Dr. Phil supposedly provides excellent follow-up for the guests that appear on his show. Yet, this poor Kim ended up at one of these wilderness boot camps. I've spent a couple hours reading up on these and am appalled that he would do such a thing, but am not surprised.
Does anyone know if any o f these teen "therapeutic" camps or academies, have any connection to the polygamous groups in the same areas. I read someone's post here about Gov. Romney, who is a mormon, who thinks polygmay is just the best.
Dr. Phil recently did a show where his son, Jay, exposed a polygamous cult, and I've read little snippets on the web where the claim is being made by the Dr. Phil show that because of Jay (and the s how) that the leader, Warren Jeffs, was caught. Someone wrote here that Aspen Education Group was purchased by a man who has his roots in Brigham Young and mormonism, and since child abuse and polygamy is so widespread in Utah and elsewhere, I'me wondering if there is any more of a connection to Dr. Phil and these teen help corporations. His recent Shape Up Diet pills were made by AmwayQuixtar, a fact that only is in the legal documents, so I put nothing past him.
Also, if anyone needs another outlet to get the word out on these monsters, there is a message board on RickRoss.com with a forum for abusive therapists and other "professionals."
