Kids don't just wake up one day and fall 'off the tracks'. If you look back through the kid's/family history, you will find the causes for uncooperative, self destructive behavior.
If you want to know where these problems begin, watch Super Nanny and Nanny 911. I prefer the former.
You'll clearly see that kids' behavior is of the parents' making. And can rapidly change when the parent becomes a parent.
There is a serious epidemic of lousy parenting in this country, and TBSs are filling the void. For a price.
If structure, responsibilities, consequences, appropriate modeling, learning tools, conflict resolution are provided at home and the child's not responding or cooperating, how do they achieve it in an institution?
I know, but I don't think you do.
