Bad News Brat Campers

Apparently, some of the kids featured on ABC's Brat Camp really are that bad.

Two of the misguided youths that appear on the tough-love reality series are facing police charges after they were recently involved in separate criminal incidents.

Jada Chabot, 16, and Isaiah Alarcon, 17, were two of nine participants in a 50-day program in the wilds of Oregon called SageWalk Wilderness Therapy Camp. Their progress (or lack thereof) was documented by the network, as the teens hiked, learned to build fires, went on solo adventures and took part in other supposedly character redeeming challenges.

However, since returning home after filming wrapped in January, neither teen seems to have been able to steer clear of trouble. Chabot is facing four police charges after plowing into a family with a motorboat last week and Alarcon is facing charges for allegedly spray-painting racial slurs in front of a home last month.

According to her bio on ABC's Website, Chabot has "dropped out of two boarding schools and nine private schools in the last six years" and "throws parties and experiments with sex, drugs and alcohol." Alarcon, meanwhile, "is an angry punk rocker who smokes, drinks and has an obsession with fire. "

In a perfect world, both teens would have returned home from SageWalk reformed and ready to make changes in their lives.

However, though the outcome of Brat Camp is confidential, Chabot and Alarcon don't seem to make very good advertisements for the program's success rate.

Chabot was reportedly towing her boyfriend on a knee board behind her motorboat last week when she crashed into a boat carrying seven members of the Moraes family, injuring two children and flipping an 8-month-old baby into Massachusetts' Lake Pearl.

Grafieli Moraes, 16, was still hospitalized over the weekend with three broken ribs.

"The doctors don't know when she's coming home," the girl's father, Agenor Moraes, told the Boston Herald. "She's still shocked. She told me last night she has dreams of the boat hitting us. It's tough."

Chabot expressed her remorse over the incident, which has left her facing a charge of operating a motor boat negligently, in addition to other charges.

"This is the biggest shock of my life," Chabot told the Boston Herald. "I could have killed seven people. I feel so embarassed just walking around town."

Chabot also claimed that she's not really as bratty as she was portrayed on the show.

"I never knew how they were going to edit and cut the show," Chabot said. "I'm upset at the way they portray me as a brat and that I don't care about anyone but myself."

Meanwhile, Alarcon was detained July 29 and charged with interfering with the exercise of civil rights and damaging property for painting racial slurs outside the home of a black preschool teacher in Winton, California, following a night of booze-fueled partying.

The teen reportedly told officials he meant no harm when he painted the slurs and was actually trying to remove them when he was arrested. He spent the weekend in juvenile hall and was under house arrest at his mother's home as of Sunday.

A hearing was scheduled for Tuesday to determine whether Alarcon would be tried as an adult.

If convicted, he could face up to two years behind bars and $15,000 in fines.

The troubled teen's mother would not let her son comment on the incident, but had previously told the Merced Sun-Star that his behavior had improved after he returned from SageWalk.

Alarcon, who comes across as perhaps the angriest teen on Brat Camp, has been vocal against the camp on camera and even escaped from the program at one point, according to ABC.

The series, which airs Wednesday nights at 9 p.m., has been performing well for ABC, debuting in fourth place last month with 10.4 million viewers and holding down the seventh place spot for the last week in July, per Nielsen Media Research.
