Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
Lon of Strugglingteens.com is in it for the money
Anonymous:
Strugglingteens.com has banners to WWASP/Teen Help websites, even though Lon W. and his clueless sidekick Jena have voiced their concerns over the WWASP/Teen Help operation. I guess money talks!

All consultants who place kids in "behavior modification" schools, or the like, are in it for the money. I don't beleive there is even one consultant who is out there who is placing kids in these programs because they are "concerned" about the teens.
It is exploitation. They are feeding off the neeeds of others for their own profit. They are in part responsible for the abuse that is occuring.

It's not just the consultants. THEY ALL ARE. The sick thing is that only damage is done by these programs. NO GOOD. Destroying lives for profit.
People are joining cult-like groups and are too brainwashed to notice. Some people will go along with anything as long as they think everyone else thinks they are doing the right thing. Having the "groups" approval is very important. Stubborn following fools on a path of greedy destruction. Like the Pied Piper.
It's sickening to know that this has been going on for over two decades and nothing has been done. So many traumatized lives that never recovered in those years and still are trying. Lives that were supposed to have been "saved." Just heart breaking. :cry:

No, I think most of them are just as brainwashed as their cows.
I think it's important to know the enemy. If you're looking to bust them or get them to confess to racketeering, I think you're taking the high road. These people do not know that what they're doing is wrong. They think they're doing something good. They really, truely and honestly believe that kids who listen to devil music or argue with parents or flunk or skip school or whatever the complaint are evil, dangerous and sick and could use a little brainwashing.
Here's a current event that illustrates the point.

Essentially, because of their zealous faith in the idea that drugs that are currently illegal are the root of all evil, these people who have sponsored, lobbied for and will probably vote to approve this legislation are willing to sacrifice the integrity of our election process for the cause.
Think they'd make the same kind of legal exception for the EPA? Probably not. Think a different pack of congresscritters would hesitate to do so if they had the majority? I don't. And you would think that a bunch of lawyers, judges, congresscritters and policy analysts would consider the implications.
But, to their minds, that's something completely different. They don't know that they're brainwashed zealots and so they can't imagine that any other zealot cause but their own could be seen as worthy of compromising election laws.
Do you see what I'm getting at here? They think it's OK to kidnap kids out of their beds, drug and shackle them if need be, because they think their cause is so just. It's not asif they hide the fact. They advertise the "escort services" right on the front of their home pages. It's more a bad case of higher purpose than a bad case of greed. If it were just greed, well they might lobby for broader legal gambling and invest themselves in that. After all, there's more money in it and the victims are willing participants.

Antigen, Point well made!!!
I think my statment was an over simplication of a very complex issue. I agree with you on the fact that they see what they are doing as noble because they truely believe, like my ex believes, that it is ok to risk a kids life (since they seem to be heading down a destructive path) in order to save their life. I don't buy that logic, but I know alot of people do.
But....I do beleive they are in the business of child placement because of what they can earn doing so. In otherwords, I don't think they would be in this "profession" if they were not being paid for it.
