Got it. You sent your kid to someone else and all they did was fill her crank case with STP and tell you she was all fixed.
Even though you backed into it, Who, what you've described in a little analogy nutshell is the Teen Help industry.
"We make the noise go away, and, if it ever comes back, you can send her back to us. It's called a 'guarantee'!" :roll:
"Why do they offer a guarantee on the box? Because they know what they're selling you is a guaranteed piece of shit! I could take a dump in a box and mark it 'guaranteed.' I've got a lot of spare time..." - Tommy Boy
(parenthetical note: As sick as it seems, most of these "TBS's" do indeed offer a guarantee, in writing, on your kid's behavior - if that doesn't make you run like hell from these shysters, nothing will...)

Kids don't just wake up one day and fall 'off the tracks'. If you look back through the kid's/family history, you will find the causes for uncooperative, self destructive behavior.
If you want to know where these problems begin, watch Super Nanny and Nanny 911. I prefer the former.
You'll clearly see that kids' behavior is of the parents' making. And can rapidly change when the parent becomes a parent.
There is a serious epidemic of lousy parenting in this country, and TBSs are filling the void. For a price.
If structure, responsibilities, consequences, appropriate modeling, learning tools, conflict resolution are provided at home and the child's not responding or cooperating, how do they achieve it in an institution?
I know, but I don't think you do.

--- Quote from: ""TheWho"" ---Okay try this one:
Its like waking up one morning and realizing that your car has grown itself into a high-end Dodge Viper, despite your careless neglect of things like its transmission fluid, brakes, tires, etc. You can't drive it anymore- it's way too fast for you and the handling is too precise for you to be able to make a left turn without skidding out of control. So in order to destroy the car's capabilities and make it easier for you to handle, you get right to work, order the Chiltons manual do some online research, maybe adjust the valves, but all to no avail. So you call up some local people to come look at it, but they say something like "Worsen the handling? Screw up the brakes and the engine? We're not going to do that to a car." So you find someone who gets paid a hefty referral fee to send the car to someone who performs massive downgrades to vehicles. Research has shown that this is only a short term fix and the car will end up regaining some of its capabilities and end up becoming a very twitchy, unpredictable vehicle, and hasten the inevitable and definitely make things worse, but that's not the man's problem as the car will be out of his hands by then. This makes the man very relieved- the other cars won't try to become Dodge Vipers and he doesn't have to try to drive that thing anymore. Another option would be to replace the fucking driver, but he's way too egotistical to see that as an option.
So this decision to send the car off basically means the driver doesn?t know enough about Dodge Vipers to drive one, he knows the sacrifice will affect everyone but he honestly doesn't give a shit as it's not his problem anymore.

HLAs guarentee had a stipulation- you must send your kid to one of their pre-approved traditional boarding schools. Didn't want the kid coming home and dashing the illusion that they had fixed him/her.
