A center for troubled youth in New Mexico has come under fire after nine teenage boys went missing over the weekend, following allegations they were beaten and forced to wear leg shackles.

The teenagers – ages 13 to 17 – were all accounted for after they were reported missing from the rural ranch. Amber Alerts that had been sent out for them were cancelled.

A lawyer for the center said the boys were away on what was supposed to be a two-week camping trip in southeastern Arizona.
