Honey, junior is only 13 and he's already 6'3".

That's exactly what I thought! Did the marketing execs just throw several darts at a "make a kid" board and write down the results?

"Okay, the kid is 9, has tattoos and piercings, built a meth lab in the basement, and got three DUIs."

Isnt it Illegal to post made up testimonials? Even if it is not real, what parent would respond favourably to such marketing? Isnt being quiet and nerdy considered desirable. What else do 13 year olds do but skulk about the house playing computer games anyway?

I am not sure if it is legal, or not? It's evil though isn't it?

Not sure if the false testimonials are legal or not, but isn't child abuse illegal? Once these people are breaking that law, how much regard do you think they have for other laws?

The marketing dart board 'make up a child' example was hilarious! If ever there is a 9 year old who can make a meth lab in his basement, I say there's a kid who should be fast-tracked to an advanced degree in chemistry at a young age. That's a real talent that should not be overlooked!

Troubled Teen Programs
I have been working on a new website to provide useful information about troubled teen programs for parents. Some things I have found it hard to find is actual costs and financial aid/loan information which we have put up. We also put in an online chlid assessment test.

I was wondering if those of you who are or have had your children go to a boarding school if you would mind giving me your thoughts on the kind of information you are looking for that would be useful to put online. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Troubled Teen Programs

You are trying to use century old techniques to address modern problems with our youth, hence your atrocious success rate. If familes want to get serious about solving problems they need to get involved. If I were to ever approch a program it would have to be something more like this one: http://homeawayfromhome.bravehost.com/
