It's like playing russian roulette with your kid's psyche, only the odds are a bit worse. If a program fits the warning signs on isaccorp.org, run the other way.

(russian roulette) Good analogy.
I also agree with the other posters about naming a so-called "good program". Without the name of this program, I don't see any reason to discuss anything.
It seems logical that anyone who is genuine about helping teens and suggesting that there are good programs in existence has conducted a tremendous amount of research to support this claim. If this person cannot name one (good) program, I am inclined to believe they are either in support of specific bad programs or are just incredibly ignorant about this subject. The latter doesn't make sense due to the passion involved with this subject. Would it be irrational to deduce that this is a (specific bad program supporter) attempting to cloud the subject matter pertaining to programs in general?
All other arguments are futile. I have searched extensively and have found no evidence of a good program. I have, however, found widespread evidence of brainwashing in programs especially within the time-frame of the first weeks or months in the programs. Lack of communication to parents or to the outside world including an attorney ad-litem is the largest warning sign I have found in every case.
