🔥 What Hazing Looks Like in Harney County
Hazing isn’t just “rough initiation.” It’s abuse. It’s torture. And it happens right here in Harney County.
In our current case, a student was:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups — until his muscles broke down and his kidneys failed
- Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault
- Forced to eat until he vomited — then made to keep running through his own vomit
- Humiliated and degraded — carrying sexual objects, stripping in cold weather
This isn’t tradition. This is abuse. And it happens in Harney County too.

Step 3: Report to Authorities

- Report to the school — Burns High School, Harney County Middle School
- Report to the Oregon Department of Education if the school fails to act
Step 4: Do NOT Talk to the Organization
- Do not speak to coaches, advisors, or school officials without legal counsel
- Do not sign anything from the school or organization
- Do not post about the incident on social media
Step 5: Call Attorney 911 — 1-888-ATTY-911
We will:
- Protect your child’s rights
