One day the kids who are sent to meanspirited or abusive programmes will be middle aged. This means that their parents will be elderly. I dont know how much the standard of aged care varies in the US but I do wonder if many people have given any thought to the fact that their kids will have an opportunity to pay them back when selecting a "facility" for them in their dotage. Perhaps some entreprenerial member of the y generation will invent a BM facility for senior citizens who act out, refuse to follow the rules, experiment with sherry & arthritis pills, or dress in an inappropriate fashion while listening to billy joel and manilow. Payback can be a bitch.

More likely is that the growing number of Program Survivors will, when their parents are elderly, either ignore them or allow them to wallow away their last few years in the kinds of wherehouse facilities we already have for old people.
Nobody needs to invent a new BM program for the elderly -- there are already plenty of places that neglect and/or abuse them in much the same way teens are abused in the Programs they get sent to. Just that in the case of the elderly, nobody gives a shit about "behavioral change."
In the future, the only age range that might be safe from the threat of abusive residential facilities will be those in the 21 to 55 year old range. All others will be targets.

The future? It's only those productive workers who fuel the economy who are valued, now.

When I was younger I used to volunteer at several. You walk in, and it smells like piss. The majority of the elderly piss and shit themselves and go for hours sitting in it. They are all brought out to the common area. Some of them tied into their wheelchairs. It's a sad site.

That almost makes me want to become a skydiver.

I'll be bungy jumping at the age of 70 just hoping that rubber band breaks.
