new wwasp front group
This links from Micheal Carter's , Dayton Ohio, page:
Its a non profit donation organization that seemingly gives its proceeds to a for-profit agency? Isn't that ilegal? Wouldn't the IRS care?

Funds Raising Support for Residential Treatment Program Teens
Residential Treatment Programs are most successful when the entire family can participate in all aspects of the program. Most importantly, a teen needs to graduate the program. Many families face the hard decision of pulling their kid before they are “fully baked” and the results can be less than desirable. We offer Fund Raising opportunities for parents and support groups of all kinds who what to help keep a teen in their program to the end. The kits we provide take the guess work out of creating a successful fundraiser. By participating in a Teen Intervention Fund Raiser, you can directly help a teen and indirectly help thousands of other teens who are at risk now, or could become at-risk without intervention.
BuzzKill:
As Mr Carter is working so hard to recruit for his cult, maybe the IRS should look into how much success he has had and whether or not he reported his kickback income.

Why is it so many people here get so threatened whenever statistics or facts are brought up for discussion?

Because they almost never come from an independent source. Programs say 97% of our students graduate bla bla, and we're supposed to trust them on that? Statistics are bullshit without hard data to back them up along with independent verification of that data and it's methods of collection etc, etc... Similarly, why are we supposed to believe anything else they say? It's in their interest to scare up customers. What is keeping them from exaggerating the dangers of growing up? Where are their sources? This sort of thing isn't marketed towards parents with troubled kids. It's marketed towards parents so they'll see their kids as troubled. Big difference.
I can show you statistics to show that 97% of the benchmark students I can remember by name from when I was there did *not* graduate. Still... I don't expect anybody to just take my word on that. It's based off my memory of student's names, my memory of what happened to them, and there is no independent verification other than that which you trust I have done. That's just common sense. I state how I know what I know or why I believe what I believe.
On the other hand, programs make rediculous statements of fact in regard to statistics which they know full well to be false or misleading, and they do so with the express intent of luring parents into making decisions which in reality might not be the best. You want proof? go call up teen help with a fictional kid... make up some real rediculous issue (like "my kid says he's gay") and see if they refuse him. Do it a bunch of times and report back with a statistic of precisely how many kids they reject... because when it comes down to it, programs don't really care whether a kid has a problem or not, but whether or not they can make money off easy, desperate, marks. It's a con game.
