I really wish we could reach these kids with information before they get sent off, so we could equip them with the mental and emotional tools to resist the damage.
For example, many kids fall into the trap of cooperating with the program because they believe it will get them sent home earlier, particularly if they have a lot of time until they age out of program control.
The truth is that they're likely to be in the program until their parents run out of insurance or money. At that time, they're likely to go home no matter what their behavior in the program was like.
So with that being the case, the best way of surviving the program would be to play the game *except* the aspects of it that would do actual harm. To play the game except for abusing or reporting other kids, to play the game except for the seminars.
Yes, I know this isn't playing the game at all and will get the kid dropped or pressured----the point being that is going to happen anyway until the parents run out of money.
So playing the game, specifically including making up personal prior traumas, but not doing harm, gets the kid out of the most hassle for the least long term harm to the kid.
The best personal prior traumas to make up would be traumas that are verifiably (later) impossibly untrue. For example, Grandpa Joe dies when you're five and you allege he raped you when you were ten. The program will accept the made up trauma uncritically because it's what they want to hear. Yet, if they ever try to use it against the kid at a later date, the kid can prove it never happened and was made up to get the program off their back.
All intimate personal revelations to a therapist should be copious, made up, and untrue in verifiable ways---as verifiable as possible.
If we could only get the kids to plan ahead. I know that's against the nature of kids, but many of these kids are okay and just have freaky parents.
*sigh*

Actually the best way out is through.
No, not through the program's levels. That's a joke.
The best way to get out is to perform some act of unimaginable violence that they can't possibly keep you in after that. Biting someone as hard as you possibly can will probably work, particularly if it's done out of the clear blue sky. Thumbs in eyeballs also will likely work. Sharp objects are better. Don't fuck around. Drive them blind.
You might get sent to jail, but jail's better.
Edit: This is just one of those posts where I know some cockbite is going to think it's legally actionable, so I'll just say this: If you were getting raped by your dad or beaten by your mom, and were unable to go to the authorities, I'd give similar advice.
It is morally and ethically right for you to do anything you can to get out of an abusive situation.

Actually this isn't a very good idea. Most the kids that hit "zero tolerance" don't get sent home, but get sent to an even worse place...Tranquility Bay. Almost every kid that I saw get booted out of SCL went there or to another program. Very few went home. I guess if your idea of a better place is the hell hole called TB, then go for it. We actually had one kid that did try the biting thing. He was just a little bitty guy, but he could bite like hell! He was sent to Jamaica and as far as I know is still there. The staff he bit several times is still working at SCL.

Then his parents need to be tracked down and informed of their son's true condition. Now. This isn't going to end well.
Mexico did a raid. Why won't the Jamaican authorities?
This isn't a game or a joke. This shit has got to stop.

Why the hell didn't I do this earlier?
