND CHILDREN EXPLOITED SEXUALLY–Families and Children Exploited Sexually (FACES) is a group consisting of families of children who have been treated at Resolute and Resource Treatment Facilities in Indianapolis. Children and parents report that staff at these privately owned juvenile sex offender treatment centers routinely use emotionally and physically abusive practices on their patients. FACES held a protest in front of Resolute on April 30, 2005 during the center’s visting hours. The group’s leader, Janet Boeldt, grandmother of a boy treated at Resolute, reported that 20 members of the group particpated in the protest. They were unable to speak with visitors to the center because staff told visitors to remain in the building until the protesters left.

The protesters were objecting to abusive practices at Resolute, inluding the requirement that children turn in daily descriptions of deviant fantasies and masturbation habits.
