Suicide at AAA

I'm fairly certain that the boy's family settled for a large amount with Aspen.
These settlements inevitably include a hush agreement. How many are there?
This is one of the many reasons why Aspen is most insidious of corporate owners of these programs. they have plenty of money to shell out for settlements, unlike nearly all the others.

Anyone have the mom's phone number?
'Cause I wanna call her up and ask her how much her dead kid was worth.

When?
Was there anything in the media? Any documentation- DHS investigation, police report?

It happened this year. No name. See Hurly's comments, they are very accurate.

IThank you for the affirmation dear Guest!
Very hush hush is right.
Aspen's extremely manipulative marketing/business m.o. so pervasive and convincing that I believe that there are people even on this list who continue to believe that Aspen doesn't use the same b.m. torture that WWASPS, Provo, et al, do. Their programs do vary and there are some (leaving out all the "due process" and their outrageous fees, un or under qualified staff, and lack of oversight) that are useful for a few of types of diagnoses - mostly Asperger's types of conditions and a few others. I won't go into that now but as a former therapist I've been thinking a lot about when a restrictive structured environment (regulated, with well qualified staff, and due process, access to the world etc... ) might be warranted.
