Gawd Close, it's Alberta Adolescent Recovery Center. But they call themselves the "AARC Angels". *vomit*

? How will we know if laws banning these programs won't work if we don't try? Laws are certainly not the only solution or the best solution, but it was stupid laws like the age of majority system and institutionalized childhood that got our society into this mess, so perhaps some well thought out legislation can get us out.


Educational intitiatives will certainly be needed as well, teens need to know their rights, and parents and teens need to be aware of the dangerous scams and cults claiming to be adolescent mental health services. We need to keep track of the bad programs and try to shut them down, and we need to work with the good programs to make sure they stay that way.


In regards to enforcing existing laws, we should try to get the penalties raised for institutional abuse, and the statute of limitations extended.  Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to the
highest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unruly
distemper, it often brings in the room of it a worse and more dangerous
disease, by breaking the mind; and then, in the place of a disorderly young
fellow, you have a low spirited moap'd creature, who, however with his
unnatural sobriety he may please silly people, who commend tame unactive
children, because they make no noise, nor give them any trouble; yet at
last, will probably prove as uncomfortable a thing to his friends, as he
will be all his life an useless thing to himself and others... Beating them,
and all other sorts of slavish and corporal punishments, are not the
discipline fit to be used in the education of those we would have wise,
good, and ingenuous men...

Death at Tranquility Bay (Teen Help), Jamaica A girl jumped off of a 35ft high balcony to her death soon after her arrival at the Teen Help concentration camp in Jamaica , calling itself Tranquility Bay.



Check the JamaicaObserver.com and search for "Tranquility" for two articles relatively even sided and a parent's support letter for the school. Rocky Mountain News also has an article on the death at www.rockymountainnews.com...71,00.html


along with another about an abusive Samoa program which appears to be affiliated with Cartisano, the inventor of the  wildnerness therapy scam and how parents of a depressed teen rescued her from there.  Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to the
