Back it up THE WHO - Niles doesn't have to prove a damn thing. The proof is in the pudding.
Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 kids are sent to so-called "specialty" schools (sic) every year without their parents having to show good or in fact, any cause, whatsoever.
Logic, not speculation, tells you that since these schools are designed primarily to enable parents to control their child's behavior, the majority of the kids who are (cough-cough) "enrolled" in these facilities are there by order of their parent - not the state and/or judicial system.
Parents can lock their kids up for any number of reasons, including the condition of being a normal teenager.
