The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: Summit Children's Residence & School, what is the story?
« on: August 07, 2012, 09:54:10 AM »
As a former employee there, I can confirm that this place does not have treatment as their first priority. The social workers are a joke, they spend 5 minutes with the students in the their meetings and the students don't talk and they just say OK. Don't get me wrong there are a few, and i mean a few, SW's there that truely care. The others, not at all. When a student is looking for them because they have an issue they avoid them because they don't want to be inconvenienced. One SW leaves at 3PM right when the afterschool program begins and that's the start of most of the problems kids experience. That's ridiculous.
The students are left to run wild. They smoke cigarettes, fight, do drugs, have sex, steal, destroy property and leave the grounds on routine. They are given slaps on the wrists and the program tries to keep them in this cycle of failure so they stay in the program. They are a bane on the surrounding community. They are located across the street from an elementary school and they are allowed to gather to smoke directly across the street. Would you want to be picking up your 8 year old from school and have to walk by a bunch of degenerate teens smoking and cursing everyday? There are multiple health and ethical violations going on there.
