WTF!! - Christian Boot Camp Counselors Drag 15yo Girl Behind Van

Arrest warrants have been issued for two officials, Charles Eugene Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt, at Christian boot camp, Love Demonstrated Ministries, of San Antonio, who are accused of dragging a 15-year-old girl behind a van after she fell behind the group during a morning run, authorities said.

The two were accused of tying the girl to the van with a rope then dragging her, according to an arrest affidavit filed Wednesday by the Nueces County Sheriff's Department. Arrest affidavits for Flowers and Bassitt list a $100,000 bond.

Flowers, the camp's director, allegedly ordered Bassitt to run alongside the girl after she fell behind, the affidavit said. When the girl stopped running, Bassitt allegedly yelled at her and pinned her to the ground while Flowers tied the rope to her, according to the affidavit.
