Great find,Zen. A few things that popped out at me was PV staff’s forward thinking. Many people look at the "Teen industry" without looking at the different modes (or stratification if you will) which exists within the industry ….i.e RTC’s, Boot camp, Wilderness,TBS etc.. Some of these areas may be in more immediate need (and levels) of regulation than others. It would be prudent to focus first on the areas which are in the most need. I am hoping when the committee goes thru their findings that they are able to separate them into the various modes to get a look at the more abusive or exposed areas within the industry.
I am sure, like any other business, they really polished up the place and put their best kids forward for the "dog and pony show" with a congressman touring the place. Talk about crunch time!! It was good to see that they want to be part of the solution, though.
