When did your troubled teen become fodder for a fucking industry? The Troubled Teen Industry's "profit growth and expansion" depends on ever-increasing numbers of parents being scared shitless by an RTC or EdCon. Parents are "manipulated" into believing their troubled teen will become another victim of the addictions, whoredom, and mental disorders pandemic amongst modern Western adolescents. The EdCon or RTC Admissions flunky smells fear and moves in with this deal sealer, a sadistic assault on the desperate, emotional and tired parent(s).
"If you won't commit to providing the financial resources necessary to get young (insert child's name)the kind of world-class emotional treatment this program receives international acclaim for, (your child) will face three realities: jail, death or the mental institution. Our program has an 85% success rate - isn't (insert kid name) acting-out and producing ear-splitting shrieks in a violent plea for professional and compassionate mental health care?"
What one parent processes during the largely ignored sales pitch: "Financial resources...I couldn't ransom Sweet Baby Jesus for the jack this program gets for tuition...JAIL, DEATH OR THE NUTHOUSE? There's the coups de grace, this trained ape has been sitting on that line. Shit, I have to sign or look like some bastard with ice water in his veins. The"acting-out"(When I was a troubled teen,"acting-out" was commonly called "full-contact sport fuckin'') and the poor kid's screams are pleas to be freed from this Dr. Mengele-style "modification".
The parent looks at the EdCon and sees a third-rate ass-clown, shucking and jiving for his program kickback. The Paki computer tech named Billy-J.R. who wasted twenty minutes looking for a computer fix in a microwave troubleshooting guide was a higher life form than this lying fear-monger. A fake "expert" pushing residential treatment on a child without even meeting the kid. The parent threw the pen on the EdCon's desk.
"We'll seek community treatment that involves the whole family without any forced separations of indeterminate length. I've known my child 15 years - I'll determine whether I'm being lied to about abuse or "manipulated". You people give "tough love" to kids who are strangers - you don't love them, you just store them. Now go fuck yourself,"
The program trolls complain about the lack of maturity on Fornits?? What the fuck, for eight years we've had DickandDubya as role models for "mature" adults. Notice how much better Cheney looks these days? The last time God stretched out his red right hand and gave Dick's black heart a violent squeeze, Cheney's people panicked and called in a Haitian doctor with dubious credentials. This Dr. Baron Saturday ordered a dried puffer fish, a chicken (Like a fucking bloody Mau-Mau, Dr. Baron Saturday dismembered the bird with a machete), a gallon of fresh pig's blood, and a young, fresh heart ripped still-beating from the "donor". Cheney looks real good, huh? Notice how he never blinks now and occasionally bites fingers off journalists or shoots one of his old friends for kicks. He's Zombie-Dick now.
D.Bush launched a family vendetta and blew the shit out of Iraq based on bullshit intelligence. Dubya's response: "I was very disappointed in the failure of the intelligence community". Then a female member of the intelligence community had her cover compromised by a Bush "ally". Very mature behavior amongst world leaders.
Does maturity mean launching a thinly-veiled crusade under the banner of National Defense to slaughter another religious group? Is it mature to violate our privacy in the interest of National Security? Fuck, there has been one major attack and I still doubt any Arab was involved. That was an inside job, don't you know? Dick-a-licious and Dubya are mature sociopaths. Now that Dubya and DIck are out of office, is it time to start an International War Crimes trial?
Stay high, fly low. Clear heads last longer.
