"During his stay at the ranch for troubled youth, which is located south of Hillsboro in Sierra County, the teen was “handcuffed and shackled and carried from a pole by his bound hands and feet as one would carry a large dead animal,” the suit alleges.

Chandler, the suit says, poured jalapeño pepper juice into the boy’s eyes and kicked dirt on him. Another time, Staeger was forced to eat horse dung, the lawsuit alleges."
