Colorado has become the first state to ban court-ordered camps that place children into relationships with parents who have been accused of abusing them.

The camps, known as reunification camps, are ordered by family court judges in private custody disputes or divorces involving minors. As part of the order, workers with private transport companies for the camps are sometimes given temporary custody of the children so they can legally take the children from their homes.
